The explosion of Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsí has shown that young talent continues to make a difference. Fermin, Balde, and Marc Casadó have joined them as examples of the success of a well-developed foundation.
Hansi Flick has trusted the young players coming from La Masia with ambition and quality from day one. The German coach has found real solutions in big matches in them, regardless of their age. This is why the sporting management continues to focus its strategy on strengthening the talent that grows from within.
Signing youth is also part of the plan
Not all of La Masia's talent is born in Sant Joan Despí; some is also detected outside. Barça has shown they know how to find gems in other clubs, as happened with Pedri in his day. That same formula is once again in motion with two new signings that are already very advanced.
Deco has prioritized this type of signing to strengthen the club's immediate future without major investments. Both players are 16 years old and stand out for their technical quality and maturity in game situations. Their arrival won't just be a bet, but a development strategy that could bear fruit very soon.
A classy Danish midfielder
The first of them is a Danish midfielder with great ability to organize and read the game from the back. This is Mikkel Bro Hansen, who has been followed by Barça's scouts over the past few months with positive reports.
He has a precise left foot, panoramic vision of the field, and tactical intelligence far beyond his age. Hansen is known for his calm under pressure, something that fits perfectly with the blaugrana style.
He has great ease in threading passes between the lines and always chooses the best option in every play. His profile is reminiscent of a modern pivot, capable of starting plays and recovering balls quietly.
A French striker with Moroccan roots
The second name on the list is Abdellah Ouazane, a prospect coming from French soccer. He is an electric striker, skillful with the ball and very accurate in finishing areas inside the box.
Deco has already started talks to finalize his signing as soon as possible and avoid competition from other clubs. Ouazane combines speed, dribbling, and a good eye for goal, ideal for a dynamic attacking system.
He has that mix of boldness and effectiveness that Barça values so much in their wingers or second strikers. The idea is for him to complete his development at La Masia before making the leap to the first team.
Flick wants to observe them closely
Both players have the type of profile Flick wants to see up close during the first weeks of preseason. If they show attitude, tactical adaptation, and commitment, they could even train with the professional group on a temporary basis.
The coach considers it key to involve the young players from the start of the season to facilitate their future integration.
Barça, meanwhile, continues to bet on building from within, with smart signings and a long-term vision. Mikkel Bro Hansen and Abdellah Ouazane are already in the blaugrana orbit as the club's next gems. La Masia is more alive than ever, and the sporting project is once again looking to the future with optimism.
