Young promise of the MLS is ready as replacement of Lionel Messi in the FC Barcelona

Gianluca Busio has been one of the great revelations of the Major League Soccer, which is why FC Barcelona has him in their sights. Busio is a homegrown player for Sporting Kansas City, where he has played 48 games for the first team, 26 as a starter, has five goals and five assists in 2350 minutes played. For most of the year FC Barcelona has been interested in the player's abilities. However, there is still no formal offer from the club.

Other teams have asked about Gianluca Busio's services, including Germany's Bayern Munich and Italy's Fiorentina. If he signed with FC Barcelona, Busio would become the third American to join the Spanish club, in addition to the defender Sergiño Dest and winger Konrad de la Fuente.

At just 18 years old, the Kansas City footballer has aroused the interest of many clubs in Europe, as he has been one of the great revelations of Major League Soccer, after showing an impressive performance for a footballer of his age. He is an under-20 international with the United States, has added 16 MLS games, scoring 1 goal and 3 assists and acts as a midfielder.

Its market value is currently € 4M, Benfica and Sevilla have been closely monitoring the American footballer for some time and teams such as FC Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Liverpool FC and AC Milan have searched for him. Kansas City works day and night to convince him to extend the contract thinking about a future and productive sale, since his relationship with the team ends on December 31 of this year
