Barcelona new signing poised to make his debut for youth team today | OneFootball

Among the various reinforcements that joined Barça Atletic during the winter transfer window, Jewensley Onstein stands out as the only player for whom the club made a direct financial investment.

The 18-year-old Dutch centre-back represents a significant bet by the sporting management led by Deco, as his profile perfectly matches the club’s defensive requirements.

Standing at nearly 1.90 meters, Onstein is noted for being a fast and powerful left-footed defender who is exceptionally strong in individual duels.

Barcelona’s roadmap for Onstein

Despite his physical advantages, the defender arrives following a period of significant inactivity, having not played a match since October.

To address this, the club have implemented a specific roadmap designed to help him recover his competitive rhythm through a logical and gradual process, reports Diario SPORT.

Jewensley Onstein is set to make his debut in a Barcelona shirt today as part of Pol Planas’ Juvenil A squad.

He has been included in the list for the match against Sant Cugat at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, where he is expected to play his first minutes.

While his debut is highly anticipated, the technical staff will make the final decision on his participation based on the specific flow of the game.

The club hold high hopes for the youngster, whose background at Ajax helps him adapt quickly to Barcelona’s distinct philosophy.

Having previously belonged to Genk before this move, Onstein is viewed as a long-term prospect who could be ready for Barça Atletic in just a couple of weeks.

For now, today’s youth fixture serves as the essential first step in integrating this powerful bet into the Blaugrana ecosystem.
