Barcelona could knock on their rivals Real Madrid’s door for the services of their teenage sensation Paulo lago.
According to a report by SPORT, Paulo lago could be on the move in the upcoming summer transfer window. The 16-year-old Real Madrid sensation is not happy with his role at the club, and he is considering his future. He has been linked with Barcelona, and they could make a move for him ahead of next season.
Paulo lago: The teenage sensation
The teenage sensation joined La Fabrica during his childhood days, and he has come up the ranks at some pace. Over the years, he has been one of the players who has attracted a lot of attention because of his incredible talent.
They consider him to be a generational talent and he has often been compared with Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal. The duo has been the most talked about players while coming up the ranks. But, the present seems to be quite different for both of them.
Yamal is already a first-team player at Barcelona, while Paulo lago is considering his future with Los Blancos. He is not happy with his current role in Alvaro Arbeloa’s Juvenil A side. He has been subject to the bench during quite a few important games this term, and it has frustrated him.
Paulo lago could join rivals Barcelona
Despite penning down a new deal last summer that runs until 2025, the player could push for a move away in the upcoming window as he is not getting the kind of role he was promised. Meanwhile, there is a €13 million release clause in his contract, and there is interest in his services from across Europe.
Barcelona are one of the clubs that have been linked with the 16-year-old sensation, and they could make a move for him in the near future. The Catalan giants are always on the lookout for players who can help bolster their squad, and Paulo lago could be a sensational signing for them.
The main reason why they have been linked with the Real Madrid sensation is the fact that he shares agent with Yamal. The duo is represented by Jorge Mendes and given the Portuguese super-agent’s relationship with Barcelona, there could be a possibility of the teenager joining the rivals.
