It is no secret that Barcelona have struggled defensively this season, failing to maintain the same kind of effectiveness as last season.
Following the departure of Inigo Martinez, the club are yet to find stability at the back, with players like Ronald Araujo struggling to find any footing.
It is, therefore, only natural that Barcelona would want to look beyond the current defensive options, not only in the market but also within the academy.
One of the names that stands out the most is Nico Marcipar, who has become a household name in La Masia and is considered one of the academy’s most gifted talents.
Marcipar poised to make a breakthrough?
As reported by SPORT, Marcipar has been one of the most consistent performers for Barça Juvenil A this season.
If he continues to show the same humility and work ethic, the Barcelona camp believes he could soon become a genuine option in the first team.
A centre-back by trade, the Argentine has earned respect for his composure on the ball, positional awareness, and ability to recover possession quickly.
As such, talks have been held between the player’s representatives and the club, discussing his prospects in the team.
The youngster is described as attentive, intelligent, and disciplined. He is someone who applies himself fully in training and absorbs every detail of instruction.
That professionalism has made him a standout candidate to move closer to Barça Athletic in the near future.
Inside the club, confidence in Marcipar’s potential is growing. His technical quality and temperament make him one of the academy’s centre-backs to watch.
However, Marcipar still has a long way to go, and for now, the key will be to keep learning and working hard, and waiting for his opportunity.
