[Saba Sports News] According to Spanish media reports, Zaragoza Football Club has decided to take strict measures to address the issue of talent loss in youth training in recent years. Reports indicate that Zaragoza has decided to ban scouts from Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Real Betis from entering its youth training base, aiming to prevent the loss of youth talents that has occurred over the past few months. This means that these scouts will not be able to access the club’s youth training matches, including all games from children’s teams to youth teams. This measure has been verbally communicated to coaches from several related clubs, prohibiting them from watching matches. It is reported that Zaragoza is particularly dissatisfied with Barcelona because their youth players Samu Bolnikel and Gorka Bouil have already moved to Barcelona’s youth system. Previously, Zaragoza issued a statement indicating that they have encountered “predation of youth talents” and emphasized the increasing number of young players being poached. Fans may have their own opinions on this matter.
