The teenager has rapidly become one of the most exciting prospects at La Masia and is now viewed as one of the brightest young players in his age group.

Notably, his performances at the Under-17 European Championship have only increased the attention surrounding him, with scouts from several major clubs closely monitoring his progress throughout the tournament.

The young defender has left a strong impression thanks to his powerful physical profile, technical quality and excellent left foot. 

Those attributes have helped him become a key figure for Spain at the ongoing Under-17 European Championship, where he has four assists to his name.

According to the report, representatives from Manchester City, Manchester United and Juventus have all attended Spain’s matches to closely assess the teenager. 

While several other highly-rated youngsters were also observed, Tunkara remains one of the names generating the greatest excitement.

Despite the growing interest, Barcelona remain calm about the situation, as the player wishes to continue his development with the Catalan club.

In fact, Barcelona have already accelerated several stages of his development, believing that he is capable of competing at levels above his age group. 

Although still eligible for cadet football, he has already featured for Barça Atlètic and his development has not gone unnoticed by Hansi Flick either.

The teenager has trained with the first team on multiple occasions, and reports indicate that the German coach intends to include him in the club’s pre-season plans this summer, which clearly means Barcelona intend to oversee his growth.
