Luca Perez is expected to sign his first professional contract with FC Barcelona, with agreement already reached and only formal signing remaining. Signed from Damm in 2018, he has spent eight seasons at the club and has become one of La Masia’s most highly regarded defensive prospects. The 16-year-old centre-back is tall and physically strong, comfortable playing out from the back, and most effective as a natural defender. His strengths include marking, defensive security, and aerial ability, along with a threat in the opposition box during corners. He has also emerged as a dressing-room leader, playing regularly for the U-16 side and contributing goals while aiming for trophies.
"An agreement has been reached between all parties already and only the formal signing of the contract remains."
"Signed from Damm in 2018, Luca has now spent eight seasons wearing the Barcelona shirt and has developed into one of La Masia's most highly regarded defensive prospects. Tall and physically strong, the 16-year-old centre-back is also comfortable playing out from the back, but his strongest qualities are those of a natural defender. His greatest attributes include marking, defensive security and aerial ability."
"Moreover, he also poses a threat in the opposition box during corners, thanks to his instinct and ability to appear at important moments. At only 16 years old, Luca has already developed into a dressing-room leader. As such, within the club, he is regarded as a footballer with enormous potential."
"This season he has played 25 league matches, starting in 23 of them. He has also scored four goals and made his debut with Juvenil B (U-18). He and his teammates will host Sant Cugat at the Ciutat Esportiva this weekend in a single-match quarter-final of the U-16 Catalan Championship. The U-16 side is aiming to complete an excellent season by adding this title after already winning the league and claiming prestigious tournaments such as the MIC."
