In addition, im going to make an effort to see more of the youth this season. Love to see players such as Thiago and Muniesa coming through

I'm definitely paying more attention to our youth as well, as we have finally a considerable possibility to watch their games with, hopefully, better quality :p

Catalan sports paper Sport report that Primera Liga club Deportivo La Coruna are interested in signing FC Barcelona defender and Spanish youth international Marc Muniesa (18).

Muniesa, one of the jewels of the La Masia, has become the object of desire for Augusto César Lendoiro and Miguel Angel Lotina, the president and coach of Deportivo la Coruna respectively. For days now, the Galician club have been trying to capture the young Catalan centre half.

The idea is that Muniesa will occupy the left side of the Deportivo defense, that has been left void by the departure of Brazilian full back Filipe Luis to Atletico Madrid, as Muniesa is known to play both as a center half or as a left full back with equal effect.

Lotina would reportedly love to have Muniesa at the Riazor this season and has proposed a transfer to Barcelona. However, Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola does not seem too keen on letting go off one of the key parts of his future defense. Firstly with the reserves now playing in the second division, Muniesa will already be up against an opposition of much higher quality compared to the third division, so a transfer to the first division dosen’t really seem a necessity. Secondly Barca B coach Luis Enrique wants to have his best possible squad available for the next season and thus wants to hold on to his young defender. In addition, Muniesa is one of the players that Pep Guardiola is set to count on to help the first team during the season. Although a year in the First Division team would still be a very positive experience for the defender.
