He's already a regular fixture for club and country, at the tender age of 18, but is likely to be an outsider for the award as they are rarely handed out to defenders."
Pau Cubarsi, an 18-year-old Barcelona defender, has been shortlisted for the 2025 Golden Boy award and is the only eligible Barcelona player. Lamine Yamal cannot be nominated while he holds the award. The shortlist includes emerging talents from top European clubs across multiple positions, plus five additional wild-card nominees. Cubarsi earned nomination after winning La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup last season. He is already a regular for club and country, but defenders seldom win the Golden Boy, making him a likely underdog despite strong domestic success.
