A few days ago, according to Spain's "Fichajes", Barca are inspecting the talented winger Angelo Gabriel of Santos in Brazil, but because he will not turn 18 until the end of this year, Barca will grab him in the summer window, and then let him officially complete the transfer in the winter window.
Real Madrid's youngster Vinicius is now very eye-catching with Barca, who has scored 15 goals and 10 assists in 32 games this season, which is already a well-deserved "second shot" for Real Madrid, when Real Madrid bought the 17-year-old Vinicius for 45 million euros in 2017 and waited for him to land at the age of 18. Now, after more than three years of training, the 21-year-old Vinicius has been valued at 100 million euros, officially entering the ranks of La Liga's top superstars.
And Barca now want to replicate this model and cultivate their own young talents, and Laporta has his own goal, that is, 17-year-old Angelo Gabriel of Santos, Brazil. Born on 21 December 2004, Angelo is a left-footed genius who plays as a winger, dribbling and passing, and this season he has been promoted to the first team by Santos and wearing the number 11 shirt, which shows the importance the team attaches to the youngster.
Angelo was previously a regular visitor to Brazil's U16, but after the new crown epidemic, the youth echelon of various countries has been cut in a large area, especially in his age group, there are fewer games, so he does not participate in many national echelon games now, but the Brazilian media believes that with his ability and talent, it is still likely to be selected for higher level national teams. Santos fans also have high hopes for him, and he is also considered to be another Santos king genius after Pele, Robinho and Neymar.
Angelo's current valuation on the German "Transfer Market" website is as high as 10 million euros, and among the U17 players, the valuation is second only to Barca's Garvey and Borussia Dortmund's Mukoko, ranking third among the U17 geniuses. Even among the U18 players, his valuation is ranked 11th, which shows how optimistic he is.
According to reports, Barca have a budget of 35 million euros for Angelo, but considering that the genius is only 18 years old at the end of the year, Barca will not be able to sign him this summer, but they will buy out Angelo first and wait until the winter window next season to officially complete the transfer, Barca hope he can become the next Vinicius.
