Spanish winger closing in on Barcelona move

Barcelona have made significant progress and are now closing in on the signing of a promising Spanish winger.

The 11‑year‑old has already drawn plaudits from the club’s scouting network, with Barcelona convinced that his football intelligence and technical profile warrant an exception to their usual policy of only signing non‑Catalan players from the under‑13 age group onward.

The Blaugrana are now finalising a pathway for the youngster to join their under‑12 squad, with the move expected to be concluded in the coming weeks ahead of next season’s preparations.

The Spanish winger closing in on a Barcelona move is Youssef Khanfri, a 2015‑born attacker who has made a strong impression for Rayo Majadahonda’s under‑12 side, as reported by Diario Sport.

Playing both as a central midfielder and on the wing, Youssef  Khanfri has already registered seven goals this season, underlining his attacking instincts and eye for the final third.

Barcelona’s staff see him as a versatile prospect whose agility, dribbling, and passing range could see him deployed in several roles as he progresses through the youth ranks, with the wing likely being a key developmental avenue given the depth already present in central midfield.

For Barcelona, Youssef  Khanfri represents a long‑term project rather than an immediate first‑team commodity, but his early‑age breakthroughs have convinced the club to fast‑track his arrival at La Masia.

The plan is for him to integrate into the under‑12 setup over the summer, where he will be exposed to the club’s technical methodology and tactical principles from an early stage.

If his development continues along the projected trajectory, Youssef Khanfri could grow into one of FC Barcelona’s next home‑grown attackers, contributing to the Blaugrana’s long‑running pipeline of youth‑nurtured talent.
