Barcelona’s renowned La Masia academy has produced yet another jewel, and it has been discovered in the form of Pau Cubarsi.” Even though he is only 17 years old, the center back is already a regular under Xavi. On Tuesday, when he made his debut in the UEFA Champions League against Napoli, he even put on a display that earned him the title of Man of the Match.
The adolescent defender is getting ready to receive his first call-up to the Spanish national team, so it is only natural that his explosive performance has not gone ignored.
At the same time, clubs from outside the area are beginning to look at the youthful prodigy with envy and admiration.
Arsenal, City, United, Chelsea all interested
According to SPORT, Cubarsi is getting interest from as many as four Premier League bigwigs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Manchester United. In addition, Cubarsi is reportedly being considered by Manchester United.
Despite the fact that the 17-year-old’s current contract with Barcelona is valid until 2026, it only has a release clause of ten million euros, which has caused the Premier League clubs mentioned above to become aware of the situation.
It has been reported in the past that Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, is a great admirer of him. Manchester City has previously conducted scouting efforts for him.
While this is going on, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea are all keeping a close eye on his movements. Additionally, the Blues had shown interest in Cubarsi in the past, as they attempted to sign him before to his renewal in the previous year.

Therefore, it will be challenging for all of the clubs mentioned above to get Cubarsi’s services because Cubarsi has only ever dreamed of achieving success at Barcelona.
As of right now, the young man, who is only 17 years old, is living out his ambition of playing for the Catalans’ first squad. Because of this, he does not consider anything else other than becoming an important member of the squad that he feels most passionate about.
In addition, Barcelona has already informed the player’s representatives that they intend to improve the terms of his contract that he is now under.
On the basis of the fact that the two sides have a solid understanding of one another, it does not appear to be difficult for them to come to an agreement once they sit down to talk about it. Consequently, in spite of the fact that a number of the most prestigious English clubs have expressed interest in Cubarsi, Barcelona has nothing to be concerned about in this regard.
