Xavi Espart has become one of the most sought-after names in Spanish football’s new generation. Several of Europe’s biggest clubs have shown interest in the Barcelona right-back and Spain U21 international, but the Catalans do not intend to let go of his services easily.
Barcelona risk facing strong competition from European giants for one of their young talents. According to journalist Ikram Konur, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain have contacted the player’s representatives before he finalises a new contract with the Catalan club.
London clubs are also involved in the race for the young defender. According to reports, Arsenal and Tottenham have stepped up efforts to secure his services, making the competition even stronger.
The interest from these sides is linked to the view that Espart is seen as a footballer with great potential for the future. The right-back position is one of the roles where clubs constantly seek young players capable of developing and contributing at the highest levels.
Despite the great interest, Barcelona regard Xavi Espart as an important part of their future project. The Catalan leadership has no desire to part with the player and, according to reports, is expected to reject offers for his transfer.
