The night of April 9 was one of the most exciting for Barcelona fans in recent years. Barça achieved a memorable 4-0 against Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. While the spotlight was on Lamine Yamal, Pedri, or Raphinha, there was also movement in the offices.
Joan Laporta, accompanied by Deco, closed a strategic operation that same day. A silent but key signing for the club's future. The player is already training with the first team, and his debut will be this Friday, April 12, against Leganés.

Flick Asked for Him Before the Champions League and Now He Has Him
Hansi Flick had been insisting on this profile for weeks. It wasn't a signing with media impact, but it was a bet with vision. Someone with Barça DNA, trained at home, and capable of providing verticality, calm, and vision between the lines.
The German coach has shown that he doesn't hesitate to promote young players to the first team. His goal is clear: rejuvenate the locker room, strengthen the rotation, and give real opportunities to future stars. Now he has a new gem under his command.

The Operation Is Completely Closed. The player signed his renewal weeks ago, but after the match against Dortmund, his incorporation into the first team has been made official. It is estimated that his current value is around one million euros, although his projection could skyrocket to 15M.
Barça Has Secured His Contract Until June 2027. A scalable clause based on objectives has also been included, thinking about his short-term explosion. The club doesn't want to lose another talent like in the past.

Debut Assured: It Will Be Against Leganés
Unless there is a last-minute change, Flick will give him minutes against Leganés. The coaching staff wants to take advantage of the team's good moment to integrate new profiles without pressure. The schedule allows it, and the opponent does too.
It Will Be His Official Debut in the League. A step that comes after several training sessions with the seniors and constant progression in the lower categories. The fans will be able to see him for the first time, and the club trusts that it will be the start of something great.
Raphinha and Lewandowski | @FCBarcelona
With This Addition, Barça Reinforces Its Message: La Masia Remains Key. In times when big signings are complicated due to the economy, looking inward is an obligation... and also an opportunity. This player represents that perfectly.
It is not just a sporting bet, but an institutional one. His profile fits with Barça's style, and his character has convinced everyone. Both Flick and Laporta are convinced that he can be important this season.

The Gem Debuting This Saturday
The player who has made the leap is Toni Fernández, a 16-year-old attacking midfielder trained at La Masia. An international with the U-17 and compared by many to Iniesta for his control and vision, he is Barça's new bet. Laporta considers him the next great talent in Spanish soccer.

Flick has blessed him with minutes, and his debut already has a date. This Friday, in Montjuïc, Toni Fernández will have his first big opportunity. Barça, perhaps, its next great idol.
