The Masia academy, which offers a solid base of domestic talent, has emerged as the mainstay of FC Barcelona’s current endeavor. Under coach Hansi Flick’s direction, the team is set up to compete for the top football titles in the globe. Promising players like Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsí, Alejandro Balde, and Gavi have been given chances by Flick despite their youth, and they have all performed brilliantly, demonstrating that the hype around their presence is well-earned.
As a result, a lot of people are watching Masia’s youth to see who will be the next big thing in the Barcelona lineup. One of the names being emphasized is more notable than the others because they are already involved with Barça Atletico. At the beginning of the season, Guille Fernández, a 17-year-old midfielder who was born in 2008, and his cousin Toni became the youngest players to score for Barcelona B.
Although both of the academy’s players are headed for noteworthy careers at the highest level, Guille’s distinctive talent appears to be especially noteworthy. He is a midfield player with exceptional technical skill and ball control. Guille also has a remarkable propensity for scoring goals, which sets him apart from many other standout midfielders from Barcelona’s youth divisions. His trademark is his ability to make late runs into the box, and he is skilled at long-range shots.
It should come as no surprise that clubs all over Europe are interested in his skill set. According to credible reports, elite teams like Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund, and Bayern Munich are interested in scouting his potential. In addition, it has been rumored that Porto is thinking of making an offer in an attempt to duplicate their successful agreement for Nico González, who relocated to Portugal with a Barcelona purchase option. To make sure they don’t lose this up-and-coming talent to rival suitors, Barcelona’s technical department is aggressively striving to protect Guille’s future with the team.
However, there can be some ambiguity due to the player’s position. Undoubtedly, Guille Fernández is aware of the intense rivalry for slots in Barcelona’s first squad, particularly in the midfield, where he faces elite players like Fermín López, Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, and Pedri. It might be difficult for him to make the first squad in this situation. Given this fact, he might think about taking one of the offers made to him this summer as a tenable way to go. Whatever the circumstances, Barcelona’s plans are still the same: Flick plans to assess him in preseason and decide then. However, this poses a serious problem for a club led by Joan Laporta.
