MOROCCO IS HOPEFUL OF CONVINCING LAMINE YAMAL TO SWITCH NATIONAL TEAM

According to a report from Spanish publication AS, Morocco is still trying to convince Barcelona striker Lamine Yamal to change his nationality.

Since he has not yet played his third match with the Spanish national team, they still have time to approach him. We must not forget that Yamal was recently called up to the Spain national team for his next international commitments. Even though he was injured, the young player still stood side by side with his teammates.

However, earlier today, we confirmed that the 16-year-old will be leaving the national team due to injury and will therefore return to Barcelona to begin his recovery process. Morocco is determined to secure the services of the Barcelona youngster, ​even though he made his debut with the Spanish national team and expressed his desire to continue representing La Roja.

These rules stipulate that a player with dual nationality may change teams if he has not appeared in up to three matches, official or unofficial, or if three years have passed since the last time he played for the national team for which he made his debut.

Yamal's injury is a blessing for Morocco Had it not been for injury, the 16-year-old striker would have played his third game for Spain during this international break, but now that he is back at Barcelona, ​​​Morocco has the chance to make a move for the player.

                                                   Lamine Yamal has played just two games for Spain so far

Currently, Lamine Yamal has only played two matches (against Georgia and Cyprus), leaving a chance for Morocco to make the switch before they can no longer change their allegiance.

Yamal, born in Mataro to a Moroccan father and an Equatorial Guinean mother, broke the Spain national team record in his on-field debut against Georgia. In doing so, he became the youngest player ever to play for Spain at the age of 16 years and 57 days.
