Barcelona academy talent’s future depends on performances at U19 Euros this summer | OneFootball

Noah Darvich is one of many Barcelona academy prospects who have been looking to make an impression in the first team for quite a while now.

Formerly of SC Freiburg, Darvich is an attacking midfielder by trade, who is regarded as one of the most talented young players in the Barcelona academy.

Darvich is rated quite highly by Hansi Flick as well. However, the youngster hasn’t quite been able to earn a promotion to the first team and follow in the footsteps of Marc Casado, Gerard Martin or even Hector Fort.

Now, with his contract expiring next year, Darvich’s future has appeared uncertain, with many clubs showing interest in his services.

Barcelona are aware of the growing interest but have decided to wait until this summer’s U-19 European Championship before making any definitive decisions about the player’s future.

Adding to the uncertainty is the fragile position of Barça Atletic, who are facing relegation from the Primera Federacion.

This raises questions about the development opportunities for key prospects like Darvich, who has already captained Germany at youth levels and boasts World and European U17 titles.

That said, coach Flick is believed to see potential in the teenager, who has trained with the first team and been called up for two La Liga matches this season – against Celta Vigo and Real Valladolid – though he didn’t get on the pitch in either.

Therefore, it will be imperative for Darvich to make an impression in the upcoming U19 Euros if he is to preserve his future at Barcelona.
