On the FC Barcelona side, while finances may not be in good shape, the sporting side is. This situation is made possible by the strong performances of young talents from La Masia.

Lamine Yamal is the standard-bearer. And while the 18-year-old winger is crushing it with the Blaugranas, they already have another big star who will soon emerge.

Not everything is necessarily optimal at the start of the season for FC Barcelona . Still waiting for its return to the Camp Nou, the Catalan club remains on two defeats which hurt in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain (2-1) and in La Liga against Sevilla FC (4-1). However, nothing dramatic for Hans-Dieter Flick's band who are second, two points behind Real Madrid in the Championship and will soon recover Lamine Yamal. Second in the 2025 Ballon d'Or, the winger is the darling of the Catalan club and maintains a solid level (2 goals and 4 assists in 4 matches).

However, even though he shines brightly, it doesn't stop FC Barcelona from continuing to develop other great talents capable of quickly making the first team. Lamine Yamal himself is the great talent who arrived just behind Ansu Fati. And for the next few years, FC Barcelona seems to have its next high-potential striker . Only 15 years old, Ebrima Tunkara is making excellent first steps with the youth teams of the Catalan club and the Spanish national team. Left-footed, the attacking midfielder is versatile and can also play on the left wing. Born in Gambia and arrived in Spain in 2017, Ebrima Tunkara is considered the new phenomenon of La Masia.

He shines in U19 and with Spain U17

Thus, the 15-year-old player stands out for his maturity and strong potential. This has allowed him to quickly advance within the FC Barcelona youth teams, whether U15 or U16, and is already finding himself outclassed. This season, he has already joined the FC Barcelona U19 team, where his dribbling skills and technical ease are wreaking havoc against players already much older than him. So much so that FC Barcelona allowed him to join the team that plays in the Youth League at only 15 years old. He also came into play against Paris Saint-Germain (2-1 victory).

In full physical development, he could even be close to two meters tall like his father when he has finished growing. These physical qualities, coupled with his technical skills, already make him a player closely monitored by the FC Barcelona first team for the future. An influential agent, Pini Zahavi has sniffed out the big fish and has already become his representative, he who is very close to the president of the Catalans Joan Laporta. During this October international break, Ebrima Tunkara also burst onto the scene with the Spain U17 team, scoring twice and providing an assist against Andorra (3-0) before finding the net again against Latvia (5-0). Promised a bright future, Ebrima Tunkara is already causing a sensation at FC Barcelona and in Spain.
