Barça sign Villarreal's academy starlet Brian Fariñas
Fariñas, one of Villarreal's top academy stars, has signed a deal with Barcelona to play with their Infantil A side next season
A lot of the people who follow youth football at Barcelona are waiting for the announcements regarding the club's new signings. Like every summer, Barça sign young talents from outside of the Catalunya region with the objective being to increase the potential of La Masia. One of the new signings for this summer can now be announced and that's Brian Fariñas, a midfielder who joins from Villarreal.
Fariñas was one of the most promising talents at Villarreal's excellent youth academy. The midfielder has huge potential and he showed that in the Liga Promises tournament which took place in June. It was there where Barcelona, who were already keeping tabs on him, fell in love with Fariñas' style of play. After a few meetings a deal was made for the youngster to join Barça.
Brian has already signed a four-year contract and will live at La Masia. If there aren't any changes in the next few weeks, Fariñas will form part of Alex Urrestarazu's Infantil A squad. As such, he'll play alongside players who are a year older than him. A good chance for Fariñas to prove his quality.
Brian won't be the only player who'll join La Masia this summer and in the next few days there will be more new names confirmed.
