FC Barcelona Surprises: Their Next Winger Could Be in MLS

The winger 'casting' is more open than ever at FC Barcelona. The option of Rafael Leao seems distant for the culés today, as Liverpool has opened the exit door for Luis Díaz and Nico Williams continue to 'pluck the daisy'. However, aside from these big names, the Catalans are also closely monitoring young prospects who could become top-tier stars in the future.

In this regard, reports from the United States suggest that the blue and garnet entity is following the steps of the North American 'gem', Julian Hall. The forward, who will turn 17 on March 24, is one of the revelations of Major League Soccer, where he is starting to shine in the ranks of New York Red Bulls.

The Red Bull Factor 'threatens' Barça

Despite not having much experience in the American First Division, as he has only played 11 matches with the New York team, in which he celebrated two goals, the Catalans are reportedly very attentive to his development and are analyzing the option of signing him to perhaps gain experience first in Barça Atlètic or in another club on loan.

Hall, for now, holds the record of being the second youngest player to debut in MLS, a mark he achieved when he stepped onto the field against Chicago Fire at just 15 years old. With a market value of half a million euros, several European teams have him on their radar, and clubs like RB Salzburg or RB Leipzig, two teams from the Red Bull factory like his home club, appear as strong candidates to acquire him. For this reason, Barça will have to make a decision soon regarding the potential signing of the new 'jewel' of America.
