Barcelona’s La Masia is one of the best academies in world football, and whilst ours is getting better and better, we should take the chance to nab any of their top talent if it becomes available.
According to reports in Spanish paper Sport tonight (cited and translated in the Express), we have sent scouts to the Catalan club to look at four of their players.
The four in question are 21-year-old centre back Marlon, 22-year-old full-back Nili Perdomo, 21-year-old striker Marc Cardona, and 20-year-old midfielder Wilfrid Kaptoum. Only Kaptoum has played for the Barcelona first team when he featured against Leverkusen is last season’s Champions League.
