FC Barcelona is close to signing a talented teenage forward, strengthening Hansi Flick’s vision for a future-ready squad.
The organization has a huge scouting network and has found a forward who can play in any position and fits into FC Barcelona’s future as the blend of youth and tactical flexibility improves.
Due to their financial standing, this deal is representative of their intent to acquire players that are relatively “cheap” and at the very least expensive for their ceiling, that can help improve the squad now and into the future.
FC Barcelona is being proactive to ensure the organization can compete in La Liga, the Champions League, and other competitions while still abiding by financial legislation.
The versatility of the attacking player means they should fit seamlessly into Hansi Flick’s approach.
The potential star player is called Cardoso Varela, a gifted 16-year-old Portuguese winger who is currently at Dinamo Zagreb, as reported by Mundo Deportivo.
Reports state FC Barcelona have negotiated a deal upwards of €10 million, which will allow the winger to remain in Croatia for another season before he plays at Camp Nou, any time potentially as late as 2027.
The exciting pace, flair, and goal-scoring ability have led some very informed scouting personnel to regard him as one of FC Barcelona’s hoped young talents like Lamine Yamal.
His impressive showings in Croatia’s youth competitions have piqued the interest of Barcelona’s scouts, who view him as a long-term investment to bolster the club’s attacking department.
The signing of Varela bridges into Barcelona’s ongoing drive to develop emerging talent under Flick’s stewardship.
After getting close to finalizing the deal, Barcelona is about to add another gem to the crown, one that helps bring grassroots youth development resources to work with their long-standing stars.
While Barcelona navigates through a tough transfer market, it will be interesting to see if Varela’s addition can bring them back towards what was at one time expected of them.
