FC Barcelona has among its plans to enhance a player from the quarry whom it shielded with a million euros.

FC Barcelona has been betting heavily on the training categories and wants to have a new golden generation after the appearances of a historic litter that gave birth to footballers such as Xavi Hernández, Iniesta, Sergio Busquets and Lionel Messi. The leaders are fully confident that renewal is the key to the future, and they have been working hard on projects that are a reality, such as the Gavi and Pedri cases.

The current Barcelona squad led by Xavi Hernández has examples that invite excitement. Lamine Yamal, Alejandro Balde and Fermín López are the specimens who have been earning a place in the professional squad that has a strong name but now there is a new footballer who is predicted to be the best in the future due to his conditions and what he has been demonstrating in the youth categories.

Noah Darvich is the new jewel of the Barcelona youth academy and there are great hopes for the German-born attacking midfielder. At only 16 years old, the club made the decision to leave him a termination clause of one billion euros. And yet he has still not played a single official minute with the first team. The midfielder was given important conditions in Freiburg and that is why the club bought him for 2.5 million euros in a deal that also had a head-to-head with Real Madrid, one of the many European teams that wanted to retain his services. Now he must continue working to earn a place in the consideration of Xavi Hernández, something that would be a matter of time before maintaining this superlative level in training.

Ansu Fati's case did not go well

Ansu Fati was calling to make Lionel Messi's Heir and everyone projected a huge future for him. Far from being up to par, the forward never lived up to expectations and he had to leave in this transfer market because he had lost ground in Xavi Hernández's consideration. The directors loaned him to Brighton in England where they hope he can gain rhythm thinking about a strengthened return to the Catalan club.
