Every club in the world has to continuously plan for the future. Every club is looking for young players that can really have a major impact on the pitch.
The big clubs are always searching for the next young and talented kid who can take the club forward and can help them win matches and even championships and trophies at some point in their careers while the small clubs are focusing even more on searching those wonderkids so that they can sell them at a higher price in the future when the big clubs come calling.
There are many wonderkids in the football world today but there are some kids who are really playing wonderful football at a very young age and are destined for greatness in the future.
As a result, we will have a look at three of the most exciting prospects who are not just under the age of 20 but are also going to become polished superstars in the future if they keep playing the way they are playing currently.
#1 Vinicius Junior
Vinicius Junior is one of the most exciting young talent to watch out in the next few years. At the age of just 18, he has already been a part of Real Madrid's starting XI in LaLiga. Real Madrid bought him from Flamengo for a fee of €45m in 2017.
He was loaned back to Flamengo and stayed there for a whole season before linking up with Madrid squad ahead of the 2018-19 season. He is a left winger who can play at the right wing as well as a sole striker up front.
He is often compared to Neymar Junior who is a superstar currently playing for Paris Saint Germain in France. Real Madrid have bought him as a process of rebuilding their future and they hope to build their team around him in 5 years from now.
He is a highly talented player who can get past any defender and create his own shot while also creating for his teammates. If he can play with all his abilities and give his all to his club and country, he is bound to become a superstar in no time.
#2 Jadon Sancho
Jadon Sancho has been the biggest factor in the success Borussia Dortmund is having this season in Germany. He is now seen as one of the biggest future superstars in the Bundesliga.
He has played 17 league matches this season and has already scored 6 goals. He is also their top assister with 8 assists so far.
He was sold by Manchester City in 2017 due to the lack of playing time and so far has been an excellent deal for Borussia Dortmund.
He is a winger who has had an impactful season at such a young age of 18. He has a bright future and Dortmund would be hopeful of developing him as one of the best players in the Bundesliga in the future.
The club will also be aware of the fact that they could be losing him to a bigger European club at some point in his career if he continues to play at this level and keeps his current form.
They have already lost many players to their competitors in the last decade. So they will try to make sure they get a big transfer fee if they do cash in for the young star in the future.
#3 Gianluigi Donnarumma
Gianluigi Donnarumma has already been the first choice goalkeeper for AC Milan for several years now. He is just a 19-year-old kid who has already received interest from other big clubs like Real Madrid but decided to stay at AC Milan for now.
He plays in the Italian Serie A which is one of the best football leagues in the world. He made his debut at the age of 16 years and he became the second-youngest goalkeeper to start a match in the history of Italian football.
He is a tall goalkeeper who has some amazing talent and can easily go onto become one of the best goalkeepers in the world at some point in time. He has already made 144 appearances in all competitions for AC Milan at such a young age.
AC Milan have not played well over the past few years now and are struggling to get back to being one of the biggest clubs in the football world. They will have to start making progress and win matches as well as trophies if they hope to keep Donnarumma at the club long term.
