Eliesse Ben Seghir on Barça's radar

Eliesse Ben Seghir has caught the attention of FC Barcelona. The young Moroccan international from AS Monaco is on the Catalan club's shortlist, according to the daily newspaper Sport. Barcelona’s scouts have reportedly made several trips to closely monitor the player’s performances.

At just 20 years old, Eliesse Ben Seghir is enjoying a promising season with Monaco. In Ligue 1, he has tallied 6 goals and 3 assists across 30 matches. Agile, explosive, and tactically astute in his movement, he perfectly fits the profile Hansi Flick is looking for to bolster Barça’s attacking options. Another crucial detail: the Moroccan winger is a devoted Barça fan—a fact he has made public in the past. That mutual interest could make a deal more likely.

Under contract with AS Monaco until June 2027, Ben Seghir won’t be easy to pry away. Still, the Catalan club seems ready to make a move. His nomination for the UNFP Young Player of the Year award is further proof of his upward trajectory.
