Six Barcelona Youngsters Hoping for Breakout Seasons in 2026-27

Barcelona are looking for breakout momentum from their La Masia academy as Hansi Flick leans on youth, and a slate of six young players is highlighted for a potential rise in the 2026-27 season. The article points to Flick’s approach after two seasons, including giving minutes to academy talents. It cites Dro Fernández as an example: included in preseason, then later a Champions League winner with Paris Saint-Germain after Luis Enrique signed him away less than six months after his Barça debut. Among the names for 2026-27, Tommy Marqués, 19, is profiled as a midfielder with De Jong-like runs who could benefit from competition if Frenkie de Jong’s knee injury opens minutes. Also mentioned are Egypt center forward Hamza Abdelkarim and others, with the theme of internal development emphasized.
