Barcelona have stolen a march on Real Madrid for a second time regarding a talent in the capital city. Their latest recruit is a 14-year-old who left Los Blancos earlier on, and will now join Barcelona in the summer.
After the Blaugrana beat Real Madrid to Marcos Parriego, Relevo report that talented left-footed winger Byron Mendoza will head to Catalonia this summer. They say he has plenty of quality, is good at linking up with teammates, and scores plenty of goals.
At Real Madrid as a kid, Mendoza was courted by Real Madrid too, as was the case with Parriego, but failed to persuade him to make the move. Mendoza lives alone with his grandfather in Fuenlabrada, and currently plays with Leganes. He wanted to move to academy housing at Valdebebas, but Real Madrid were reluctant, and Barcelona swooped in promising to meet their demands.
🚨 Barcelona consider Guille Fernández the most talented La Masia player after Lamine Yamal, and will shortly start renewal talks with him. There are a lot of clubs interested in the midfielder, who prioritises staying at Barça. @tjuanmarti pic.twitter.com/Hx1NGMhOEU

The Blaugrana have relied on the work of former player Jon Andoni Goikoetxea in order to recruit both Mendoza and Parriego, as they step up their efforts to sign young talents.
We got alot of young talents for the future & don’t need to fight for any much signings as we’re not in lack- neither do we put pressure to sign youngsters due to aboundant in our yard!
If we lost mendoza is cos we have no need for him. We got alot of young talents for the future & don’t need to fight for any much signings as we’re not in lack- neither do we put pressure to sign youngsters due to aboundant in our yard!
They havent stolen anything, RM merely found him not up to standards.
All of bribELonas purchases have been players that RM allows to be passed on, due to either low potential or we already have world class players on same position.
I RM really wanted him theyd get him ahead of cataIanimaIs. Examples are countless.
