Williams and Yamal in the sights of the big names

(ANSA) – ROME, JUNE 22 – The show put on the field against Italy by Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal has sparked even more general interest in the two young talents and according to the Spanish media the respective clubs, Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona are preparing to manage a predictable assault on their pupils at the end of the European Championship. The Basque club in particular – reports As, which defines the two players as the ‘Envy of Europe’ – despite having renewed the contract with the player a few months ago which includes a clause of less than 60 million, fears of losing him already during the summer. The giants of the Premier League, from Arsenal to Manchester United, from Chelsea to Liverpool, have also been on the trail of the little gem who drove Di Lorenzo crazy, but Mbappè’s orphaned PSG would also be lurking. The striker of Ghanaian origin, as far as we know, is not determined to leave his team or in any case would like to do so in a soft way, but in a few weeks the issue will become hot. Once upon a time, Barcelona would have been one of the natural landing places for the striker of Ghanaian origin, creating a pair of aces with Amine Yamal, but the economic situation of the Blaugrana club does not allow great wing moves and the risk is that even the almost 17 year old Cantera product could end up in the sights of some competitor. PSG had already made advances months ago, even if last October president Laporta locked down the player until 30 June 2026 with a one billion clause. Yamal has said several times that he hopes to become a Barçellona legend, but he probably expects at least one adjustment to his contract soon. (HANDLE).
