FC Barcelona has set its sights on Felipe Esquivel, a young Argentine forward who is only 16 years old and plays in the youth teams of River Plate. The Catalans, who historically have explored the South American market in search of future stars, are closely following the development of this promising player, who has already begun to attract interest in Europe. Although Esquivel has not yet debuted with River's first team, his performance in the reserves has not gone unnoticed.

Esquivel, a native of Barranqueras, is a right winger with a special talent for dribbling past opponents, thanks to his low center of gravity and speed. Despite his young age, his ability to create imbalance on the field has caught the attention of several European clubs, with Barcelona being one of the most interested. This kind of move is not new for the blaugrana team, which has previously bet on young promises from South American football.

Felipe Esquivel, on Barcelona's radar

Despite Barcelona's interest, Esquivel would not be able to move to Europe until 2026 when he reaches the legal age, according to FIFA regulations. However, his current contract with River Plate includes a release clause of €30 million, which could complicate his signing in the near future. These figures demonstrate the Argentine club's confidence in the potential of their young promise.

It will be interesting to see how this situation evolves in the coming years, as Esquivel seems destined to become one of the most sought-after names by the top clubs in Europe, including Barcelona, which is always in search of new talents.
