Official: Highly-regarded Barcelona youngster leaves in permanent deal | OneFootball

La Liga champions Barcelona have this week bid farewell to an altogether highly-regarded member of the club’s youth ranks.

The player in question? Eman Košpo.

Stopper Košpo is for his part fresh off a starring campaign with Barcelona’s U19s, which saw the Swiss play a leading role in an eventual treble.

Košpo is considered one of the standout up-and-coming talents in Catalunya’s capital, long hailed for his abilities on both sides of the ball.

It therefore came as a major surprise when word was forthcoming over recent days that, out of the blue, the 18-year-old was on the verge of moving on.

News of as much did not go down at all well with those of a Barca persuasion, aware of Košpo’s significant potential.

But as alluded to above, this has not stopped the two parties, this week, from parting ways.

As confirmed by way of a series of posts across the social media platforms of Serie A outfit Fiorentina, Košpo has taken his talents to Florence for the seasons ahead:
