Barcelona Faces Talent Exodus Ahead of Summer

According to information from the Sport newspaper, the Spanish club Barcelona faced the loss of young talent from its youth team under 19 this summer. According to the newspaper, interest in the services of Arnaut Broadas is coming from Saudi Arabia, which has already happened with the captain of "Barsy" Atletikam, Unai Hernández, who recently moved to Al-Ittihad.

"Sport" noted that the absence of professional offers for La Masia stars from the first team opens doors for other clubs for their signing, as happened with Marc Guaié, who moved to Chelsea last summer for 6 million euros.

Barcelona risks losing three key players, including leading forward Arnaut Broadas, who recently scored in the Youth League semifinals against Aston Villa, bombing Ugo Alba (22 goals this season, two of them in the Cup final) and Jan Fergilli.

In addition to this trio, the contracts of Hektor Ranjel, Varionas, Adriana Jilya, Tomas Marques, Aleksandra Valton, Dani Ferrera, and Markus Barriego expire this summer, making them available for free transfer to any club of their choice.
