Barcelona continues to strengthen its academy and reserve squad with promising players from all over Europe. According to authoritative football insider Fabrizio Romano, the club has reached a full agreement on the transfer of 18-year-old defender Genk Juvensli Onstein.

According to the source, the deal has been completely closed. All necessary documents have already been prepared and signed. The Dutch football player will join Barcelona B. It is noteworthy that the Catalans had to endure competition for the player.

Onstein was very close to moving to one of the Italian Serie A clubs, but Barcelona’s offer changed the young defender’s plans, and he chose the Spanish vector of career development.

Juvensley Onstein plays as a central defender and is considered one of the talents of Genk’s academy in Belgium, which is known for producing world-class stars (such as Kevin De Bruyne and Thibaut Courtois).
