Ansu Fati, Gavi, Alejandro Baldé, Lamine Yamal, Fermín López, Pau Cubarsi, Marc Bernal and Marc Casado are among the names who have caused a stir at FC Barcelona after being overlooked. The Masia in recent years.
Most of the aforementioned names are key players in the first team at the moment and considering the amount of talent the academy houses, there is no doubt that more players will make the step up in the near future.
Jofre Torrents: the next revelation star?
As such, SPORT highlights Juvenil A left-back Jofre Torrents, 17, as one of those players who could be Barcelona’s big talent in 2025.
Torrents has been at Barcelona since 2018, when the club signed him from Reus. He has played alongside players like Lamine, Bernal, Cubarsi and Andrés Cuenca in the youth divisions.
After overcoming the cruciate ligament injury that paralyzed his career last season, the 17-year-old has established himself in the Juvenil A starting eleven and is showing why he is considered the best left back, along with Pol Bernabéu, in The Masia.
In addition to his excellent reading and distribution of the game, Torrents is also a tall, fast and strong defender who consistently makes good decisions.
Torrents, a high-flying full-back, is a modern player who excels in both offensive and defensive play. He is aggressive defensively and skilled in attack.
Great future ahead
Barcelona believes that after his injury last season the best option for Torrents is to continue rebuilding his form in the Juvenil A, where he will be able to enjoy more continuity and less pressure than in the reserve team.
However, if his development continues along this path, he is expected to get minutes with the reserves this season.
From there, it is possible that he can be seen in the preseason next summer with the first team.
The situation with the left-backs of the senior team makes it possible to imagine the youngster being tested under the guidance of Hansi Flick.
Currently, Alejandro Balde is the starting left back and Gerard Martín is his substitute, although the latter is not convincing enough. Therefore, Torrents could have a place, at least to impress during the preseason if he continues to progress at this rate.
