Barcelona is stepping up its efforts to enhance its talent network and has turned its attention to the African Cup of Nations. The Catalan club has dispatched a scout to closely monitor six promising African players from the tournament, as reported by Mundo Deportivo.

Among the notable individuals Barcelona is keeping an eye on are Ernest Nuamah from Ghana, who plays as a winger for Olympique Lyon in Ligue 1. Yankuba Minteh from Gambia is another player of interest, known for his powerful performances as a winger for Feyenoord. Additionally, Ousmane Diomandé from Ivory Coast, a center back from Sporting de Portugal, has caught their attention with his impressive displays this season.

Barcelona’s list also includes Dango Ouattara from Burkina Faso, who plays as a full-back-winger for Bournemouth in England. Pape Matar Sarr from Senegal, a midfielder who was recently re-signed by Tottenham, and Raphael Onyedika from Nigeria, a talented starting midfielder for Brugge, complete the group.

By adhering to their strategy of identifying and nurturing young talents, Barcelona aims to expand its database and enhance its future prospects. Given the quality and potential of these players, competition for their signatures is expected to be fierce. Barcelona hopes to make strategic decisions based on their long-term objectives and requirements.
