Seventeen-year-old Israeli midfielder Oriane Goren is reportedly on the verge of a significant career milestone, with coach Hansi Flick considering him for Barcelona's squad against Real Madrid in the upcoming El Clásico. Spanish sports outlet "Sport" highlighted Flick's growing trust in the young player, attributing it to Goren's impressive performances and maturity during pre-season training.
Goren trained with the first team in recent days, and an injury to Dani Olmo opened up a midfield spot. "Sport" reports that Flick planned to allow Goren to train with the senior squad one more time before deciding on his inclusion. If selected, it would mark Goren's first official senior squad call-up.
The article emphasizes that Goren's potential inclusion is not solely due to the team's injury woes. He made a strong impression on Flick during the summer, training with the first team for longer than any other Barcelona Atlètic player. Goren also featured in pre-season matches, including the Joan Gamper Trophy, showcasing his decision-making, ball control, and ability to integrate into the team's style.
"Sport" praised Goren as an exceptional talent, comparing his playing style and touches to Pedri. He is considered one of La Masia's most promising talents, with Flick showing significant confidence in him. Goren has also become a key player for Barcelona Atlètic, coached by Juliano Belletti, and is regularly featured when available.
While Olmo's injury provided an immediate opportunity, Flick's positive assessment of Goren was built earlier. Barcelona views him as a versatile midfielder whose style aligns with the club's playing philosophy. Even if Goren doesn't play in El Clásico, a bench spot would be a major step, demonstrating that his pre-season impact has not been forgotten.
