"The professional contract Tunkara is a major boost for Barcelona, especially when the club are struggling to keep hold of some of the top talents at La Masia. Dro's decision to leave the club had already rocked the Blaugrana earlier this month, while defensive prospect Andres Cuenca is now closing in on a move to Como as well. The agreement with Tunkara, therefore, could be integral, as the teenager is regarded as one of the most gifted talents at La Masia right now."
"An attacking midfielder by trade, Tunkara has already impressed the Barcelona coaches and recently made a huge step by joining Pol Planas' Juvenil A team directly. His physique, coupled with his technical abilities have made him an attractive talent for La Masia. The agreement with Tunkara will be ratified once the player turns 16 towards the end of the year. Until then, he is expected to continue his development under the leadership of Planas."
FC Barcelona has reached an agreement to retain 15-year-old Ebrima Tunkara, with the professional deal taking effect when he turns 16 later this year. The contract aims to keep one of La Masia's most gifted attacking midfield prospects amid departures of other youth talents like Pedro Fernandez 'Dro' and Andres Cuenca. Tunkara has progressed rapidly, joining Pol Planas' Juvenil A team directly and impressing coaches with his physique and technical abilities. The club expects Tunkara to remain patient and continue development under Planas until opportunities arise. The player is represented by agent Pini Zahavi.
