32-second readLa Masia has long been the backbone of Barcelona and continues to produce talented players for Hansi Flick’s first team. Barcelona have now established a clear development plan for Artem Rybak, one of La Masia’s most exciting young talents.
The club is determined to prioritise his long-term progress over rapid promotion through the academy ranks. According to SPORT , the 16-year-old Ukrainian will spend the season primarily with Juvenil B under Cesc Bosch, while also being given a more settled role in midfield.
