Summer sales of two Barcelona stars could ‘leave the door open’ for 16-year-old sensation to step up | OneFootball

An up-and-coming member of the attacking ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona could take advantage of movement in the club’s first-team squad this summer to make the definitive jump to Hansi Flick’s setup.

That’s according to Diario Sport, who point towards Toni Fernández as the player in question.

The name of youngster Toni will likely be a familiar one to close followers of Barcelona.

At just 15 years of age, the Spaniard was drafted into the senior ranks in Catalunya’s capital last summer, for pre-season training.

Toni, from here, went on to thoroughly impress boss Hansi Flick and his staff, the attacker’s flair and versatility giving rise to widespread excitment surrounding his future prospects.

And though Toni was not ultimately afforded a competitive appearance for the Blaugrana, as much and more could well be on the cards in 2025/26.

As per a report from Sport:

‘Toni knows that he has the possibility of earning a place in the first-team for next season. The foreseeable absences of Pau Víctor and Pablo Torre leave a door wide open.’
