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.
In said list also appears the name of Kylian Mbappé, without place to doubts the big favourite to carry the prize. In the next years, the Frenchman has it everything for suceder the throne of Leo Messi like better player of the planet. Has hardly 19 years but, in spite of his short age, has turned into the big offensive reference of the French selection and also in the big star of Paris Saint-Germain beside Neymar.
Besides, the big paper of Mbappé in the World-wide of Russia offers him all the necessary ingredients to turn into the Golden Boy of this year. The French has all the virtues that a forward dreams to have and his career does not seem to have ceiling. It is triumphing in spite of his short age and is question of time that win the Balloon of Gold.
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. In this sense, the Txingurri prefers to do without players with more experience like André Gomes to do him hollow to the midfield player of Mataró. A player with technician, last pass and arrival to the area has to have an opportunity with the first team.
