Barca moving to sign a young Mexican starlet
FC Barcelona are interested in signing Heriberto Jurado, a promising young Mexican winger, to reinforce their reserve team. According to the newspaper 'Marca', the club's sporting management is keeping a close eye on the situation of the left winger, who has already played 44 games for the first team of Club Necaxa and has played in all the youth teams of his national team despite being only 18 years old.
The Athletic', in fact, adds to this information that Barça has already made a formal offer to Necaxa for Jurado. According to this media, the culé entity has proposed a transfer with an option to buy for 10 million euros at the end of the season. The intention of the Catalan technical secretariat is that Heriberto will be signed with Barça Atlètic and, if his progress is satisfactory, he will be promoted to the first team.
Barça are not the only team to have their eye on Heriberto Jurado: FC Porto and Sporting of Portugal are also monitoring the young Mexican player, who has a market value of one million euros according to 'Transfermarkt' and stands out for his good one on one and unbalanced play in the final metres. The arrival of the promising attacker at the Estadi Johan Cruyff, however, will be linked to the delicate economic situation of the Barcelona club.
