Barça lands another rising star

A new prodigy arrives at Barça!
FC Barcelona continues to pursue an aggressive strategy of recruiting young talent, looking well beyond just the pool of La Masia. After several arrivals this winter, the Catalan club is pressing on with its post-academy development work, aiming to anticipate the future and strengthen its youth ranks with prospects already identified across Europe.
According to Sport, Barça has finalized the signing of Ajay Tavares, a 16-year-old English winger who has been playing for Norwich. The deal still awaits administrative approval, as FIFA must confirm the transfer, which is made possible thanks to his dual Portuguese nationality.
Once the move is made official, Tavares is expected to join Barça’s U19 squad. The same source indicates that the Blaugrana have beaten out several Premier League clubs for his signature, a clear sign that the competition for this young attacking prospect is already fierce. Another bold move in Barça’s recruitment strategy.
