Barça is closely monitoring Eliesse Ben Seghir, a young Moroccan winger who is becoming one of the revelations of the season in Monaco

Calendar of FC Barcelona

As of this hour on Tuesday, December 31, the offices of FC Barcelona are 'on fire' waiting to secure the registration of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor. However, with confidence that they will achieve the registration of both forwards, the sports management of the azulgrana club continues its planning for the next season.

One of the priorities of the Catalan entity is to strengthen the attack with a winger, and although top-level figures like Rafael Leao or Nico Williams are on the culé radar, young footballing talents are also part of the 'casting'. In this sense, Eliesse Ben Seghir, a 19-year-old star from AS Monaco, is the latest to join the list, as reported by 'GOAL'.

A very culé promise

The Moroccan attacker is becoming one of the sensations of the season in the team managed by 'Adi' Hütter, where he has accumulated seven goals and four assists in 24 matches this season. In fact, Barça experienced this firsthand earlier in the season during their visit to the Principality for the Champions League, where the player was a 'pain in the neck' for the azulgrana defense.

Moreover, Ben Seghir has already dropped a couple of 'hints' regarding his interest in Barça in the past by stating that "Neymar is my example. I love his freedom and style of play. And, of course, there is Messi, whose ability to surpass an entire team is incredible" in an interview with 'Onze Mondial', so his name will be one to watch closely in the coming weeks.
