Barcelona preparing to strike for a PSG starlet
Youngster Yacine Adli has attracted attention from the Catalan giants
The 17 year old did not renew his contract and could sign for Barcelona
Barcelona are considering signing the star of PSG's youth academy Yacine Adli, whose contract ends at the end of the season. Adli will turn 18 this summer and according to L'Equipe he has not shown a lot of disposition to renew. The talented attacking midfielder has already received an offer from Man City but it seems like he'd prefer to go to Barcelona or Bayern Munich, other clubs who have approached him. It would be a big blow dealt by Barcelona to PSG.
PSG's new cantera director Luis Fernandez has done everything to try and keep Adli, a midfielder with great vision and goal threat. It's not an economic question but the player wants to prioritise sporting projects and for that he's attracted to Barcelona. At the end of his contract he would be very cheap - Barcelona just have to pay money towards the costs of his development - a figure which would not go over 300,000 euros.
The Blaugrana have a big net of overseas scouts and are keen on signing young talent. Adli has been a star in the UEFA Youth League this season.
