Barcelona make progress in pursuit of 18-year-old attacking prodigy amid widespread interest | Barca Universal
"Now, providing an update on the club's pursuit of Bisiwu, SPORT reports that Barcelona's idea is to make progress over the coming months and leave the operation well advanced in order to complete it in June. Nothing has been signed, but important steps have already been taken. Barcelona director Deco and head of scouting Joao Amaral travelled to Belgium last week to hold a meeting with the player's representatives."
"Meanwhile, Bisiwu's team, Club Brugge, acknowledge that they are aware of Barcelona's interest, although they stress that at no point have Deco or Amaral approached them directly to communicate a formal intention to sign the player. The Belgian club's position is clear. They will do everything possible to renew the teenager's contract and, in the event of a future sale, they will not make matters easy."
Barcelona signed three youth players in January—Juwensley Onsten, Hamza Abdelkarim, and Patricio Pacifico—who will join Barça Atlètic. Additional signings are expected, with Norwich youngster Ajay Tavares and FC Twente defender Ruud Nijstad anticipated to arrive. Club Brugge winger Jesse Bisiwu is a target and the club aims to progress the operation over the coming months to complete it in June. Deco and head of scouting Joao Amaral met Bisiwu's representatives in Belgium; sources close to the player confirm the meeting took place. Club Brugge acknowledges Barcelona's interest, plans to pursue a contract renewal, and says a future sale will not be easy. Bisiwu reportedly prioritizes the Barcelona project.
