FC Barcelona Pursues Brazilian Prospect Kaua Pavuna and Belgian Forward Jesse Bisiwu
FC Barcelona has made a €10 million (€11.4 million US) initial bid for 18‑year‑old Belgian forward Jesse Bisiwu of Club Brugge. The offer was rejected, but the Catalan club’s sporting director Deco and João Amaral continue negotiations, proposing a higher fee and a future‑sale percentage. Bisiwu is slated for the Barça Atlètic reserve team with a potential path to the senior squad.
The club is also scouting Brazilian 15‑year‑old Kaua Pavuna, a Flamengo academy product who has impressed with technical dribbling, vision and goal‑scoring for Brazil’s U‑15 side. Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Barcelona have all monitored him, and his parents recently visited the German and Spanish clubs to assess their youth development programmes. Pavuna is described as a highly sought‑after talent amid growing competition for South American youngsters.
