According to Daily Sports, Neyser Villarreal, the Colombian star who Barcelona once paid attention to, will not make it to La Liga. He has signed a contract with Cruzero and will join and sign until 2030 at the end of the year.

Necer Villarreal is 20 years old. He performed well in this year's South America U20 Championship, scoring 8 goals and sending 4 assists to become the top scorer in the tournament. Villarreal's contract with the millionaire will expire in November, and he could have left the team as a free agent at that time.

Barcelona showed interest in Nessel Villarreal and contacted his agent, but failed to reach an agreement due to the club's investment restrictions and future uncertainty, and other European clubs such as Liverpool, Newcastle and Porto also expressed interest in him.

It is worth noting that South American young talents usually do not appear in the transfer market with zero transfer fees unless a certain termination fee is paid. Rock, the top scorer of the last South American U20 Championship, joined Barcelona a few months later, while midfielder Andre Santos became a member of Chelsea.

However, Nessel Villarreal and his team decided to temporarily postpone their landing in Europe and choose to continue their development in South America. Brazilian club Cruzero announced that he has signed a contract with him, and he will join in December and sign until 2030. Cruzero, who has been chaired by Ronaldo after undergoing a financial restructuring, is currently in an excellent season. Led by Portugal coach Leonardo Jardin, Cruzero is expected to compete for the double championship, including the Brazilian League and the Brazilian Cup. In addition to introducing experienced players, Cruzero also signed young Ecuadorian winger Kenny Arroyo, who transferred from Besiktas with a transfer fee of 6 million euros.

At present, Nessel Villarreal is preparing for the upcoming U20 World Cup in Chile with the Colombian national team. Barcelona will send two scouts to the scene to inspect the new stars.
