Barcelona are already planning next season, and La Masia is once again becoming central to the club’s decisions. The sporting department has several young names on the table, with Xavi Espart, Jofre Torrents and Tommy Marqués all pushing for a bigger role. Their situations are different, but all three are now part of the club’s internal debate.
The full-back positions could be especially important during the summer transfer window, depending on exits and squad decisions. That is why Espart and Jofre are waiting carefully to see what happens with the first team. Any movement in defence could suddenly open a very important door for both academy players.
At the same time, Tommy Marqués is gaining real strength inside the club’s planning. He is not just being monitored from distance or considered a distant option for the future. Right now, he is seen as one of the clearest candidates to move closer to the first team.
Espart And Jofre Wait For Their Chance
The cases of Xavi Espart and Jofre Torrents depend directly on Barcelona’s first-team decisions. If the club changes something in the full-back area, both could benefit very quickly. That is why their future remains closely linked to the market and Flick’s final squad planning.
Barcelona know they need depth, competition and reliable solutions for another demanding season. However, the club also knows that Financial Fair Play will continue to limit expensive operations. In that context, academy options can become much more valuable than usual.
For Espart and Jofre, the next few months will be decisive for their immediate future. A departure, a tactical adjustment or a lack of external signings could change everything. Both remain in a waiting position, but their names are clearly on the table.
Tommy Marqués Gains Strength
The strongest name right now appears to be Tommy Marqués, who is already viewed as a serious option. His possible promotion is no longer just a long-term idea inside the club. Barcelona believe he has enough potential to be considered for the next step.
This fits perfectly with the current direction of the sporting department. Deco and Flick want to improve the squad, but they also want to protect the club’s identity. When La Masia produces a convincing profile, Barcelona usually try to create a path.
The economic situation also gives this type of decision even more importance. The club cannot solve every problem with major signings, especially under strict registration limits. That is why Marqués is now so well positioned in the internal race.
Flick Waits For Key Summer Decisions
Everything will depend on how Barcelona resolve several open files in the first-team squad. The future of the current full-backs will directly affect Espart and Jofre Torrents. Meanwhile, Tommy Marqués continues to push as a serious candidate from below.
The conclusion inside the club is becoming increasingly clear ahead of the summer. La Masia is pushing again, and Flick already knows there are internal solutions available. If the squad changes, Barcelona have three young talents ready to take advantage.
