Barcelona risk losing raft of superkids as Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal scouts on daily brief

Barcelona risk losing another generation of young guns over the next six months as Premier League clubs circle.

El Mundo Deportivo says scouts from Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United are in attendance almost daily at Barca's La Masia complex to watch their best youth teamers in training and match action.

While Barca have secured Abel Ruiz to a new deal, three of his fellow Barca and Spain U17 World Cup teammates are still on amateur forms. Mateu Morey, Sergi Gómez and Juan Miranda have all attracted enquiries from England's biggest clubs and can leave for compensation in the region of €3m.

A raft of 15 year-olds are also under consideration, including Robert Navarro, Ansu Fati and Pablo Moreno, all of whom can leave Barca for England when they turn 16.
