Three La Masia products set to be promoted to Barcelona first team

Alex Collado, Alejandro Balde, and Angel Alarcon are set to earn a promotion to the Barcelona first team.

Collado has been one of the standouts at Barcelona B for a few seasons now, and has been touted for the first team for a long time. He plays as an attacking midfielder, scoring 15 goals in the Segunda Division B.

The 21-year-old has made two appearances for the first team, having been given his debut by Ernesto Valverde in May 2019.
