The FC Barcelona quarry continues to bleed. After the departure of Jordi Mboula (to AS Monaco) and Eric García (to Manchester City), the Catalan club is preparing to bid farewell to another talent forged in La Masía, the fullback Mateu Morey (just 17 years old).
According to the journalist from RAC1, Gerard Romero, one of the biggest clubs on the continent, Bayern Munich, has already reached an agreement with the player and will shortly pay the merely €3 million needed to acquire the services of this promising footballer.
A long-range fullback who stands out for his ability to run up and down the wing without neglecting his defensive duties, Mate has just completed an excellent U17 European Championship with the Spanish National Team, which is why many teams on the continent have shown interest in signing him during recent times.
If the departure of this footballer is confirmed, the Catalan team will be forced to review the functioning of its quarry, as it does not seem logical that an increasing number of players end up choosing to embark on adventures far from the Ciudad Condal. "Maximum fragility in La Masía! A very delicate moment. European teams know it, there is money and sports projects. We can continue to blame the players... But if we don't look at the problem within the club, we have a big problem!", the aforementioned journalist added on his Twitter account.
