Unexpected! Deco Asks About Him at Valladolid-Barça: Lamine Yamal Wants Him

FC Barcelona's sporting director takes advantage of the visit to Valladolid to inquire about a player they like a lot

FC Barcelona faces a challenging match in Valladolid that could be key in the course of LaLiga. Hansi Flick's team faces the bottom team, already relegated, in a match that is between the Champions League semifinal tie. The danger lies in not thinking about the match, potentially losing control and complicating things in a competition that is still undecided.

Deco Asks About Adam Aznou in the Valladolid-Barça Match

Taking advantage of the visit to Valladolid, Deco hasn't missed the opportunity to try to do business. Despite already being relegated, the blanquivioleta club has interesting players in its squad. One of them is Adam Aznou, a Barça youth player, now on loan from Bayern. At 18 years old, he has spent the last phase of the season on loan at José Zorrilla, where he has played a total of 9 matches.

Deco has shown interest in Valladolid's impressions of Aznou, trying to understand their general feeling. The Moroccan is liked, although he is a complicated signing: he has a contract with Bayern until 2027 and left La Masia for free three years ago.

A large expenditure for Adam Aznou isn't being considered, but it is true that Barcelona is looking for a reliable backup left-back. The Moroccan is expected to have great potential, and one of his biggest supporters at Barça is a figure like Lamine Yamal, a close friend of his.

Adam Aznou: The La Masia Gem Who Went to Bayern

Adam Aznou is one of the greatest talents currently in soccer. Trained at La Masia, the Moroccan defender stood out from a young age as a left-back with a strong offensive vocation, good ball handling, and a notable ability to join the attack. His departure from the club in 2022 surprised many, but he decided to take on a new challenge and signed with Bayern, where he has continued to grow in his development as a footballer.

Three years after leaving Barça, Deco is now exploring his return, and Adam Aznou is willing to come back. But there are doubts. Although Joan Laporta likes and is convinced by him, and he also has the approval of Lamine Yamal, there are other left-backs at La Masia. Jofre Torrents is the same age and is considered the future replacement for Balde in the internal reports of the sports management.
