Barcelona Keep Prospect Jesse Bisiwu Under Close Watch After Two-Goal Preseason

The club registered the 18-year-old with Barça Atlètic to keep him in-house for close physical and personal monitoring.

Overview

  • Barcelona completed a summer signing from Club Brugge for roughly €8–8.5 million with Club Brugge retaining a share of any future profit.
  • Scouts pushed the transfer despite a recent physical issue because they rated his pace, one-on-one skill and team play as a high-upside fit for the club's style.
  • Bisiwu scored twice in a friendly against FC Basel on Sunday, a display that heightened media attention but prompted club figures to warn against early hype.
  • Barcelona have ruled out an immediate loan request from Olympiacos and will keep Bisiwu training under Hansi Flick while monitoring his development day to day.
  • The club plans to use internal mentorship, notably from Lamine Yamal, and a staged pathway from Barça Atlètic into the first team with a decisive reassessment expected next season.
