In an official statement, Barcelona announced that an agreement had been finalized for Tavares’ integration into the Juvenil A setup. The England U17 international is regarded as a dynamic and versatile forward — comfortable operating on either flank and equally capable of drifting into central attacking areas to influence play.
Tavares has committed his future to the Blaugrana until 2028, signaling strong belief from both player and club in what could be a significant development story in the coming years.
