Every body: Barcelona pay close attention to the 17-year-old Nantes central defender Tati, who has outstanding physical fitness& left-footed player

Hupu, October 10th: Barcelona management clearly believes that a left-footed central defender must be signed next season. The departure of Inigo Martinez has obviously affected the team's defensive soundness, and Barcelona's scouts have begun to pay close attention to some players who may be suitable for the Barcelona system. Recently, Nantes' 17-year-old young central defender Tati has entered Barcelona's vision. He has outstanding physical fitness and is a rock in the defense. He has also attracted the attention of the technical departments of major European teams.

Nantes introduced Tati in 2023, and he has already shined in the youth team. The French club decided to bet on him this summer, renewing his professional contract until 2028. Tati feels no pressure and has become the team's starter.

Many scouts have been tracking the growth of this tall central defender. He is known for his strong physique, but surprisingly, he is good on the ball and fast. He is left-footed and Barcelona has already scouted him. Tati's current valuation is 3 million euros, but his transfer fee will be higher. The player hopes to stay at Nantes to finish the season and then potentially listen to offers in the summer. Barca are well aware that this is a left-footed centre-back with a huge future, albeit a risky bet.

In fact, the Barcelona sports management has explored the possibility of signing Dortmund's Schlotterbeck and Sporting CP's Inacio. The two players have similar contract situations. Their contracts with the club will expire in 2027 and they have refused to renew their contracts so far.
