Barcelona recently contacted emerging Crvena Zvezda prospect Stefan Mitrovic, the 20-year-old Serbian winger’s father has revealed.
As quoted by Mundo Deportivo, Stefan Mitrovic and Barcelona have been in contact. The 20-year-old Crvena Zveza winger’s father has confirmed the claim, suggesting other clubs also want to sign the young prospect.
The Serbian winger’s father said, “As a father, I have to say yes, that Barça have contacted us, just like other clubs.”
Stefan Mitrovic is the latest budding youngster to have emerged in Serbia, whose youth revolution is creating a golden generation. Dusan Vlahovic has taken Italian football by storm, whereas Ivan Ilic is one of the best young midfielders in Serie A. And Mitrovic is a prodigious offensive prospect.
The 20-year-old rose through the ranks at Radnicki Nis before making his name at Crvena Zvezda. The player joined the Serbian outfit last summer and has five goals and three assists in 26 outings thus far this term. And Mitrovic’s progress has not gone unnoticed, with Barcelona seemingly contacting his entourage.
Xavi Hernandez has heralded a youth revolution at FC Barcelona since replacing Ronald Koeman. Young prospects like Gavi, Pedri, and Ronald Araujo have been blossoming under the former Spanish international. And with the team producing world-class performances, Barcelona fans can hope for a bright future.
The Blaugrana will likely dip into the transfer market for a wide-attacking reinforcement. That is because Ferran Torres faces an uncertain future at Spotify Camp Nou. In addition, Memphis Depay has already left Barcelona, joining Atletico Madrid in the January transfer window. The Catalan giants have thus shown interest in several young wingers, including Bryan Gil.
Stefan Mitrovic is also a viable target for Barcelona, with the Blaugrana contacting his entourage. And the 20-year-old emerging Serbian winger might be an affordable target, considering his market value is €2.5 million. And recent comments from Crvena Zvezda director Zvezdan Terzic suggest he might be up for grabs.
It will be interesting to see if Barcelona will approach Crvena Zvezda in the summer over a possible move. For now, the 20-year-old emerging Serbian winger has seemingly popped up on their radar ahead of the next transfer window.
