Barcelona has been in the market for quite a while now in search of a replacement for the legendary Xavi Hernandez. Brand it as an obsession or something they can't get over, the board are dying to get another controller in their ranks.

After securing the transfer of Arthur Melo, they are quite relieved that the controller has arrived. But they must tackle another problem quickly.

Andres Iniesta has recently left the club, and Sergio Busquets isn't getting any younger. So where would you find a player who is as strong in the defensive departmant as Busquets and as creative as Iniesta?

Well, a thorough search of the market could land them such a talent, but why look outside when you have one of the biggest unearthed gems within your youth setup?

The 18 year old Ramón Rodríguez who has been recently promoted to Barcelona B under his Youth League winning manager Garcia Pimienta is one of the hottest properties in Barcelona right now.

A natural playmaker, Monchu has the rare ability of either playing as a deep-lying playmaker or doubling up as a defensive midfielder. To add to his list of qualities, the Spaniard has an eye for goal and can really score some when needed. Telepathic connection with the pitch, great shooting skills or providing assists, you name it, Monchu delivers.
