Marc lists the top ten Lamacia youth training players who have not met expectations in the past decade: Fati and Phuket are on the list

July 8th news As Ansu Fati officially announced his loan to join Monaco, the "Maca" has included the top ten developments that have not met expectations in the past decade and have to leave Barcelona: Fati and Phuket and other familiar names are listed.

Ansu-Fatti

Fatti made his mark in the 19-20 season and had a tendency to succeed Messi. A meniscus injury in 2020 has caused him to be in a slump since then and he has never returned to his peak. Previously, he played for Brighton on loan.

Nico Gonzalez

Nico Gonzalez made his mark under the leadership of Xavi, and he performed very well. But it was surprising that he was loaned to Valencia next season. Porto paid him a transfer fee of 8.5 million euros, but Barcelona retained 40% of the second transfer share rights and cashed out the following year. Manchester City paid his 60 million euro termination fee, which brought Barcelona an additional 24 million euros in revenue. People always feel that he could have a place in Barcelona's midfield. The Moroccan winger was able to get a place under Xavi, but he was not satisfied with playing a supporting role and decided to go to a club that would make him an absolute starter. His performance at Betis is improving, but it is unlikely to see him play for Barcelona again in the near term.

From the very beginning, Phuket gave people the feeling of a classic Barcelona DNA midfield carefully created by Lamacia. He debuted under Valverde, but coaches such as Setien, Koeman, and Harvey took office one after another, but no one can guarantee his continued appearance. Tired of the bench, he unexpectedly transferred to Los Angeles Galaxy and left the top team too early.

Alenia

He is very similar to Phuket. Enrique gave him a first-team debut in the 16-17 season, and he kept wandering between the reserve and the first team until he became a first-team regular under Valverde. However, he never fully realized his potential. After loaning Betis and Getafe, Getafe finally bought out him. He was loaned to Alaves last season.

Mingeza

Mingeza made her first appearance for Barcelona's first team in the 20-21 season, which was impressive from the beginning. In two seasons, he has plenty of playing time and has shown his edge. He had rotated between full-backs and centre-backs until he joined Celta in the summer of 2022, where his offensive ability was further improved.

Deulofeu

Deulofeu is one of the hope stars of Barcelona's youth training in recent decades, and he is undoubtedly one of those players who have been highly anticipated but ultimately failed. He got back to form while playing for Everton and Watford in the Premier League, but never convinced any Barcelona coach to give him a stable chance. Injuries also failed to achieve his career. In the 14-15 season, Munier successfully entered the first team. He scored in his La Liga debut and Spain quickly called him as an international. However, his form has been ups and downs in his first three seasons at Barcelona. He then left the team on loan and returned briefly for a while, but also failed to achieve the expected results.

Martin Montoya

For many years, Montoya has been Barcelona's right-back, making his debut under Guardiola and becoming Alves' regular substitute. He performed well as a substitute but eventually decided to leave Camp Nou for career advancement. He played for Betis twice and finally found form.

Tello made his debut under Guardiola and continued to succeed under the leadership of Biranova and Martino. However, Tello never really gained a foothold in the starting lineup. He eventually signed with Betis after loaning to Porto and Florence.

Other situations

In addition to these ten players, Cucurella, Ilias Akhomach, Sandro Ramirez, Carles Perez, Juan Miranda, Samper, Masip, Turner... and some other young players, relying on their own conditions and strength, found their place in the Barcelona first team, but eventually had to leave the Camp Nou Stadium and find an opportunity to gain a foothold in the top league. Because not all Lamacia's roads lead to Barcelona's first team.
