Barcelona to lose academy gem to Qatar as agreement reached for 18-year-old

Barcelona are set to lose academy starlet Pau Prim to the Middle East, with an agreement reached to take the 18-year-old midfielder to Qatar. The talented La Masia product has been regular for Barca Atletic this season until the turn of the year, when he was left out of their games.

That is due to his contract situation, with his current deal up at the end of the season, and talks over a new deal seemingly cold. As a result, the Blaugrana have taken him out of the team, but now have negotiated with Qatari side Al-Sadd, Xavi Hernandez’s former club. Fabrizio Romano says an agreement has been reached between the two teams and Prim will leave the Catalan sdie during the January transfer window.
