Great news. Will he play tomorrow?

Not sure but with how he was celebrating the Copa victory in the video I saw, he looks perfectly fine.

Starts

 

[Barcaman]

MoM in Youth league final. Can play left, right center. Just promote him and we have a sub for Raphi and Lamine.

 

[jamrock]

He's better playing as a 10.

Olmo sub if anything

Whatever the case, think club needs to either promote him or move him on loan.
Could stagnate his progress otherwise.

I agree with that, maybe too soon though he's only been with the youth team 6 months or less, doesn't even speak the language.

Maybe another season acclimatizing would be beneficial.

 

[khaled_a_d]

I think more of being promoted mid-season, or getting few first team games here and there.

 

[FCBarca]

Still think it might be too early for him, barely even been at the club 6 months

 

[Andresito]

Just realized this guy is older than Yamal

 

[FCBarca]

He’s versatile so I am sure that Flick could find a use for him but I don’t think he’s truly a winger, more an 8 but love his motor and collective play

I guess it goes without saying he’ll be in the pre-season tour of Asia?

I see him as an Olmo, who played all over the place but settled as a 10 in 4231, if he makes it in senior football he will push Fermin (or Olmo if his injuries persists) out.

He is likely to be in preseason, but could depend on how Flick sees other kids, Toni and Guille are competing with him for this chance to show themselves, along Vigilli and Dani

 

[FCBarca]

You never know with these YT comps but he’s got something doesn’t he?

And I emphasize this, he’s barely been at the club so I think he has tremendous growth potential

If we don't sign a winger he'll probably get more chances at RW. Toni's situation is similar.

 

[BusiTheKing]

Found some good spaces and had an impact but didn't look above the competition in general ability. A lot of mistakes and sloppy play. At that level he should look a lot better if we want him to be in the conversation for first team minutes.

Certainly Toni is way ahead of him.

 

[Messi983]

Ideally he should stay and continue adapting to the club, establish in BA and get some first team minutes next year but with BA relegated don't know how much he'll really benefit playing at Segunda RFEF level. Similar for other top talents. Club will need to make some tough decisions this summer. Players who club see as first team potential should be loaned to play at a higher level. Worst thing we can do is give them a Fort treatment and promote to be basically just a number in the first team.
