FC Barcelona: Win of the youth system

JamDav1982 · Tuesday at 1:09 PM

Bit of a fall from grace for Guille to be playing in Youth League v Chelsea.

Hasnt been good enough this season for Atletic in what minutes has played though.

Juan H, Toni, Tommy all been better than him.

Guille been by far the best player on park this 2nd half.

Could easily have had x3 assists.

Egyptian sources says our interest is real, but it is still "oral" one, no official offer.

Ahly understands that players at that age don't cost much but aiming for significant resale percent. (Egyptian clubs has historically demanded insane fees for their talents btw)

Seen him linked... feels like easiest way to get a young players name out there is to claim Barca or Real want them so take all these with pinch of salt.

Wasn't that in Pep era we had our entire starting lineup with la masia players at some games? And most of the time in big matches there were like 7-8 home grown ones.

No. Happened only once and under Tito, if I remember well.

@khaled_a_d Just read about this in Sport. Is this kid any good?

Folks here (Egypt) liked him in the U-17, I didn't manage to watch him tbh.

You never know at this age group, though. He was heavily linked to move to Germany (Stuttgart iirc) even before the tournament, so you can fairly say he has enough talent to go to European youth systems.

Not in Egypt though, and surely not Ahly tbf. They have even rejected real offer from Barca before for one of their talents (around 2000, current club president was vice president back then).

Mainly because they are stupid enough to think the talent will make it big and they can sell him for triple the price at 23, and because they are fairly wealthy too and don't need money for sale.

Early on it was coming from his agent, so I thought it was likely a bs, but not it is from the club, So interest is very likely real. Though, deal is likely far for now.
