Portuguese international DanyFreire is awaiting final approval to make his debut for Barcelona. The young striker, who joined JuvenilB after a brief training trial, completed his permanent signing in September, when he turned 16, but has not yet been able to participate in an official match due to the bureaucracy of registration.
Since his arrival, Freire has trained with the JuvenilB squad and has played several friendlies. In one of them, the team achieved a victory over RealMadrid, and the forward was named MVP of the game. Fan followers have spread videos of his best plays on social networks, which has increased expectations about his future at the club. Despite his performance, the lack of an “ok” from FIFA has prevented the player from fitting into the official competition.
The registration process is in the hands of FIFA and the parties involved maintain an optimistic attitude. The process is expected to be completed in the next two weeks, which would allow Freire to officially integrate and begin playing matches with Juvenil B. Meanwhile, the team, led by CescBosch, remains in fifth position in the table, after losing the last two days against Cornellà and Girona, both teams that occupy the top part of the standings.
Although the signing of Freire is the most notable, the German midfielder MikaBaza, from Hamburg, has already accumulated five minutes of play with Juvenil B. The young Portuguese, who has already been called up for the Portugal U-17 team, hopes that the bureaucracy will be resolved soon so he can demonstrate his talent on the Barça field. With possible approval on the horizon, Barcelona and their fans are eager to see the new signing score his first goal for the club.
