Barcelona teenage forward attracting interest from Bundesliga heavyweights

Angel Alarcon, who has been regarded as one of the most promising players from the Barcelona academy in recent seasons, has recently attracted the attention of teams from Europe and outside.

With his ability to play anywhere on the frontline, the Spaniard fuses the strength and explosiveness of a winger with the placement and instincts of a center-forward.

Now, as per MARCA German side RB Leipzig have shown interest in Alarcon, with the player perceived as a solid fit for their play style.

Indeed, Alarcon is the attacking profile that Leipzig are looking for; the Red Bull sporting department has been surveying the Barça forward for some time and are keeping an eye on his situation in the short and medium term.

Alarcon has moved past his injuries and is once again making his way, with Xavi having already given him his debut in the last season.

Most recently, the youngster featured in the squad list against Royal Antwerp and played some minutes against Mexican side Club America in Dallas.

Before Christmas, the teenage sensation scored in a 1-1 draw against Ponferradina with Rafa Marquez’s Barça Atletic side.

Over the past year, he has matured by experiencing all facets of the sport, including goals with the Spanish Under-19 team, his first-team debut with Barça, and overcoming injuries that he has used as an opportunity to strengthen his body and mind.

While Barcelona renewed the 19-year-old’s contract until 2025 and the club maintains high expectations of him, if European powerhouses come calling, it will be tough to ward them off. And Leipzig’s interest is sure to worry the Blaugrana hierarchy.
