The youth department, La Masia, has become the lifeline for this current avatar of Barcelona, with several first-team stars stemming from the academy.
There is no shortage of talents in the conveyor belt either, with a host of young players ready to make their mark in the senior team in the years to come.
One of such talents is Dani Rodriguez – a winger who is currently plying his trade for Barcelona’s U19 squad.
However, it appears Barcelona fans might not get the opportunity to see Dani Rodriguez in action for the first team anytime soon.
That is because the young forward could be on his way out of Camp Nou at the end of the season, reports Diario SPORT.
The report suggests that Rodriguez, who has recently hired Pini Zahavi as his agent, will not have a future at Barça, especially with his contract expiring in the coming summer.
Dani Rodriguez has shown no desire to renew his contract, which has led to assumptions over his future this summer.
There is no shortage of suitors for Dani Rodriguez either, especially given the immense potential the player has shown at a young age.
Barcelona, for their part, believe the youngster may have already signed an agreement with Athletic Club, even though the player was courted by Tottenham Hotspur as well.
Although there is no detail on Rodriguez’s negotiations with Athletic Club, the player’s Basque background, coupled with uncertainty over the future of Nico Williams, the Spanish club would not hesitate to go after the forward this summer.
