Bryan Gil has been making a name for himself in the Spanish top flight. While he has struggled to pin a regular role for Julen Lopetegui’s side, he has impressed in his loan stints with Leganes and Eibar, respectively.

The 20-year-old is poised to return to Sevilla at the end of the season when his loan deal expires. However, Barcelona are looking at snapping up the youngster.

Barcelona veteran scout German Vaya Ballabriga, who was the brain behind Ansu Fati’s move to Barcelona, has labeled Gil 'the best footballer in Spain' while stating the club's interest in his services.

Speaking to Cadena Ser via Marca, Ballabriga, popularly known as Mani, said in this regard:

"He is right now the best footballer in Spain, and I compare him with Neymar. He has things of his own that are of an enormous versatility: as a winger, a midfielder and a left-sided forward. He is impressive."

"I have spoken with Ramon Planes (technical director), and he has Bryan Gil in mind. If they do so now, he has a clause of €35m (£30.7m), but if he renews with Sevilla, he will have a €150m (£131.4m) clause."

Along with Barcelona, AC Milan are also reportedly interested in the services of the Spanish playmaker; according to Calciomercato, Stefano Pioli's side are exploring a potential summer move for Gil.

However, it is reported that Sevilla are reluctant to see their star asset leave. They are looking at a two-year contract extension that would keep him till 2025.

Sevilla are also looking to raise his release clause from €35m to €150m as they aim to fend off interest for his services.
