FC Barcelona is already in panic because of Ebrima Tunkara

The FC Barcelona Masia is, clearly, the most productive and efficient training center in Europe today. And the club’s first team clearly benefits from this, with players like Pau Cubarsi, Gavi, Fermin Lopez or Lamine Yamal, among others, while other players from the Barcelona academy like Marc Cucurella (Chelsea), Nico Gonzalez (Manchester City) or Alejandro Grimaldo (Leverkusen). And in the coming years, new gems from La Masia should be revealed to the general public.

This is the case of Ebrima Tunkara for example, an attacking midfielder who celebrated his 16th birthday in March. A name already well known in Catalonia, even though he has never played for the first team. This season, he also played his first matches with the Barça B team, and there is a strong possibility that he will do the pre-season with the A, under the orders of Hansi Flick. A left-handed attacking midfielder, he is often compared to Lamine Yamal, but his style of play is more like that of Yaya Touré for example, being a rather central midfielder, with a disconcerting ease in breaking lines and projecting himself towards the surface.

All of Europe wants it

The Catalan press also mentions a particularly professional and mature young person. As indicated A.S.the player’s qualities do not go unnoticed in Europe and many clubs already want to snatch him from Barça. Manchester City, Manchester United as well as Juventus, among others, have already checked his name on their list, and could offer considerable emoluments to the Spanish U17 international, who is also competing in the Euro in the category with La Rojita, stringing together high-level performances.

Under contract until 2029, the main person concerned has no intention of leaving for the moment, wishing to follow in the footsteps of Lamine Yamal and Gavi. But very interesting offers should arrive, while in recent years, many clubs have already come to use the ranks of La Masia. To be continued…
