Operation pivot! Xavi will evaluate Casadó, Bernal and Pau Prim in the preseason

The FC Barcelona is to the expectation of the options that has to reinforce a key position in the terrain of game: the zone of mediocentros defensive. In this sense, seems that the priority is to bring a player 'top' that it can contribute hierarchy to this square, as Martín Zubimendi or Joshua Kimmich. However, the club is conscious that in The Masia have talent to give opportunities and complement this demarcation, where need to have at least two good footballers.

In front of this, as it informed in 'SPORT', Xavi Hernández, valuing the stood out performances of the young players from The Masia, no descartaría carry to the pre-season 2024/25 to the three projects of pivote that more have stood out in the laureada quarry culé and that he has been following during all the season: Marc Casadó (20), Marc Bernal (16) and Pau Prim (18). The idea is that at least two of them work beside the egarense during all the summer.

1. Marc Casadó

One of the most known names is the one of Marc Casadó, current captain of the Barça Atlètic, the one who has had the opportunity to play in several commitments with the first team, specifically in five: three in the UEFA Champions League (one in the season 2022/23 and two in the 2023/24) and two in LaLiga EA Sports 2023/24. Besides, from the past course, has been summoned with regularity for the Barcelona cast, except when it needs him to reinforce to the filial, where is one of the pillars of the square Rafa Márquez.

The native of Sant Pere of Vilamajor, already has participated in two pre-seasons with the first team and stands out by his competitive profile, showing an intense game that balances the attack and the defence. To his time, has showed can be a polyvalent piece in the field, being able to exert also like right side.

2. Marc Bernal

The second name in question is Marc Bernal, the more youngster of the three. In this course, has positioned like one of the most interesting players of the Barça Atlètic. In spite of his short age, stands out by his physicist imponente, since it measures 1,91 metres, which combines with a big physical power and capacity of route that allows him cover a lot of terrain.

In addition to standing out in defence, the native of Berga also knows to involve in the offensive game. It is innegable his capacity to arrive to positions of goal with ease and also has a good finish with the left leg.

3. Pau Prim

To close, in this equation, appears the name of Pau Prim, whose performances this season have oscillated between the Juvenile To and the Barça Atlètic, even becoming summoned in an occasion by the first team. The Barcelonan is a mediocentro whose main fortress does not reside in his physicist, but in his tactical intelligence, which turns it into a favourable player to handle the game of his team from the base of the medullary zone, in the role of positional pivote. This profile seems to be of the like of Xavi Hernández.
