Xabi Alonso’s Bayer leverkusen announce signing of Barcelona starlet and Italian central defender Andrea Natali

German champions Bayer Leverkusen revealed on Wednesday that they had signed a highly regarded Barcelona young player.

The player in query? Natali Andrea.

The 16-year-old center defender Natali, on the other hand, has long been seen as a future star.

Fresh after leading the Azzurri to victory at the U17 European Championships,

the Italian had been a member of Barcelona’s roster since the summer of 2021.

This occurred after Natali decided to travel from Espanyol to Catalunya, which is a short distance.

But in recent weeks, there had been growing rumors that the stopper had turned his attention to a new business.

In particular, Natali was expected to bring his skills to Germany and work as a player

for the newly crowned Bundesliga champions, Bayer Leverkusen, to further his growth.

Additionally, as previously mentioned, exactly this has been verified as of Wednesday.

According to a statement posted on Leverkusen’s social media pages and website:

The 16-year-old young international is leaving FC Barcelona’s U18 team, with whom he contracted for a term that runs through June 30, 2027.
