Eight months ago that the FC Barcelona did one of the bets of face to the future with the signing of Emre Demir, the Turkish midfield player of the Kayserispor. With 18 years, the Barcelona saw in him a potential star, by what disbursed two million euros in his traspaso with a clause of rescission valued in 400 'kilos'. In principle, the idea is to incorporate him to the filial and that his progression carry him to the orders of Xavi Hernández.

The reports that handled the technical office desvelaban that his quality was undoubted, with good arrival and the touch of worthy balloon of a '10'. However, after a season in the Superliga of Turkey, the numbers that arrive to the offices on his performance are not at all hopeful. The mediocentro accumulated a total of 24' minutes of game in four commitments in all the championship, a statistics more than bochornosa.

His team occupied the fourteenth position in the general table and has enjoyed with less time on the field that Álvaro Sanz in the Barcelona, that added a total of 40' minutes on the lawn and that besides contested part of the friendly commitment in front of the 'All Stars' of the To-Tie of Australia. For the moment, the sportive direction is to the expectation that his bet give fruits once dress the elastic culé.

Demir Debuted in the first Turkish division to the 15 years in the campaign 2019/20. In his two first years played 29 parties, some figures more than admirable for a footballer that did not happen of the 16. Nevertheless, his decadence when arriving to the majority of age is alarming, and no only remits to level of clubs. With the Sub-19 of Turkey has been summoned in six opportunities but only has completed a meeting without register of goals or assistances. It remains for seeing if his level elevates in the Sportive City Joan Gamper, but the 'symptoms' do not launch any guarantee.
