Barcelona has found a "new Haaland" in South America

Barcelona is one of the clubs actively scouting for young talent in the South American market, and the ongoing South American U15 Championship provides an excellent opportunity to assess promising players. Among them, Juan Riquelme Angulo stands out.

Details: According to the publication Sport, the Catalan club is showing serious interest in the 16-year-old forward, who is already being compared in playing style to Erling Haaland of Manchester City. Angulo has already scored four goals in six tournament matches, making him the top scorer.

Reminder: This forward, who has already reached a height of 1.93 m, plays for the Ecuadorian club Independiente del Valle. In the next 12–18 months, it is likely that many clubs will be interested in signing him.

For Barcelona, which needs a long-term forward, Riquelme Angulo could be an excellent find. However, if the Catalans decide to pursue him, they will likely face competition from other major clubs.
