Shane Kluivert, the last son of Patrick Kluivert who is driving FC Barcelona crazy!

For the Kluiverts, football is a family affair. The father, Patrick, left his indelible mark on history as an exceptional scorer, notably in the colors of Ajax Amsterdam and FC Barcelona. Far from being crushed by this glorious heritage, his descendants have brilliantly taken up the torch. His eldest sons, Justin and Ruben, are now enjoying very honorable careers across Europe, the first distinguishing himself on the wings of the Premier League at Bournemouth, while the second is making his way in the OL defense.

But another name of the siblings is starting to resonate with more and more insistence in Catalonia: Shane. The youngest member of the dynasty, aged 18, is standing out and proving that family talent has not skipped generations. Trained at the prestigious Masia, the young Dutch winger has had tremendous hopes since his arrival in Catalonia in 2017, following in the footsteps of his illustrious father. Lately, things are even speeding up for him.

Shane Kluivert will do summer preparation with FC Barcelona

Indeed, FC Barcelona is fully aware of holding a diamond in the rough and sees a great future in it. In this sense, his contract was extended a few months ago. Proof of the absolute confidence of the Catalan club in its jewel, the Dutch daily De Telegraaf reveals that Shane Kluivert has just reached a milestone by being officially integrated into the training of the Barça first team. This promotion to the professionals testifies to the potential considered exceptional of a player that the Barcelona leaders are nurturing with the greatest attention.

This integration into Hansi Flick’s group sounds like the start of a new era for the one who is labeled as a crack within the culé club. Twenty-two years after Patrick Kluivert’s last match in the Blaugrana jersey, seeing young Shane take to the pitch alongside Lamine Yamal and others arouses immense anticipation in Catalonia. Equipped with impactful speed and good technical quality according to scout reports, the 18-year-old talent is now in the ideal position to confirm all his talent in the eyes of the world.
