Barcelona interested in 18-year-old Spanish midfield prospect - report | Barca Universal
"FC Barcelona have been active in the ongoing transfer window, but not to strengthen the first-team squad - with Joao Cancelo being the only signing. Instead, the focus has been on beefing up the reserve and youth team ranks, with a number of signings being made with an eye on the future. Hamza Abdelkarim is all set to sign from Al Ahly, while other talents, such as Ajay Tavares and Patricio Pacifico, are also expected to arrive."
"Now, according to AS, Barcelona also have their sights set on a possible move for Racing Santander midfielder Sergio Martinez. Indeed, the 18-year-old midfield prospect is on the radar of the Blaugrana as well as their La Liga rivals Villarreal. As per the report, both clubs are prepared to submit a loan offer with an option to buy to the Cantabrian club in order to place him with their reserve teams."
FC Barcelona have made only one first-team signing, Joao Cancelo, while concentrating on strengthening reserve and youth squads. Multiple youth and reserve signings include Hamza Abdelkarim from Al Ahly, with Ajay Tavares and Patricio Pacifico expected to arrive. Barcelona are tracking 18-year-old Racing Santander midfielder Sergio Martinez, who is also of interest to Villarreal. Both Spanish clubs may offer loan deals with an option to buy to place Martinez in their B teams. International clubs such as Hoffenheim, Red Bull Salzburg and Club Brugge are also interested. Martinez has ten first-team appearances and a contract until 2029 with a €3 million release clause.
