Barca's La Masia is about to be shaken

Hugo Alba is the youth team's top scorer.

La Masia is Barcelona's pride, having produced legends such as Lionel Messi, Xavi, Sergio Busquets, Andres Iniesta, Gerard Pique, Cesc Fabregas and recently Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi. However, according to Sport , the Catalan club is at risk of losing a number of young stars from the U19 team as their contracts are about to expire without any sign of renewal.

Among the players who could leave Barca, the most notable are Arnau Pradas, Hugo Alba and Jan Virgili. Hugo Alba is the top scorer in the youth team, while Pradas is highly rated and has even attracted interest from Saudi Arabian clubs. Notably, although Barca have the right to extend Virgili's contract for another year, this clause has not been activated.

In addition to the three names above, players like Jofre Torrents, Quim Junyent and Brian Farinas are also in the group with the potential to be promoted to the first team under Hansi Flick. Of course, they have not received contract offers yet.

Hector Rangel, Adrian Gill, Tomas Marques, Alexander Walton, Dani Ferrer and Marcos Parriego could also leave for free this summer, with sporting director Deco and academy chiefs Jose Ramon Alexanco and Toni Hernandez facing a tough task in keeping hold of the most promising young talents.

With Barca in a period of transition and with financial constraints, retaining young talent from La Masia could be key to the club’s future stability. But if they don’t act soon, they could lose a promising generation without any transfer fees.

Dembele's journey from the depths of Barca to the top of PSG Dembélé was once doubted because of injuries and inconsistent form. But now, he shines brightly at PSG, becoming one of the best players in the world .
