The Premier League’s eyes are on Pau Cubarsí, the young Barcelona talent who is turning heads with his recent first-team appearances. Chelsea and Manchester United are among the clubs interested in signing the 17-year-old defender, who has shown impressive maturity in his game despite his young age.
Although Cubarsí extended his contract with Barça until 2026 last summer, his release clause of around 10 million euros makes him a tempting target for Premier League clubs. According to Mundo Deportivo, the young defender’s potential and performance so far have made him a sought-after asset in the transfer market in 2024.
The Premier League goes to Cubarsí
Chelsea, who had already tried to sign Cubarsí before his extension with Barcelona, remain keen to strengthen their defense, particularly given the impending departure of Thiago Silva at the end of the season. According to reports from ESPN, other top Premier League clubs alongside Chelsea are also keeping a close eye on the young centre-back.
Manchester United are now another team that has shown interest in Cubarsí, as mentioned in previous reports. With several Premier League clubs looking to improve their defence, competition to sign Barcelona’s young talent could heat up in the coming months.
