We have seen the big teams in Europe coming to recruit young stars from America and FC Barcelona is no exception. The Spanish team is characterized for looking for players before they turn 20 and sending them to the Academy at La Masia. Now they put the eye on three possibly future stars of the League.

The first one is Brenden Aaronson from Philadelphia Union. This wonder kid midfielder is playing his second season for the team after two years at Bethlehem Steel FC. The 19-year-old has been on 32 matches and scored 4 goals for Philly, if he keeps performing at this level he will become a key player to Jim Curtin

Then there is Gianluca Busio, he is one year younger than Aaronson but he played for three years at the top level in the Sporting Kansas City. The forward has 4 goals in 39 appearances and an extra one if we count the goals at Sporting Kansas City II. His family is from Italy and he seems to be interested in playing in Europe soon.

Last but not least, we have to talk about Cade Cowell. He is the youngest, only 17 years old. He has only 12 matches and one goal with SJ Earthquakes but he has become a wonder kid since the age of 14. He scored 34 goals in 33 games playing for the U-15’s United States International Team.
