Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo' revealed that FC Barcelona has begun to monitor the young Argentine winger Ian Subiabre, a player from River Plate, who is considered one of the most prominent rising talents in Argentine football currently. The player is 18 years old and is under contract with his club until 2028, with a buyout clause of 30 million dollars.

The newspaper clarified that Barcelona, despite being busy with finalizing player registrations in La Liga and the difficulty of making new signings at the end of the summer transfer market, is still actively seeking to discover future talents, especially after signing Swedish player Roni Bardhi this summer.

Subiabre has participated in 18 matches with River Plate's first team and scored one goal. He is represented by former star Claudio Caniggia, who is currently in Europe, raising speculation about his search for a European offer for his client. The player also shone in the South American Under-20 Championship by scoring 3 goals in 6 matches, and he is expected to be one of the key players for the Argentine national team in the upcoming Under-20 World Cup in Chile.

Barcelona plans to send scouts to follow the tournament, focusing on evaluating Subiabre's performance among other global talents. Although financial regulations currently prevent the club from signing new players outside the 1:1 rule, Subiabre remains a future option likely to join the ranks of the Blaugrana.
