"Although there are more interested clubs, Barcelona and Real Madrid have taken the lead and have already made an offer to Racing for the services of the 18-year-old midfielder. Initially, the idea of both clubs is to take him on loan until 30 June to their respective reserve teams and to include an option to buy, although they are also open to the possibility of a permanent transfer for the Racing academy product."
"FC Barcelona have been very aggressive in their pursuit of young talents with potential in the ongoing January transfer window. The Blaugrana are all set to sign as many as four youth prospects with an eye on the future - with Hamza Abdelkarim, Juwensley Onstein, Patricio Pacifico, and Ajay Tavares expected to arrive imminently. A deal for Ruud Nijstad of FC Twente is also in the works, while the Catalans have an eye on young midfielder Sergio Martinez of Racing Santander."
FC Barcelona are signing up to four youth prospects in January — Hamza Abdelkarim, Juwensley Onstein, Patricio Pacifico and Ajay Tavares — with Ruud Nijstad also targeted from FC Twente. Barcelona and Real Madrid have made offers to Racing Santander for 18-year-old midfielder Sergio Martinez, with both sides preferring loan deals until 30 June for their reserve teams including an option to buy, though permanent transfers remain possible. Barcelona's reserve team, Barça Atletic, coached by Juliano Belletti, compete in the Segunda RFEF and seek promotion, prompting a squad strengthening push amid departures. Martinez impressed in pre-season but returned to Racing's reserves recently.
