The young Gustavo Maia will be joining Barcelona B once he arrives from Brazil and will be in the García Pimienta’s side for the next season. Barcelona will be keeping 70% of Maia’s rights, while the São Paulo team will hold 30% for any future sale.

It will be great to see the talented Brazilian progress in Barcelona and can learn a lot under García Pimienta but given the current board, these youngsters should be given proper opportunities to strive at the Camp Nou.
