Gambian U-17 captain and highly-rated winger Alieu Drammeh is set to extend his stay at FC Barcelona, with a new three-year deal reportedly agreed in principle. The La Masia standout is expected to officially sign the contract once he turns 16, according to Spanish journalist Carlos Monfort.

Drammeh, who currently features for Barcelona’s Cadet A team, has quickly become one of the brightest young talents in the club’s academy. 

Known for his explosive pace, sharp dribbling, and eye for goal, the winger has been a standout performer both at youth level for Barça and on the international stage with The Gambia U-17 side, where he wears the captain’s armband.

The deal, finalised in principle by his representatives and the club, highlights Barcelona’s commitment to securing the future of their most promising talents. 

The official signing will take place once Drammeh becomes eligible to sign a professional contract upon turning 16.
