Barcelona interested in 20-year-old Moroccan winger, reveals agent | OneFootball

The name of 20-year-old Moroccan winger Gessime Yassine is beginning to gain momentum in the market for emerging talents.

After shining at the Under-20 World Cup with Morocco, the young winger secured a transfer to RC Strasbourg in January earlier this year.

But a bigger move could be just around the corner for the attacker, with his agent dropping a hint about the same.

Barcelona among the clubs interested

Indeed, Yassine’s representative, Herve Cros, revealed that Barcelona are closely monitoring the player’s development but clarified that no formal offer has been made yet.

“Barça’s interest in signing Yassine is real, but so far, there is no official offer. We are waiting to see what happens next,” Cros revealed in an interview on WinWin Sport (h/t Mundo Deportivo).

Yassine’s reputation grew significantly after an impressive performance at the FIFA U-20 World Cup, where he was one of the key players in the Moroccan team’s historic title-winning campaign.

Capable of playing on either wing, the 20-year-old forward was one of the tournament’s standout performers, boosting his profile and attracting the attention of several European clubs.

Following that, he joined RC Strasbourg during the most recent winter transfer window and has since become one of the standout young prospects.

People close to the young forward believe the next transfer window could be crucial in determining his future.

For now, Barcelona’s scouting department continues to monitor the situation surrounding one of Morocco’s most promising talents while deciding whether to take the next step and attempt to sign him.
