Seventeen-year-old Israeli footballer Orrian Goren is reportedly on the verge of being included in Barcelona's squad for the upcoming El Clásico match against Real Madrid. Goren, who has been developing at Barcelona's famed La Masia academy for the past three years, has impressed coaches with his technical skills and game intelligence. Spanish sports outlet "Sport" has drawn comparisons between Goren and Barcelona star Pedri, noting his "genius touches" on the ball and his ability to make decisive plays.
Goren, who also holds a Czech passport, has represented Israel at various youth levels, including the Olympic team, and is expected to receive a call-up to the senior national team soon to prevent him from opting to play for the Czech Republic. He has already received opportunities with Barcelona's senior team during preseason friendlies, earning praise for his performances against teams like Udinese and Birmingham.
Barcelona coach Ansi Flick has been closely monitoring Goren's progress and has included him in first-team training sessions. If selected for the El Clásico squad, it would mark Goren's official debut with the senior team in a high-stakes match at the Camp Nou. Goren's versatility allows him to play as an attacking midfielder or a deeper playmaking role, further increasing his value to the team.
