Barcelona has made it a priority to keep a close watch out for young players who are on the verge of becoming stars all over the world. This allows the club to recruit these players at an early stage and assist them in becoming stars at the club.

It has resulted in the Blaugrana sending scouts to competitions such as the Copinha, which is held in Brazil, and the South American Olympic Qualifiers, which are currently taking place in Venezuela.

As of right now, Gabriel Sans of Mundo Deportivo is saying that Barcelona has also dispatched scouts to attend the Africa Cup of Nations 2024, which is currently taking place in Ivory Coast.

A number of well-known players, including Victor Osimhen, Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Riyad Mahrez, and Sofyan Amrabat, are set to compete in this event.

in the same time, there are a number of young players who are excited about the opportunity to build a name for themselves in the competition. And the article indicates that Barcelona is keeping an eye on a number of such prospects, with six names in particular being highlighted as being of great interest.

Senegalese musician Pape Matar Sarr

Due to the fact that he plays for both Tottenham Hotspur and Senegal on a regular basis, the 21-year-old midfielder is maybe the most well-known player on both teams.

At the club level, Sarr has had a successful season with Spurs, even achieving two goals and two assists in each of the 18 league games that he has played in. Two of Senegal’s matches at the African Cup of Nations have resulted in the midfielder providing an assist. On the other hand, his contract with Tottenham ends in the year 2030.

Ghana’s Ernest Nuamah (Name)

There have been a total of 21 games played by the forward, who is now on loan from RWD Molenbeek, a Belgian club, to Olympique Lyon. He has scored five goals and provided two assists during his time with the club. In addition to being a flexible operator, he has demonstrated a great deal of promise and can play anywhere along the frontline.

Despite this, Nuamah did not earn a significant amount of playing time during the African Cup of Nations (AFCON), as he only appeared in one of Ghana’s three matches. As a result, Ghana has been eliminated from the competition.

It is Yankuba Minteh from Gabon.

Yankuba Minteh, who is 19 years old and appears on the list, is another attacker who participated in the African Cup of Nations 2024. He played for Gambia in all three of their group games, although he did not score or assist on any of the goals that they played.

Minteh is presently playing for Feyenoord in the Dutch Eredivisie on loan from Newcastle United, a team that competes in the Premier League. In the 18 matches that he has played, he has scored four goals and assisted on two more. Already, a number of teams in England are keeping a close eye on him with much determination.

Ousmane Diomande, a defender who is 20 years old and will be representing the hosts at the Africa Cup of Nations 2024, is another talent that Barcelona and other teams are keeping an eye on.

The teenage center back is now playing for Sporting CP in Portugal, where he has been since January 2023, when he made the move from FC Midtjylland. As a result of his consistent performance for his club, he is currently on the radar of a number of different teams.

The people of Burkina Faso, Dango Ouattara

The Burkina Faso winger, who is 21 years old and plays for Bournemouth in the Premier League, has appeared in 14 matches so far this season but has not contributed to any goals on any of those occasions.

The fact that he plays in forward positions for his country is something that should be brought to your attention. However, throughout his time at Bournemouth, he has been used in the left back position on multiple times. Barcelona is trying to bolster this position during the summer transfer window.

a Nigerian man named Raphael Onyedika

Raphael Onyedika is a defensive midfielder by trade. He is a staple for the Belgian club Club Brugge, and he is gradually finding his way into the Nigerian national squad.

In addition to having a contract that extends until 2027, Onyedika is a muscular midfield enforcer who has played 32 times for his side this season and has scored a goal.
