Xavi: Yamal is the chosen son, he can do actions that only Neymar or Messi can do

A few days ago, Xavi revealed in an interview that he almost joined Serie A team many times in his career.

Xavi said when talking about the possibility of joining Milan in 1999: "I had negotiations with Galliani. He even went to Barcelona with my father shortly after I won the 1999 Nigeria World Youth Championship with the Spanish U20 national team. At that time, the team's lineup was almost saturated. I had the opportunity to go to Serie A, but I was not completely convinced."

Nearly 10 years later, in 2008, Xavi got the opportunity to enter Serie A again: "I could choose to join Bayern or Inter Milan. But my first choice was always Barcelona. It is true that in difficult times, in the face of many criticisms, I considered leaving, but my heart always wanted to stay in Barcelona."

For Yamal, Xavi said : "Yamar is the chosen son. He may become one of the geniuses in football history. It depends on himself, on his ambition and his passion."

"He was able to pass professional players at the age of 15 or 16. Even in training, our coaching staff often argued about who is the best player, and almost every day, or most of the time, the winner was him."

"Yamar can make those special moves, those technical moves you will only see players of Neymar and Messi. I think he is ready, so he has no hesitation. He himself has no fear and no psychological burden. He can change the game; everything he shows at this age is a miracle."
