Barcelona set to sign 16-year-old German wonderkid, deal done – Romano

Even as Barcelona continue to look for ways to strengthen their first-team roster, they are also beefing up their youth teams by roping in young talents with great potential.

Mikayil Faye has already arrived this summer to reinforce the Barça Atletic side while several other talents such as Trilli, Diego Percan, and Eman Kospo have also joined.

Now, according to Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona are set to land yet another youth prospect in the form of Noah Darvich from SC Freiburg in Germany.

Noah Darvich – a special talent

Darvich, 16, has been making waves in the German youth football scenes.

Having moved to the SC Freiburg youth academy in 2017, the versatile attacking midfielder has enjoyed swift progress through the ranks.

Darvich has impressed heavily for the German outfit’s Under-17 side, scoring nine goals and setting up five more in 23 appearances.

On the basis of his displays for the team, the youngster even broke into the club’s Under-19 setup, featuring three times last season, with his performances catching Barcelona’s attention.

Darvich’s contract with SC Freiburg was set to expire next year and Barcelona have swiftly acted to secure his services.

Romano claims that the deal is already done and has given his trademark ‘Here We Go!’ for the transfer.

Additionally, Gabriel Sans of Mundo Deportivo reports that Barça will pay €3 million plus variables for the teenage sensation.

Considered one of the most exciting talents in Germany, Darvich, who has five goals in 16 matches for Germany’s Under-17 side, will look to make an impact in the youth ranks at Barcelona, and follow in the footsteps of La Masia talent such as Lamine Yamal, Ansu Fati, and Gavi, among others.
