Hansi Flick monitoring 17-year-old La Masia defender for possible pre-season call up

Barcelona’s La Masia continues to deliver exciting prospects, and one name drawing increasing attention is Swiss defender Eman Kospo.

As reported by SPORT, the towering centre-back has made remarkable strides this season, prompting the club to monitor his development with great interest.

Part of the same generation as Pau Cubarsi, Kospo is currently with Oscar Lopez’s Juvenil A side. His adaptation has required patience, but insiders from Barça’s youth setup describe his progress as “exponential”.

Kospo possesses the ideal physical frame for a central defender. His build, combined with a natural presence and leadership qualities, has earned him comparisons to traditional centre-back stalwarts.

While his technical abilities still need refining, there is no question about his potential.

More than just size, Kospo has shown maturity in key moments. He is decisive in duels, displays leadership on the pitch, and maintains composure under pressure—traits rarely seen in players of his age.
