The Spanish Starlet Dreaming of Barcelona
Las Palmas midfielder Alberto Moleiro isn’t hiding his ambition to reach the top of football. In a recent interview with Más Que Pelotas, the 21-year-old expressed his dream of playing for a major club like FC Barcelona. "Right now, I’m very happy and not thinking about leaving, but hopefully, in the future, I can play for a big club like Barça or another one. I think it’s every footballer’s dream," said Moleiro, who has already made 124 appearances for his club and established himself as one of Spain’s brightest talents.
Moleiro also praised the current Barcelona side under Hansi Flick, acknowledging their strong form this season. "Barça is in great shape right now, scoring against almost every team. When we face them, we’ll need to stay fully focused and hope they’re not at their best that day. We have our own strengths to try and counter them, but we’ll see what happens," he said about Las Palmas’ upcoming clash with the Catalan giants.
The young midfielder didn’t miss the chance to express his admiration for Pedri, with whom he shares Canary Islands roots and a similar playing style. "I’m really happy for him. It’s great to see him playing at this level after everything he’s gone through with injuries. I was lucky to see him and chat with him recently, and he looks really good. I’m also thrilled for other Canarians like Yeremy Pino, who are shining with the national team," Moleiro added.
With his vision and composure on the field, Moleiro could be an exciting addition to Barcelona’s midfield in the future. However, the player remains grounded, focused on his growth with Las Palmas. "Football is about the present, and when the opportunity comes, you have to be ready," he stated. For now, the Las Palmas fans continue to enjoy his talent as he carves his path toward the pinnacle of European football.
