Promising Barcelona Attacking Talent: Xavi and Deco Praise Exceptional 17-Year-Old Prospect

Xavi Hernandez, since assuming control of Barcelona, has provided young talents from the club’s ranks with opportunities.

During Xavi’s tenure, players like Lamine Yamal, Fermin Lopez, Marc Casado, Angel Alarcon, and Aleix Garrido have made their debuts for the Catalans.

Furthermore, in today’s match against Granada at Los Carmenes, two promising forwards named Pau Victor and Marc Guiu have been called up to the squad.

Xavi and Deco’s Interest in Marc Guiu

According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez and sporting director Deco hold a great admiration for Marc Guiu and consider him highly talented.

Guiu, who is 17 years old, has already experienced playing for the first team in a friendly against Vissel Kobe earlier this year.

During that match, Guiu, who has been with Barcelona since the age of seven, played the entire second half and almost scored a header.

Both Xavi and Deco have been closely observing Guiu’s progress, with Deco taking notice even before assuming his role as the director at Barcelona. He witnessed Guiu’s performances for the club’s youth teams and the Spanish Under-17 national team, where Guiu contributed four goals to help his team reach the semi-finals.

Guiu’s Abilities

Guiu, a strong and tall forward, excels in aerial play and showcases excellent finishing skills, making him a dangerous threat in the penalty box.

This season, the 17-year-old has recorded five goals for Juvenil A, with four goals in the league competition and one in the UEFA Youth League.

We eagerly anticipate the possibility of him receiving an opportunity tonight.
