After an eye-catching year in the Austrian Bundesliga, the highly touted 18-year-old joined La Blaugrana on a season-long loan from Rapid Vienna at the start of 2021/22.

He has already made his first team debut for Ronald Koeman's side, and Austrian national team coach Franco Foda has expressed his admiration for his progress.

“Yusuf Demir surprised us all. Nobody in Austria expected him to be a Barcelona first team player this year”, as per reports from Mundo Deportivo.

“Since we began to know he would be a player in the squad of Barcelona’s first team, a great madness began in Austria.

“Today he is the greatest promise of Austrian football there is no doubt about that.”

Foda gave Demir his senior international debut in March 2021, when they defeated the Faroe Islands in a 2022 World Cup qualification.

Foda called him up for a triple header later this month, with his team winning 2-0 in Moldova on September 1.

In tonight's 5-2 qualifying loss in Israel, Demir came on as a late substitution.
