FC Barcelona continues to secure La Masia’s greatest talents. This week, the Catalan club formalized the signing of the first professional contract of Ahmed Abarkane, one of the most promising players of the 2010 generation according to Sport. Born in Olot and of Moroccan origin, the 16-year-old left-hander impresses internally with his extremely complete profile. Able to play in several positions, whether left back, winger or attacking midfielder, he stands out above all for his speed, his power and his technical quality with the ball. Arriving from Girona in 2024, he has already experienced his first minutes with the Blaugrana reserve this season.
Barça considers this extension as a real strategic investment for the future. Compared in certain aspects of the game to Alejandro Balde for his ability to break the lines, Ahmed Abarkane also has a versatility that is much appreciated within the club. His vertical and explosive profile brings a different dimension to an already very talented generation. Moroccan international at U15 before recently debuting with Spain U16, the young talent is already attracting a lot of attention in Catalonia, where many see him as one of the future faces of the Barcelona training center.
