After failing to bring Lionel Messi to the Etihad, Manchester City are reportedly setting their sights on Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal, the 18-year-old sensation already being hailed as “the next big thing” in world football.
Sources close to the club claim Pep Guardiola has personally pushed for the pursuit, describing Yamal as “a generational player — pure creativity, speed, and fearlessness.” The teenager’s performances for Barcelona have drawn comparisons to Messi’s early years, with his dazzling dribbles and game-changing vision electrifying fans across Europe.
City are said to be preparing an astronomical offer to test Barcelona’s resolve, despite the Catalan club insisting Yamal is “untouchable.” Still, insiders suggest that financial pressure and City’s long-term project could prove too tempting to resist.
If the deal goes through, it would mark one of the most ambitious transfers in recent memory, signaling Manchester City’s determination to secure the superstar they missed once before — and this time, they’re not taking no for an answer.
