Barcelona announces the official signing of top Spanish winger in what stands as one of the biggest homegrown coups.
Announced across the club’s channels, the signing fits perfectly with the current board’s strategy of combining elite La Masia prospects with carefully selected external talents from Catalonia and beyond.
For a club still navigating financial constraints at the first-team level, smart youth recruitment like this is seen as a key pillar for sustaining future success on the pitch.
He is described as a fast, direct, and fearless left winger, deadly over the first few metres, constantly attacking full-backs in one-on-one situations and looking to create chances every time he receives the ball.
That player is Álex González Yanes, a 2009-born left winger who joins from CF Damm and will immediately link up with Barcelona’s Juvenil A side in La Masia, as per the official Barcelona statement.
The teenager arrived at Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper earlier this week with his representative, Alexander Amor, son of former Barça player Guillermo Amor, to finalise the agreement and undergo his medical before being presented as a new Barcelona player.
González has been one of the standout prospects in Catalan grassroots football. In 22 matches for Damm this season, he has scored 12 goals, an outstanding tally for a wide player at his age level.
Those traits make him a natural fit for Barcelona’s positional play model, where wingers are asked to stretch the pitch, beat their man, and provide end product.
While Deco’s scouting department has increasingly looked abroad in recent windows, González’s performances on the local circuit were simply too impressive to ignore.
By bringing Álex González into La Masia, Barcelona reinforces their commitment to building tomorrow’s first team from within.
If his development continues on its current trajectory, the new Juvenil A winger could soon be turning heads much higher up the club’s ladder.
