Barcelona Plans Development Path for Biskir

Barcelona is eager to retain 17-year-old Jordi Piqué within its ranks, aiming to develop him through participation with Barcelona Athletic, while gradually integrating him into the first team under the guidance of Hans Flick.

Spanish outlet "Mundo Deportivo" has reported that Biscay has started to attract attention during the pre-season preparations, becoming one of the standout performers in Flick's training sessions, and is now in the German coach's plans.

Barcelona's plan is to retain the player with Barcelona Athletic following his return from the mini Elche tournament in Alcante, where he participated with the Spain U18 national team, with the possibility of training with the first team or being included in the matchday squad if needed.

Biscay has drawn Flick's attention thanks to his offensive capabilities, technical skills, and physical build, standing at 1.83 meters tall. He also possesses the ability to advance and support the attack, characteristics that align with the players Barcelona aims to develop within La Masia.

The Spanish newspaper confirmed that Barcelona does not want to rush Bisker's development, so he will not be relied upon as a regular substitute for the first team. His role will not be limited to the reserve team; instead, he will continue to gain experience with Barcelona Athletic while gradually familiarizing himself with the demands of the first team.

The competition for the left-back position is a significant factor in Piqué's opportunities, especially with Balde opening the door for young players to showcase their abilities. Meanwhile, Xavi Espart has successfully taken advantage of this opportunity.
