Barca want to tie down Lamine Yamal as Madrid targeting him

Barcelona striker Yamine Lamal made his first team debut in Saturday's match against Real Betis in La Liga. His good performances impressed the Catalan side.

"When you see Lamal in training you realise that he can be a top player. He's got a lot of talent," Xavi Hernandez said after the victory.

As a result, several clubs are interested in signing the 15-year-old but the Barcelona board are already working on a new contract for him, according to 'Mundo Deportivo'. 

Xavi's side want to tie down their new gem so that other clubs cannot target Lamal. In fact, according to 'Catalunya Radio', Real Madrid are keeping an eye on his situation. Los Blancos want to sign him if the Spaniard does not sign his new contract with Barca.
