Morocco-France right winger Gessime Yassine of R. Strasbourg is being linked with a summer switch to Barcelona as the La Liga club monitor the 20-year-old’s situation in Ligue 1.
The Salon-de-Provence-born attacker, who represents both Moroccan and French nationality, is valued at €12.00m on Transfermarkt, with Spanish reports suggesting Barça scouts have tracked his progress ahead of a potential bid. The move remains at rumour stage, with the probability of a deal currently listed as “?” and no agreement reported between the clubs.
Yassine, a left-footed right winger standing 1.72m tall, wears the No 80 shirt for RC Strasbourg Alsace and has emerged as one of the more intriguing young attacking options in France. His contractual details at Strasbourg are unclear, with no expiry date publicly available, prompting speculation that the Alsace side could face a decision over whether to cash in or risk losing him closer to free‑agent territory in future windows.
The Franco-Moroccan prospect has been developing his game in Ligue 1, used predominantly on the right of attack where he can cut inside onto his stronger foot. Recent domestic appearances have added to his reputation, including a latest outing for Strasbourg in Ligue 1 where he featured against top-flight opposition; the match finished within the standard 90-minute regulation and formed part of the club’s ongoing battle for stability in France’s top tier.
Born on 22 November 2005 and already tied to the Strasbourg first team, Yassine’s profile – dual nationality, technical dribbling and versatility across the forward line – fits Barcelona’s long-standing preference for young, high-upside forwards.
If the Catalan interest hardens into a formal offer, a move to La Liga could accelerate Yassine’s rise, shaping his reputation as one of the next notable Morocco-France talents to make the step from Ligue 1 into the European elite.
