Barcelona facing Yusuf Demir dilemma - report

Barcelona are reportedly facing something of a dilemma when it comes to 18-year-old loan star Yusuf Demir.

The teenager was signed in the summer from Rapid Vienna on a season-long loan with the option to buy for €10 million.

Demir was initially signed for Barca B but has already been promoted to the first team, handed the No. 11 shirt and made eight appeances for the Catalan giants.

Yet Barca may be forced to make a big decision regarding the youngster sooner than perhaps they would have wanted.

According to Sport’s Toni Juanmarti, there’s a clause in Demir’s contract that states if he plays 45 minutes in 20 or more games then Barca have to sign him permanently.
