Lamine Yamal has been the talk of Barcelona over the last 12 months, and his spectacular year concluded in fine style on Sunday as he helped Spain win their fourth European Championship title. He’s now set to rest ahead of the new season kicking off next month, and for now, one member of his family has taken his place in Hansi Flick’s first team.

As reported by El Gol Digital, Manuil Nasraoui Yamal – Lamine Yamal’s cousin – was called up to train with the Barcelona first team on Tuesday. The 18-year-old is described as an “up-and-coming figure at La Masia”, and if he manages to impress Flick over the next couple of weeks, he could be included in the squad for the pre-season tour of the United States.

Manuil Nasraoui Yamal is just one of many exciting young players at Barcelona, but given his relation with Lamine Yamal, it’s inevitable that he will have more eyes watching him in the coming weeks and months. It remains to be seen whether he can take his first team opportunity.
