Barcelona have bid rejected for Hachim Mastour

Il Corriere dello Sport is reporting that AC Milan have rejected an approach from Barcelona for talented midfielder Hachim Mastour.

The 16-year-old, who signed the first professional contract with the Rossoneri on his birthday in June, has yet to be handed his first team debut, but is, nonetheless, regarded as one of club’s hottest prospects.

Mastour has been training with the senior squad from the start of the season and he largely impressed in several friendly appearances.

Europe’s top clubs have been casting admiring glances his way, with Barcelona even attempting to lure him to Camp Nou.

However, AC Milan chiefs swiftly rejected the approach from the Catalans as they see Mastour as a great prospect for the future.

The attacking midfielder has a contract until June 2017 at San Siro, and chances are he won’t be leaving the Rossoneri any time soon, in spite of the heavy interest in his services.
