"Last night was a special occasion for a certain Alvaro Cortes as he made his first-team debut for FC Barcelona, starting against Deportivo Alaves. The 21-year-old defender, who captained the reserve team, Barça Atletic, this season, had been knocking on the first-team doors for some time now, and finally got his chance."
"Indeed, according to SPORT, Farinas is attracting significant interest on the market and already has several offers on the table. And, Barcelona's sporting department would be open to a transfer. As per the report, the club value the La Masia product at around €3 million."
"Farinas began his career at hometown club CD Benicarlo before moving to Villarreal's academy, where he impressed during the 2018 edition of La Liga Promises. Barcelona quickly moved for him and brought him into the Infantil A side, despite him being a year younger than many of his teammates."
"Having risen through the ranks, the 20-year-old starlet has become virtually untouchable for Barça Atletic this term, even being named one of the captains under Juliano Belletti. Farinas initially played as an interior midfielder before gradually adapting into a deep-lying pivot, standing out for his vision, positional awareness and understanding"
