Reporter: Barcelona is paying attention to Argentine U17 forward Thomas Dematis

Gol Televisión reporter Albert Fernandez reported that Barcelona is paying attention to Argentina U17 international forward Thomas Dematis.

Barcelona is committed to betting on young talents at all times, and La Masia has been the key to the team's recovery in recent years, producing many important players such as Yamal, Kubasi and Fermin. But Barcelona is also very good at discovering external talents and integrating them into the team's plans. The most successful example in recent years is Pedri.

South American football has always been Barcelona's treasure hunt. The club used to be ahead of other European competitors in all major developments, but after the signing of Neymar, everything changed and Real Madrid began to gain a leading position in the South American market.

But it is reported that Barcelona has now set its sights on 17-year-old Argentine forward Thomas Dematis, who is currently participating in the U17 World Cup in Qatar, and Barcelona is believed to have been observing him for several months.

De Matis was born in Mar del Plata and is currently a player for Lanus. He has a good scoring ability and has proven this in the South American U17 Championship, where he scored six goals to help the team qualify for the U17 World Cup. He is a shooter who is fast, strong and has a sense of goal. In fact, when asked which striker he is like, the player himself answered Haaland, but at 1.81 meters tall, he is still shorter than Haaland.

At only 17 years old, Thomas De Matis has made his debut in the Argentine top league and has begun to become a regular in the first team roster. He also played one minute in the South American Cup and made his debut in the intercontinental competition.
