The summer of change at Barcelona doesn’t just impact the first team. The youth affiliate formerly known as Barça B is changing its title to Barça Atlètic this summer, and the name isn’t the only thing different about them. They have a new manager in club legend Rafa Márquez, and a whopping total of FOURTEEN players have left the youth setup in a major shakeup.
The club announced on Thursday that midfielders Jandro Orellana and Lucas De Vega as well as forward Gerard Fernández ‘Peque’ were the latest entries to the list of departures that also includes defenders Guillem Jaime, Arnau Solà, Santiago Ramos Mingo and Igor Gomes, goalkeeper Álex Ruiz and strikers Peque Polo, Ángel Rodado and Jordi Escobar.
