La Liga champions Barcelona reportedly want to sign West Bromwich Albion’s Louie Barry with Bundesliga clubs also keen.
West Bromwich Albion youngster Louie Barry is a target for Barcelona with The Baggies facing up to the prospect of losing one of their most impressive young talents, as reported by the Express and Star.
West Brom have frequently bid farewell to their next generation in recent seasons, the likes of Chris Wood, Izzy Brown and Kemar Roofe leaving the Hawthorns without ever making an impression in the first team.
But things appear to be changing now with Sam Field, Rekeem Harper and Kyle Edwards (below) and co starting to earn more regular game-time in the Championship. So the Midland giants will be doing everything they can to avoid seeing Barry join arguably the most feared team in European football.
The Express and Star reports that Barcelona are keen to bring the youngster to the Camp Nou while clubs in the Bundesliga are once again planning to raid English football, perhaps inspired by the success of Jadon Sancho, Ademola Lookman and co.
Barry scored for West Brom’s U18 side in their 3-3 draw with Liverpool this week and has shone for England at youth level.
