Another Brazilian 'gem' on FC Barcelona's radar: who is he?

Brazilian footballers have always been a weakness for Joan Laporta. After the failed bet on Vitor Roque, the president would be looking at another 'jewel' from the South American country, on the recommendation of Deco, who knows Brazilian football like few others. The azulgrana sports director has reportedly shown interest, according to 'AS', in Nicolas Bosshardt, a 17-year-old winger with very interesting potential at Sao Paulo.

This is Nicolas Bosshardt, a 17-year-old player with more than interesting potential in the paulista team. The kid has a release clause of 60 million euros, but his contract expires in 2026 and, for now, he has not shown interest in renewing with the paulista team. This season he scored 7 goals and provided 7 assists in 39 matches, alternating between left winger and attacking midfielder.

Deco, very attentive to the future of Nicolas Bosshardt

In this sense, he is a player with ideal characteristics to fit into Hansi Flick's system: quick in one-on-one situations, difficult to mark due to his mobility, and capable of covering more than one position. However, since he is a minor, he could only arrive in Barcelona once he reaches adulthood next summer.

Bosshardt has also earned a spot in the Brazilian U-17 national team and could easily fit as an alternative to Alejandro Balde, although he is a defender with much more offensive vocation than the azulgrana '3'. Other names that are being mentioned on the culé radar for that position are Nicolás Tagliafico and Caio Henrique, along with Álex Valle and Álvaro Carreras. For now, nothing is agreed with Bosshardt, but everything could change in 2025.
