"He's already one of the best in the world at that age. He's a unique player, one we all enjoy watching every time he plays. I think Barcelona really notices it when Pedri isn't there."

Get ready to play tomorrow. You're ready, I see you're prepared. You might play or you might not, but you're ready, and if you do play, you know what you have to do. This message from manager Hansi Flick to Espart before the Newcastle match demonstrates the manager's confidence in the young prospect and his belief that the teenager possesses the necessary preparation and understanding to perform at the highest level.

Ronald Araujo seems to be a top option to return as a starting centre-back, now that Eric Garcia and Joao Cancelo will have to step into full-back roles after Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde's injuries. However, the manager is keen on identifying options from the academy and Barca Atletic captain Alvaro Cortes has now emerged as an option.

As relayed by SPORT in a recent report, Rodriguez is determined to succeed at Barcelona at any cost and is pushing away any offer to leave the club to prove his worth to Hansi Flick. The youngster currently plays for Barça Atletic in the fourth division of Spanish football, and his quality has seen him attract interest and offers from several teams in higher divisions.

Barcelona are preparing for the imminent departure of one of their most highly rated academy prospects, with fresh details now emerging about the situation surrounding Pedro 'Dro' Fernandez. A report from MARCA has shed further light on how the club and coaching staff are handling the final stages of what looks set to be a January exit. Despite enjoying the full confidence of Hansi Flick, the 18-year-old attacking midfielder has made it clear that he wants to leave Barcelona immediately.

As reported a while back, FC Barcelona are not closing the doors on the possibility of Marc Bernal leaving on loan before the end of this month so that he can play regularly. After all, the 18-year-old midfielder has found minutes hard to come by this term and things will only get harder once Gavi returns from injury next month. Bernal's fellow La Masia midfielder Marc Casado also finds himself in a similar situation, with game time coming at a premium.
