Barcelona interested in West Brom’s Louie Barry
Barcelona, yes Barcelona, are among the teams interested in signing West Brom youngster Louie Barry.
According to a report from the Express and Star, the 15-year-old has suitors in both Spain and Germany, with Barcelona among some of the European giants taking a fancy.
Barry’s performances with England U16s have left a number of clubs across the continent keeping tabs on the player.
The report claims that West Brom remain hopeful of keeping hold of Barry for the foreseeable future.
A number of players have come through the club’s impressive academy and the Baggies hope that the clear path to the first-team squad will be enough to entice him to stay.
That may not be so easy when the likes of Barcelona are sniffing around, not to mention the sudden influx of young Premier League-based players moving abroad to pursue first-team football elsewhere.
Barry has been prolific at youth level and more of the same will only attract further interest in his services.
