Why Barcelona could lose TEN academy stars for nothing this summer in major boost to one Premier League club

Why Barcelona could lose TEN academy stars for nothing this summer in major boost to one Premier League club

More off-the-field problems for Barcelona to deal with.

Barcelona could lose a staggering 10 academy stars this summer, a sensational new report has claimed.

Hansi Flick's side are currently in the Champions League quarter-finals and are top of La Liga ahead of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

Off the field, there have been significant dramas, with the club's bid to register £60 million signing Dani Olmo for the second half of the season rejected by a Spanish court.

Les Cules did eventually reach a resolution and Olmo has played fixtures, but the situation effectively prevented Barca from doing any significant business in January.

In recent years, Barcelona have continued their policy of promoting youth players, with Pau Cubarsi, Gavi, Lamine Yamal and Marc Casado all becoming first team regulars among others.

But the next crop of talents from La Masia may be forced to leave for nothing this summer - with Barca receiving only certain types of compensation via FIFA rules.

According to Spanish outlet Sport, up to 10 players could leave on a free transfer at the end of June.

Winger Arnau Pradas is said to be a particularly 'troublesome' case, as he has attracted interest from Saudi Arabia.

U19 top scorer Hugo Alba, midfielder Adrian Gill and right-back Tomas Marques are among the other top talents out of contract.

And Jofre Torrents, Quim Junyent and Brian Farinas are reportedly all seen to have the potential to step up to the first team.

Gill has represented the United States at youth level and has stated that he hopes to play for the senior team at the 2026 World Cup.

Barca have, at this stage, made 'little' moves to attempt to tie down their talent to new contracts - although the situation is not linked to their ongoing financial issues.

In October, Premier League club Arsenal were linked with making a move for Pradas, who is seen as one of the world's top talents at his age group.

Mikel Arteta, who himself represented Barca as a junior player, is keen to sign the 18-year-old winger, who can play on both sides and has been quoted as having a 'futsal-like technique' when running with the ball.
