"After being one step away from AC Milan, it looks like Barcelona are going to win the race to sign Juwensley Onstein from Genk. A saga has played out over the past few days regarding Onstein. Earlier in the week, it was reported that talks were advanced between Milan and Genk over his signing, and Matteo Moretto even said he was due in Italy on Thursday for a medical. He did not arrive, and Moretto went on to state that the deal had collapsed right at the point that the two clubs were exchanging documents to make everything official."
"Moretto reports on X: "Barcelona wants Juwensley Onstein, the Dutch central defender from Jong Genk. An agreement between the two clubs is close. The Spanish club firmly believe in the young player's qualities and wants to create a tailor-made development plan for him. Juwensley Onstein has already agreed to join Barcelona." Whether the deal with Milan fell apart because of Barcelona's entry into the race at the 11th hour is unknown at present. However, it seems that the 18-year-old is now heading for Catalunya, with Barca landing someone regarded to be one of the most interesting prospects in Dutch football."
