[Spor]Barça, in the footsteps of Chuki, the pearl of Valladolid

The 'Pedri case' marks the roadmap to be followed by an FC Barcelona forced to look for young talents.
 The delicate economic situation of the Barça team causes the club to have to anticipate the 'explosion' of the promises,
 since the signings at the blow of the checkbook do not seem to be a real option today. As happened with the Tenerife,
 Barça now wants to repeat the operation with Iván San José "Chuki", 
the pearl of Real Valladolid.

 

 

In recent months, the Catalan club has increased the following of the 16-year-old playmaker. Last season,
 "Chuki" scored 21 goals with the Pucelano cadet,
 a record that would have been even higher had the competition not been interrupted by COVID-19.
 In this season, his first as a Junior, the attacker has already made his debut with Juvenil A by Julio Baptista, 
leaving very good feelings.

Ronaldo Nazário himself, owner and president of Valladolid,
 witnessed the Juvenile 'B' match 'in situ' a couple of weeks ago. 
In that match, the left-handed playmaker scored the winning goal for his team.

 

 

 

The progression of "Chuki" has been accentuated in recent months and Barça is aware of it. 
The objective of the Barcelona entity is none other than to repeat the successful 'Pedri operation', 
although it will not be easy since other big clubs have also set their sights on the midfielder.
 When Barça signed Pedri two years ago, the one from Tegueste was also in his first year as a youth. Today,
 Pedri has catapulted his courage and is future but also an important part of the present of Barça.

"Chuki", who stands out for his mobility between the lines and his scoring facility,
 could become a new coup for the Catalan club. Given the economic crisis that Barça is experiencing, 
betting on young talents with a great future ahead seems the most viable option. 
For a question of price and also of long-term club strategy.
