Barcelona to have third Golden Boy winner in four years announced today

Barcelona have been forced to turn to their academy and in the case of Pedri and Ronald Araujo, younger talents have been brought in due to their finances in recent years. Yet the positive results were hardly imaginable, as evidenced by the Golden Boy Award.

According to Sport and others, Lamine Yamal will be declared winner of the award by Tuttosport on Wednesday and will receive the award at a gala event on December 16. That means it's been three of the last four years that the Blaugrana have had the winner of the award, following Pedri and Gavi in ​​2021 and 2022. The only player to break their monopoly was Jude Bellingham last year.

His Real Madrid teammates Arda Guler and Endrick Felipe were also nominated for the award, as were Pau Cubarsi, Valencia's Cristhian Mosquera, Spanish international Samu Omorodion and ex-Girona winger Savio Moreira. However, Lamine Yamal seems like the obvious choice this season.
