There are some changes happening in FC Barcelona’s youth football program that might not always catch the eye, but they could have a big impact on the future of the main team. With young talents like Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsí making early debuts, we might not have to wait too long to see the results. One such talent is Pedro Rodríguez, a 16-year-old midfielder from Ogíjares (Granada), who just signed with Barça’s youth team this Tuesday, turning down offers from other big European clubs.
Just as Joan Laporta, the president of FC Barcelona, was praising the talent in the youth team in an interview, one of the stars, Pedro Rodríguez, was signing his contract alongside the team manager Joan Soler and the director of Youth Football, José Ramon Alexanco.
A member of the Under-17 International team, Pedro has skills like touch, power, quality, and leadership. He has been moving up the ranks quickly, playing for both Cadet A and Juvenil B, and is now expected to join the Juvenil A squad. He is considered one of the top talents at La Masia, having joined the club in 2019 at a young age.
Another 16-year-old midfielder, Adam Argemí from Barcelona, also signed on Tuesday. He is another player expected to grow and develop in the youth system.
