Spanish media reports have revealed that Lamine Yamal, the Barcelona star, has asked the club's management to give Egyptian Hamza Abdelkarim confidence and not to sign a new global striker, amid the Catalan club's renewed interest in Norwegian Erling Haaland, the Manchester City striker.

The Spanish newspaper "El Nacional" reported 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's 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 of performance of his Brazilian teammate Raphinha.

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 grant him the full confidence he needs, instead of signing a new striker.

The newspaper continued: Signing Haaland or Julian Alvarez or any top-tier striker will increase competition for the young Egyptian striker, while Yamal prefers that Hamza continues to have the opportunity within the team.
