Carles Aleñá has turned into the last years in the big referent of the quarry of the FC Barcelona. The Catalan midfield player carries several seasons triumphing in the inferior categories of the Catalan club and, in the next season, is very likely that have a gap in the first team, since it likes a lot to Ernesto Valverde.

The proof and the talent of Aleñá -that finds recovering of a grave injury- have situated to the Catalan midfield player between the 100 applicants to the Golden Boy, the prize that distinguishes to the best player of world of less than 21 years of the past season. The Italian magazine Tuttosport has made public the list.

Aleñá, centred in the Barça

The presence of Kylian Mbappé does very complicated that Aleñá can litigate for being the new Golden Boy. However, his possibilities of progression are very important, especially if they fulfil the terms of recovery stipulated by his injury. If they fulfil , it could go back to play in October.

There is not place to doubts that what Ernesto Valverde has seen of Carles Aleñá has liked him.
