He emphasized his respect for the selection of the footballer, who was born in Spain to a Moroccan father, and wished him success.
The Moroccan Football Federation tried to include the Barcelona player in the Moroccan national team, held several matches with him in Morocco and Spain, but in the end they failed to convince him, and the player chose the Spanish national team.
In an interview with Marca newspaper in 2024, Lakya said: “We met with his parents (his father is Moroccan and his mother is from Equatorial Guinea)… We presented him and his family with our project, but Lamine was already convinced to go to Spain and we wished him success in his work. Spain and Morocco are commonplace.
He added that the Moroccan Football Federation presented the Moroccan football project and its goals to the player and that they respect his decision and wish him success.
