Riquelme Felipe, an 18-year-old winger from Fluminense, is under close observation by FC Barcelona. The club's scouts in South America have been keeping tabs on him for the past year. Felipe is versatile, capable of playing in all three attacking positions, and has already made 17 appearances with the first team. Having debuted with the first team in January, he has emerged as a key player in the Carioca championship, celebrated for his dribbling skills and his ability to create scoring opportunities, drawing comparisons to his namesake, Juan Román Riquelme. With just a year remaining on his contract, which is set to expire in March 2026 for clubs outside Brazil, Barcelona perceives a chance to secure his signing. This aligns with their strategy to focus on investing in promising young talents due to existing financial limitations.
