The Moroccan Football Federation has denied claims of offering financial incentives to Lamine Yamal to switch international allegiances from Spain.

It's been suggested in the local press that the Moroccan FA made a financial offer and also put pressure on the Barcelona whizkid to commit to them.

But in a statement, the FA said: "It is absolutely false and there is no proof.

"The Moroccan Federation has respected the decision of Lamine Yamal, as he did with other footballers of Moroccan origin who chose to compete with other national teams despite the great efforts made to convince emerging players.
