Barcelona Makes Manchester United Dizzy, Arranges Strategy to Grab Wonderkid

Liputan6.com, Jakarta- LALIGA champion Barcelona will trouble Manchester United in the 2023 summer transfer market. The Blaugrana are reportedly planning to hijack one of MU’s wonderkids, namely right-back Marc Jurado Gomez.

The 19-year-old player is actually a Barcelona player. Jurado spent nine years at Barcelona’s academy, La Masia. In the summer of 2020, Jurado was hijacked by MU. MU’s temptation at that time made him reject the offer of a contract extension from Barcelona.

Jurado was placed in the MU junior team. Jurado’s development at Old Trafford is quite significant. In April, Jurado was included in the list of reserve players for the main squad for MU following the injuries to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia. Jurado sat on the bench for MU’s first team against Nottingham Forest in the English Premier League.

Jurado’s significant development has made Barcelona tempted to recruit him again. Quoted from Tribal Football, coach of the Barca Athletic team, Rafael Marquez really wanted to bring Jurado home. Marquez promised that Jurado would have the opportunity to be immediately promoted to the Barcelona senior team.

Coincidentally, the Barcelona first team really needs a new right-back. Last season Barca used Jules Kounde more often as a right-back. Even though the original position of the defender from France was actually a center back.

The absence of a permanent right-back in the Barcelona main team could accelerate Marc Jurado’s promotion to the main team if he accepts the proposal to join Marquez in the Athletic team.
