Barcelona are always looking to strengthen the pool of promising young players that exists at La Masia, and in the last couple of seasons, it’s clear that they will have first team opportunities if they impress in the youth categories. Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsi, Fermin Lopez and Hector Fort have made the step up in the last 12 months, and another player that will hope to do so in the coming years is Gorka Buil.
Buil, 14, has been with Real Zaragoza in recent years, but he will make the move to Barcelona imminently, as reported by El Periodico. He’s already announced that he’s departing Zaragoza, and the Catalan capital will be his destination.
Buil is regarded as a top talent, and Barcelona rate him very highly too. He’s a left-footed attacking midfielder that can also play on the right wing, and he’s a current Spanish youth international at U14 level. He’s expected to join the U17 side at La Masia upon his arrival this summer.
