Barcelona will lose the star of the Pau Prim academy in the Middle East, with an agreement achieved to take the 18 -year midfielder to Qatar. The talented product of the Masia has been regular for Atlético del Barça this season until the change of the year, when it was out of its games.
That is due to your contract situation, with your current agreement at the end of the season, and talks about a seemingly cold agreement. As a result, the Blaugrana have taken it out of the team, but now they have negotiated with the Qatar Al-Sadd side, the old Xavi Hernández club. Roman Fabrizio says that an agreement has been reached between the two teams and the Catalan SDIE will leave during the January transfer window.

Romano implies that the Prim in Qatar would be significant: he had also been attracting interest from Saudi Arabia. According to the reports, Al-Qadsiah was in conversations with Prim, which can sign a pre-contract in which he currently pleases. It remains to be seen if Barcelona will receive any compensation of the agreement.
Prim, 18, had a lot of time to be part of the first team in Barcelona. Although there was little certainty about whether it would become a success, Prim was pointed out as the most similar player that Masia stylistically had Sergio Busquets from the age of 16, when it became evident that the legend of Spain and Barcelona was in the twilight of his time in the club.
However, while Gavi, Pau Cubarsi and Lamine Yamal have omitted stages to reach the first team, Prim had not yet received the call to the first team, with Marc Bernal jumping it earlier this season. Prim may not be the only talent in the Academy of Barcelona that goes to Asian football either, with Hernández and Arnau Pradas in conversations about a transfer to Saudi Arabia.
