Roar Rookie
“Barcelona have raided Olympique Lyon for seven year-old Kais. The youngster was signed by Lyon after being spotted playing for FC Gerland. However, after just two days of trials in May, he was offered a place at Barca’s academy.”
“La Tribune de Lyon says Lyon insiders claim in 30 years they have seen only one other youngster with the ability of Kais: Karim Benzema, now of Real Madrid.
“Kais will move to Barcelona once he finishes his school year.”
Personally, I find this absolutely ludicrous! The poor lad has now a heap of pressure weighing down on him and he’s only seven. I don’t think anyone should have to see clubs stealing players of such a young and fragile age.
At this rate, clubs will be signing the offspring of famous footballers. Pele’s son, aged 5months, signed to Chelsea for 500,000 pounds Maradona’s son, aged 2 years, signed to Barcelona for 1.5m pounds
Could you honestly imagine something like that occuring?
I find it absolutely disgusting at how clubs are now treating players and children as some form of commodity that they can throw money at in the hope that they live up to the HUGE expectations on them.
