The player, who is already becoming a regular fixture in the Blaugrana group, is also destined to become one of La Roja’s biggest promises, which is why the Spanish coach has to give him a yes-or-yes consideration.
Tomorrow, September 1st, the list of Luis de la Fuente with the players of the Spanish national team should already be published and a confirmation could be there. In the best style of Pedri or Gavi, another of the great talents of the Barcelona FC would form the squad that will face teams from Georgia and Cyprus in the Euro 2024 qualifiers.
This gem we’re talking about is none other than 16-year-old star Lamine Yamal. Last season he excelled in Juvenil A Azulgrana and made the leap into the first team in a great way. A maneuver that only a few have succeeded in doing. In fact, the man who was born in Esplugas de Llobregat, Barcelona became the youngest player to make his first-team debut in the culé club’s history.
With the approval of Luis de la Fuente’s Spanish selection, Lamine Yamal is gearing up for his debut
As the player has Moroccan roots through his parents, he has every right to represent the African team. In fact, the Football Association of that country has contacted him on several occasions with a view to including him in the Africa Cup of Nations squad. But the boy’s environment has already decided, and he will dress in European red.
Another reason why Lamine Yamal has opted for Spain national team again has to do with his past at La Rojita. And it is that the extreme right integrated the U15 and U16 divisions, so it was hardly logical that he wanted to reach the absolute squad. Without discrediting Morocco, who are a great side, the player made this decision with his future in mind.
Lamine Yamal is on course to break a record with Luis de la Fuente
If the name of the Catalan attacker appears in the final list of the La Rioja coach for these Euro Cup qualifiers, and later he doubts for even a minute that he will become the youngest player in history to make his debut for Spain’s senior national team. So far, the record is held by Gavi, who made it against Italy in the Nations League semifinals on October 6, 2021, aged 17 years and 62 days.
When Lamine Yamal makes his debut against the Georgia side on September 8, he will do so at the age of 16 years and 57 days. Or if he makes it against Cyprus then it’s 16 years and 61 days. The fact is that the boy is about to make a great achievement, which his family is very proud of. Just like Xavi who decided to give the attacker a chance in his squad.
