Barcelona are still in shock after another failed pursuit of Nico Williams, who has signed a new long-term contract at Athletic Club<\/a> and will not be going anywhere.<\/p>\n

Bar\u00e7a were strongly linked with a move for Nico all throughout the past few weeks, but the move collapsed before the club could even meet his release clause.<\/p>\n

However, Barcelona would want to look at the positives rather than the negatives. Speaking of which, the failed pursuit of Nico could put two La Masia players in focus.<\/p>\n

Dani Rodriguez and Jan Virgili in focus<\/p>\n

As reported by Mundo Deportivo<\/a>, Barcelona could be looking at two La Masia talents seriously after Nico\u2019s failed move.<\/p>\n

Dani Rodriguez and Jan Virgili are the two players in question, with both looking to make an impression this summer.<\/p>\n

While Dani will miss the early parts of pre-season due to a shoulder injury, he remains a key prospect after showing promise for Juvenil A.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old is a left-footed winger who was unfortunate last year, as injuries and his involvement in the U19 Euros denied him a proper preseason run with the first team.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Jan Virgili, 18, has enjoyed a steady rise since joining Bar\u00e7a from Nastic. Initially starting out with Juvenil A, the Vilassar de Mar native soon made the jump to Bar\u00e7a Atl\u00e8tic and later earned a call-up to the U19 Euros. <\/p>\n

A right-footer, he has the versatility to play both on the wing and in more central roles, making him an interesting option for coach Flick.<\/p>\n

As Barcelona look to continue their search for a new winger, both Virgili and Rodriguez serve as excellent alternatives they can always count on this summer. <\/p>\n

Flick has other options too, including Ibrahim Diarra and Toni Fernandez, both of whom have shown immense potential as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Barcelona are still in shock after another failed pursuit of Nico Williams, who has signed a new long-term…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":42697,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[1386,4444,33509,5727,33510,221,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-42696","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-barcelona","9":"tag-barcelona-news","10":"tag-dani-rodriguez","11":"tag-fc-barcelona","12":"tag-jan-virgili","13":"tag-soccer","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114804873401690056","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42696","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42696"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42696\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42697"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
