"The idea is simple but strict, as every young arrival will be assessed over time, with their performances, mentality, and tactical growth closely monitored. Only those who prove they are ready at the required level will be given a pathway towards the senior squad. The objective is to avoid rushed promotions and ensure that each step in the development ladder is earned."
"Barcelona's move for Pacifico was not rushed, as the club had tracked him for nearly two years, with a particularly close six-month spell in which his matches were followed almost live. The final agreement was structured as a loan with an option to buy 80% of his rights, with a maximum payment of €3.8 million. If he develops as expected, the deal could prove to be a bargain."
Barcelona developed a structured evaluation process to monitor new B-team signings before considering them for first-team opportunities. Every young arrival will be assessed over time on performances, mentality and tactical growth, with promotions only for those who prove readiness at the required level. The objective is to avoid rushed promotions and ensure each step in the development ladder is earned. Recent additions include Patricio Pacifico, Hamza Abdelkarim and Juwensley Onstein; progress to the first team will depend entirely on performance. Pacifico was tracked for nearly two years and signed on loan with an option to buy 80% of his rights for up to €3.8 million. Abdelkarim expressed his ambition to play for the first team.
