The FC Barcelona, in addition to keeping an eye on players to strengthen the first team, is also monitoring potential assets that could strengthen its youth categories. The blue and claret sports management keeps its radars active to identify some of the best young 'jewels' in the world, whose potential suggests that they could be future first-team pieces or generate income through a possible revalued transfer.
In this regard, it appears that Barcelona is closely following one of the best young 'pearls' from one of its main rivals in LaLiga EA Sports, Atlético de Madrid. According to the media outlet 'Relevo', the blue and claret team is interested in midfielder Luis Navarro, known as 'Curro', one of the great promises of the 'rojiblanca' academy who currently plays for the Cadete A.
The source suggests that 'Curro', who reportedly has rejected Real Madrid on more than one occasion, has been watched by Barcelona since his youth categories and is considered a player with the clear La Masía DNA, although his physique could be a point of debate. Despite this, it seems that the club is willing to explore the option of his incorporation, although it is understood that the situation will not be forced.
'Curro' doesn't seem to have intentions of leaving Atlético de Madrid soon
Now, apparently, 'Curro' has no intention of leaving Atlético de Madrid in the near future. It also seems that the 'colchoneros' intend to make him an offer once he turns 16 and can sign his first professional contract.
This proposal will have to be attractive enough to fend off the interest of other clubs, like Barcelona and Villarreal CF, who have also shown interest in signing 'Curro'. For now, it seems that Navarro is not interested in considering offers or signing contracts, preferring to focus on his studies and his career at Atlético de Madrid.
