With interest mounting from Bundesliga clubs, Barça are postponing key decisions on top talent Noah Darvich until after this summer’s U19 European Championship.
Barcelona are treading carefully with one of La Masia’s brightest lights—Noah Darvich. As reported by MARCA, the Catalan giants are delaying any final decision on the future of the 18-year-old midfielder until after the UEFA U19 Euros, where Darvich will captain Germany and showcase his elite potential on the international stage.
Currently under contract until 2026, Darvich has been scouted closely by Stuttgart and Bayer Leverkusen, both eager to bring the creative prodigy back to his homeland. Though he has trained with Barça’s senior squad and appeared in two La Liga matchday squads under Xavi, he has yet to make his first-team debut. New manager Hansi Flick, however, is an admirer of the midfielder’s intelligence and adaptability.
Darvich’s current club, Barca Atletic, faces relegation from Spain’s third tier—a scenario that could accelerate a decision to either extend, loan, or sell him. While Barcelona are keen not to lose him on a free, they also recognize the stiff midfield competition that could limit his immediate opportunities.
The UEFA U19 Championship will be pivotal. A strong showing by Darvich could tilt the balance toward a contract extension and potential promotion to the senior squad. A quiet tournament, however, might push Barça to loan him out or consider offers from Germany.
Summary of Key Points:
Darvich’s contract runs until 2026.
Stuttgart and Bayer Leverkusen are both circling.
Hansi Flick rates him but midfield depth poses a barrier.
Barcelona Atletic’s possible relegation complicates matters.
The U19 Euros will heavily influence Barça’s next move.
A player of vision and class, Noah Darvich could become a pillar of the next Blaugrana generation—or be snapped up by Bundesliga rivals if Barça hesitate. His future, for now
, lies in the balance.
