Official: Barcelona star wins La Liga season award
A member of the attacking ranks at Barcelona has on Thursday secured for himself a fresh piece of individual silverware. This comes amid confirmation that Lamine Yamal has been named La Liga's Young Player of the Year for 2024/25. Advertisement Wide-man Lamine is of course fresh off what was nothing short of a spectacular individual campaign. From his berth on the right of new boss Hansi Flick's frontline, the Spanish international ripped opposing backlines apart week in and week out, courtesy of elite touch, dribbling and final ball. All told, in 55 appearances across all competitions, Lamine racked up a head-turning haul of 18 goals and 25 assists. Nine of these goals, alongside a division-best 15 assists, came in La Liga, decisive figures in Barcelona wrestling back Spanish football supremacy from arch rivals Real Madrid. And as alluded to above, on Thursday, such efforts have been aptly recognised. Advertisement As per a release across La Liga's official social media channels, Lamine has been voted the La Liga Young (U23) Player of the Season for 2024/25. Conor Laird – GSFN

Nico Paz the strongest candidate to replace Florian Wirtz at Bayer Leverkusen
Sport Bild (via @bayer04Xtra) reports that Como's former Real Madrid player, Nico Paz, is the strongest candidate to replace Florian Wirtz at Bayer Leverkusen this summer. Through a buyback clause worth around €8m, Real Madrid are set to bring the Serie A Young Player of the Year back to the club, after only a year away, so he can play in the Club World Cup. After the inaugural edition of the tournament, Madrid will look to sell the 20-year-old on. Advertisement Paz wants to play regularly for a coach who can help him develop even further, and in the Champions League. All the things that Leverkusen can offer next season. The 20-year-old has already stated that he will not stay at Como this season. Madrid will demand around €30m for Paz, which will not be a problem for Leverkusen once they sell Wirtz. The LaLiga side could also look to include a buy-back clause in the deal, similar to when Dani Carvajal swapped the Bernabeu for the BayArena. What also plays into Leverkusen's hands is that they were so cooperative with Madrid when the Spanish side came for Xabi Alonso. GGFN | Jack Meenan
