Barcelona is actively scouting young talent in the South American market, and the ongoing South American U15 Championship presents an ideal opportunity to evaluate potential stars. Among the standout players is Juan Riquelme Angulo.
According to Sport, the Catalan club has expressed strong interest in the 16-year-old forward, whose playing style has drawn comparisons to Manchester City’s Erling Haaland. Angulo has already netted four goals in six matches, making him the tournament’s top scorer.
The forward, who stands 1.93 meters tall, currently plays for Ecuadorian club Independiente del Valle. Over the next 12–18 months, he is expected to attract interest from numerous clubs.
For Barcelona, which is seeking a long-term solution in attack, Riquelme Angulo could be an exciting prospect. However, they may face stiff competition from other top teams if they decide to pursue him.
