English winger reaches agreement with Barcelona

A talented English winger has reached full agreement with Barcelona and is closing in on a move to Camp Nou.

With La Masia once again at the heart of the sporting project, the Catalans are aggressively targeting highly technical, creative attackers who can be moulded into future first-teamers.

In recent months, the scouting department has intensified its focus on the English market, where several promising wide players have emerged.

Now, an English winger is understood to be closing in on a move to Barcelona, in a deal that underlines the club’s long-term planning.

The player in question is Ajay Tavares of Norwich City, a 16-year-old forward widely regarded as one of the most exciting young prospects in England, as reported by Diario Sport.

Barcelona has practically sealed its signing, having reached an agreement with the player and his entourage weeks ago.

Ajay Tavares, who already features for Norwich’s Under-18 side despite his age, has impressed scouts with his pace, 1v1 ability, and end product from the flanks.

Crucially, he holds a Portuguese passport, a detail that significantly eases his move abroad as a minor; had he been only British, FIFA regulations would have forced him to wait until turning 18.

At this stage, the transfer is effectively agreed and only awaits FIFA’s formal approval.

The governing body must complete the administrative process before giving the green light for Tavares to be registered as a Barcelona player.

Personal terms have already been settled, and within the club, there is quiet confidence that the operation will be completed without complications.

From there, the idea is to gradually integrate him into Barça Atlètic, with a long-term view of one day reaching the first team if his development matches expectations.

In many ways, this move mirrors the club’s broader strategy of blending local La Masia gems with carefully selected foreign prospects, ensuring a steady pipeline of attacking talent for years to come.
