Barcelona has managed to focus on nurturing domestic talents, which has proven to be successful. One of their preferred hunting grounds is Las Palmas, as they previously signed Pedri and are now reportedly interested in signing Alberto Moleiro and Elias Romero
Barcelona FC’s youth recruitment strategy has been impressive in recent years, with a particular focus on nurturing home-grown talent. While they may have missed out on a few young prospects, the Blaugrana have proven their commitment to promoting young domestic players.
Las Palmas has emerged as a particularly fruitful source for Barcelona’s youth recruitment, having previously sold Pedri to the Catalonian giants. The Blaugrana now have their sights set on another young prodigy from the Canary Islands, Alberto Moleiro, according to reports.
But it doesn’t stop there. SPORT reports that Elias Romero, a standout player in Las Palmas’ U-19 setup, has also caught Barcelona’s attention. The 18-year-old striker has been in sensational form this season, scoring 14 goals in 21 matches and earning a reputation as one of the most talented players in Las Palmas’ youth academy.
With such impressive performances, it’s no surprise that Barcelona are keen to secure the services of Elias Romero. In fact, reports suggest that the club is already looking for ways to integrate the young striker into their team at Camp Nou for the upcoming season.
This news comes amid speculation that Barcelona is in search of a long-term replacement for star striker Robert Lewandowski. Vitor Roque is rumored to be one of the top targets, with a potential move to Camp Nou in the summer on the cards.
Barcelona’s recruitment drive for young, talented players appears to be in full swing, and the prospect of Elias Romero joining the team is an exciting one for fans of the Blaugrana.
Only time will tell if Romero can make the step up to top-flight football, but Barcelona’s track record for developing young talent suggests that he could be in good hands if he does indeed make the move to Camp Nou.
