Spanish media reports have revealed that Lamine Yamal, the Barcelona star, has asked his club's management to trust Egyptian Hamza Abdelkarim and not to sign a new world-class striker, amid the Catalan club's renewed links with Norwegian Erling Haaland, the Manchester City striker.

The Spanish newspaper "El Nacional" mentioned that Haaland has returned to Barcelona's radar, given the situation Manchester City is facing, noting that the Catalan club is monitoring the possibility of signing him in the future, and that Joan Laporta, the club president, has not given up on the dream of signing the Norwegian striker.

Yamal does not believe, according to the report, that there is a need for Barcelona to make a huge financial investment to sign Haaland, given the level his Brazilian teammate Raphinha is providing.

The report added that Yamal advised Deco, Barcelona's sporting director, not to sign a new outright striker, whether Haaland or Argentine Julian Alvarez.

The newspaper pointed out that there is another reason behind Yamal's position, which is the presence of the young Egyptian striker Hamza Abdelkarim, who surprised everyone during his first weeks with the first team of Barcelona. The Spanish star requested the club to give him the full confidence he needs, instead of signing a new striker.

The newspaper continued: Signing Haaland or Julian Alvarez or any top striker will increase competition in front of the young Egyptian striker, while Yamal prefers that Hamza continue to have the opportunity within the team.
