Omar will be Spanish on the 9th: the full-back can go with the U19

Omar el hilali you are living a few dreamy weeks. After debuting as a starter on the last day of LaLiga SmartBank with the Spanish at just 17 years old, on the 9th he will swear the Constitution and it will become Spanish for all purposes, so it can already be selected by the U19 of Santi Denia. The news was advanced this morning by La Grada and has been able to confirm it ACE. After two years of paperwork, the footballer will already have a Spanish passport.

Although he is already a regular in the U21 of his country and the Moroccan technical direction plans to make his debut with the senior team soon, the player raised in the Santa Eulàlia neighborhood of L'Hospitalet prefers to make a career in the Spanish inferiors, and It is not ruled out that he can attend the next U-19 call, according to comments from his environment. Before, yes, Omar will be one of the protagonists of the summer at Espanyol.

The player will do the preseason with the first team for all purposes after a 2020-21 campaign in which he has already emerged strongly in Vicente Moreno's team. The Moroccan went last August, at only 16 years old, to the Blue and White stay in Malaga, where he even had minutes like against Huesca in the first friendly of the course. During the season, he has played with the subsidiary but has alternated training with the first team. He made his debut in Albacete (0-3) and started against Alcorcón with a remarkable performance.

Omar has a contract until 2025, a clause of six million and in the club there is a predisposition to treat his renewal or improvement of conditions in the near future. However, claimed by clubs in Italy and Germany, the player is now open to three scenarios. The first of them is that it forms part of the dynamics of the first squad all year round and has sporadic participation while it competes with the subsidiary, which will serve in the Second RFEF (the fourth Spanish). A coherent scenario taking into account that the sports management wants to accelerate the training processes, although it runs into a position in which Miguel Llambrich, Óscar Gil and Víctor Gómez are ahead.

The second scenario for Omar is that he is assigned to a Second A (there is interest), in this way he has to live another context and compete at a higher category than that of the subsidiary. Staying in the second team one more campaign is the third way, perhaps the most logical for the sports management of Espanyol, which intends to recover the category lost this year with the restructuring of Second B and for this it needs players like Omar.
