Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez has brought in Oriol Romeu to help cope with the departure of Sergio Busquets but also has his eye on Pau Prim.
The 17-year-old is Xavi’s “chosen one” to be Busquets’s long-term successor and has been monitored by the coach for some time, according to Sport.
Prim was called up for first-team training on several occasions last season and is one of several youngsters included in Barca’s pre-season tour squad.
He also featured in the post-season friendly against Vissel Kobe in Andres Iniesta’s farewell.

The teenager still needs time to develop but it seems that Xavi is hoping he will have a big future at the club.
