Barcelona future is promising based on emerging young talent

Barcelona has been known for producing world class players from their famous youth soccer academy, La Masia. With some games in which Barça have started the match with all 11 players coming from their famed youth academy.

The Catalans future still seems as bright as ever, and the production line of youth talent has already produced some very promising players.

Barcelona B, a squad made up completely of youth academy players, had an incredible season last year and managed to finish 3rd in the Segunda division.

During the preseason, Barca have showcased these players in order to give them some playing time in the first team. They certainly didn't disappoint and will likely give Luis Enrique some headaches when he decides his starting eleven and will also look to ease some of these players into the first team and give them as much time as possible.

Denis Suarez and Gerard Deulofeu have left the Camp Nou on loan to Sevilla in order to get some first team experience along with 23-year-old Cristian Tello also went out on loan to FC Porto. The loan attempts to give the players the opportunity to gain some much needed experience on the field rather than watching from the bench.

Munir el Haddadi is another exciting prospect coming from the La Masia production line. The 18-year-old forward is currently Barca's leading goalscorer in preseason, managing to notch four goals.

The list of talented youth coming from Barça soccer academy are Adama Traores, Sergi Samper, Alen Halilovic, other more defensive players such as Edgar Ie, Bagnack and Grimaldo all have incredibly bright futures and will all likely have stints with the first team.

It will be an interesting season for Barcelona, as the newly renovated squad will look to reinstate their European dominance and it will also be interesting to see whether the transfer ban will be imposed on the Blaugrana. One things for sure however, the future is very bright for Barcelona and their youngsters.
