Eliesse Ben Seghir has made a strong impression in Monaco since the start of the season. The young Moroccan winger is the envy of many. PSG is a serious contender but FC Barcelona perhaps has the arguments to get it back.
The Rocher club knows how to create and maintain its gems. Maghnes Akliouche and Eliesse Ben Seghir prove it this season. The two young players from Monaco are impressing Ligue 1 and Europe. They have had a string of big performances including a prestigious success against Barcelona in the Champions League. Enough to make PSG dream, which has decided to recruit the duo in the near future. However, the Parisians will have competition on these issues with FC Barcelona in particular. According to Goal et Sports Worldthe Catalan club is only targeting one of the two Monegasques, the youngest, Eliesse Ben Seghir.
Ben Seghir in Barcelona thanks to feelings?
At 19 years old, the Moroccan is progressing at great speed as evidenced by his solid statistics this season: 7 goals and 4 assists in all competitions. Barça is not the favorite for his transfer given its financial concerns which force it to wait until the last hours of 2024 to register Dani Olmo with La Liga. But the Blaugranas are banking on their glorious past to convince Ben Seghir to join their ranks. Indeed, the Moroccan international admitted his admiration for Neymar and Lionel Messi when the two men made Catalonia vibrate.
« Neymar is my role model. I love his freedom and his style of play. All the young players admire him. And of course there's Messi, whose ability to beat an entire team is incredible », blurted Ben Seghir in Our Mondial just a few days ago. FC Barcelona will therefore try to play on the young man's feelings to conclude an important transfer. Indeed, the Monegasque left winger is seen as a serious alternative to Nico Williams next summer if the Bilbao player does not come. He could even act as a replacement for Dani Olmo if the former Leipzig player were to be released soon.
