Juwensley Onstein has signed for FC Barcelona from KRC Genk on a two-and-a-half-year contract, joining Barcelona Atlètic initially.
Barcelona are reportedly close to signing young Dutch defender Juwensley Onstein from Jong Genk in the January transfer window. Reporter Matteo Moretto has posted an update on X and says "an agreement between the clubs is close" and that Onstein has already given the transfer the green light. Onstein is an 18-year-old left-footed central defender who has been linked with a move to AC Milan, but it now seems that Barcelona are set to win the race for the defender.
From a sporting perspective, Tavares fits a profile Barcelona have been actively targeting in recent years. He is a powerful, right-footed left winger who is comfortable playing on his weaker side, giving him a natural tendency to attack central spaces. In addition, he can also operate as a centre-forward when required. Despite his young age, Tavares already stands out physically. His advanced build has allowed him to compete at a high level against opponents two or even three years older.
