The FC Barcelona is in a process of economic crisis, despite the good results of the first team. That is why, a priori, he will not be able to undertake large-scale signings in the next transfer market. Therefore, and as reported Sports worldthe scout services of the Blaugrana team have cast their nets over Zubieta, Real Sociedad’s quarry, and have been interested in Benat Turrientes20-year-old midfielder and Jon Karrikaburu19-year-old striker.
Although both players have a record from the Donostiarra subsidiary, Beñat Turrientes has already played a whopping 8 games with the first team in the league, one of them as a starter, and has already made his debut in European competition, in which he has enjoyed minutes in 4 games , none of them as a starter. Karrikaburu, for his part, has yet to make his debut with Real Sociedad’s first team in the league, although he did make it in the Europa League group stage match at home against Monaco (1-1).
The foundations of the Barça of the future.
FC Barcelona wants to cement its future with young players such as Karrikaburu and Turrientes.
