"FC Barcelona have launched a strong push in the market to secure future talent in the ongoing transfer window. There has been significant movement at Barça Atletic, with several departures, and the club have already secured deals for defenders Patricio Pacifico and Juwensley Onstein, as well as forward Hamza Abdelkarim. Winger Ajay Tavares from Norwich City and Ruud Nijstad, a defender from FC Twente, are also expected to arrive."
"Indeed, according to SPORT, Barcelona could complete another youth signing in the form of Jesse Bisiwu, although the operation could be delayed until June. Bisiwu, a left-sided winger at Club Brugge, has impressed Barcelona's scouts as well as those from several clubs across Europe. The Belgian starlet stood out at the recent Under-17 World Cup in Qatar, and initial contacts were established at the beginning of December."
"However, the deal for Bisiwu is the most complicated of all the operations the Catalans are tying up this month. Firstly, he turned 18 on 22 January, meaning he could not sign before that date. Secondly, Club Brugge consider him the leading prospect in their academy and are demanding a transfer fee that reflects his potential. Barcelona attempted to structure the deal as a loan with a virtually mandatory option to buy, but this was not accepted."
FC Barcelona have intensified recruitment of youth prospects during the transfer window, registering arrivals and targeting additional talents. Several players departed Barça Atlètic, while defenders Patricio Pacifico and Juwensley Onstein and forward Hamza Abdelkarim have been signed. Winger Ajay Tavares and defender Ruud Nijstad are expected to join. Barcelona are in talks to sign Jesse Bisiwu, a left-sided winger from Club Brugge who impressed at the Under-17 World Cup. The Bisiwu operation is complex: he only turned 18 on 22 January, Club Brugge value him highly and rejected a loan-with-buy option. The youth department leads the deal and Deco is now involved, with confidence it may conclude now or in June.
