Right now, everyone is talking about Lamine Yamal and the magic he brings to the field, but the truth is that in the FC Barcelona academy, La Masia, a new star is emerging who is also destined to amaze the world.

The Rise of Adam Qaroual: From Germany to Barça

Adam Qaroual was born on July 30, 2012, in Mönchengladbach, Germany, and began his football career at SV Lürrip. He then joined Borussia Mönchengladbach, where he played in the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 seasons. His career took a turn when he spent the 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 seasons at PSV, before moving to FC Barcelona in July 2023, where he currently plays for the Aleví B (U12B) team.

A Multinational Footballer with Remarkable Talent

Adam Qaroual is a young footballer with three nationalities (Moroccan, German, and Spanish) and speaks five languages, showcasing his ability to adapt to different cultures and environments. With a contract signed with Nike and represented by agent Jorge Mendes, his future in football looks bright. Despite his young age, Adam has already begun to stand out in the football world.

The Challenge of Adapting to Barça’s Style

In his first year at Barça, Adam made an impact with his unique, virtuoso style, characterized by “freestyle” details. However, his 100% street approach clashed with the tactical demands of Barcelona’s style of play. Playing as a midfielder in 7-a-side football, his vision of the game led him to pursue dribbles and individual plays, often neglecting the simple touch and team play—key elements in Barça's philosophy. The challenge of not speaking the language further complicated his integration. Additionally, an injury kept him off the field for four months, complicating his adaptation process.

Adam’s Evolution with a Bright Future

Despite the challenges, Adam began to understand that his footballing style needed to adjust to Barça's system, and his evolution has been positive. Now, the young player continues to work on improving and progressing, without losing the joyful and creative essence that defines him. Adam Qaroual is a different kind of player, with a virtuoso technique that continues to dazzle both fans and observers, as showcased on his Instagram profile.
