Replacing Rrahmani for the summer when he officially leaves . Kim bulls will probably leave then as well

Why are people taking this so seriously? A third division player called up to warm the bench in cup match due to injuries on the A squad..”What do they see in him?” Prime time bench warmer..

You never know, if he gets a chance to play with Messi, it won't be hard for him to score. Unfortunately, he is not part of 18 players invited for the Cup match against Leganes.

Agreed. People are looking too deep into it as if he has a chance to play for the big team.

He wasn’t bought as a prospect or for potential. He was bought to play in the 3rd division. He won’t play 1 minute for the first team.

It’s still an honor to “make up the numbers” sometimes for the A team and training with Messi is a dream come true. Manaj will still keep memorable photos and tell his grandchildren about it.

It’s nice to see Manaj training with Barcelona. Never seen an Albanian even train there so it’s awesome. Manaj is a good player, deff not world class but he has good technique and if improves can be a good striker. You don’t need to be world class striker to play with messi, griezzman, etc as they make you better anyways. Barcelona paid almost 3 million euros for him with bonuses so they do see potential in him (maybe the first team is a long shot but to sell him for much higher than that, otherwise why buy him?)

Barcelona bought him soley for their second team which plays in the third Spanish division. They want "permanent" players on their Barcelona B that can help get them promoted to the second La Liga as many of their top youth players fluctuate between the Barceloan B and Barcelona A which affects the form of Barcelona B. Guys like Manja help them get promoted to Second La Liga which will gives their youth products better competition for their growth. They have no intention what so ever for Manaj on their first team. And in fact Manaj was apparently struggling with his previous team in the second La Liga this season.

Now maybe you can make the argument hat he'll be a mainstay for the Barcelona B which may not be the worst thing for him.

Exactly. Maybe if he was tearing it up you could make a case that he might have a slim chance to play for Barcelona A in a cup game or something but dude was struggling... in the 2nd division. In and out of the lineup, conflicts with coach, not enough goals when he played.

All this move shows is that he's not even a 2nd division player but a third which is sad.
