While Barça management was in the rush to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor, internally, the scouting mission continues all over the world to unearth nuggets including Brazil which is the most monitored country. The link between the Catalan club and the country of Joga Bonito is incomparable as many great players have played there: Neymar, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and even Dani Alves. A privileged destination and a profile stands out from the list for Barcelona recruiters according to Sport. That of Breno Bidon, 19-year-old Brazilian midfielder for Corinthians and teammate of former Blaugrana Memphis Depay.

Technically comfortable with his vision of the game and his quality of passing, he caught the eye of Ferran Cedron, member of the international scouting department, during the Copinha final between Corinthians and Cruzeiro in January 2024. L The idea would be, in the event of recruitment, to strengthen Barça Athletic and he could be used in a relay role or number 10 as in Brazil. His contract expires in 2028, its value is estimated at 8 million euros but the good relations between the sporting director of Barça, Deco, and the Brazilian club could facilitate the operation. He will be monitored in January during a tournament with Brazil’s U20 selection.
