Hansi Flick invites exciting 18-year-old Barcelona youth defender to train with the first team – Report | OneFootball

There is always room at FC Barcelona for new emerging talents to make a name for themselves. While it is anything but an easy journey for any player, it is still a rewarding one nonetheless. Fortunately for Barcelona, they rarely find players who are willing to back down from the challenge.

Over the last few years, La Blaugrana have been lucky enough to see many of their first team’s current stars emerge from the youth teams. The likes of Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsi, Alejandro Balde, Marc Casado, and several others have made the first team their new home and have proven that they have what it takes.

However, that does not mean that there is not room for improvement or for more talents to emerge either. Young players continue to do their best in order to impress their coaches, and a certain young left-back seems to have accomplished that already.

As highlighted by SPORT, 18-year-old left-back Jofre Torrents was called up by Hansi Flick to train with the Barcelona first team. While this was an unusual training session, considering that most of the players available were from Barça Atletic due to most first team stars being away on international duty, it was still a big deal for a Juvenil player to be there.

However, it is not a surprise to see the kind of attention that Torrents is catching. Hailed as the best left-back in the Barcelona youth system right now, as highlighted in the report, he has gone from strength to strength and has been quickly climbing through the ranks since quite some time.

Already this week, the young fullback ended up making his debut for Barça Atletic as well. With such a big accomplishment already in the bag, it must be a completely perplexing occasion for him to see even Hansi Flick taking notice of his quality.

While a chance with the first team is quite unlikely for now, the youngster could end up having a bigger opportunity in the summer. SPORT reports that there is a possibility that the player could be included in Barça’s preseason plans following the conclusion of this season, and that could be a major opening for him.
