Barcelona’s relentless search for the next generation of global superstars has led them directly to the doorstep of Club Brugge’s latest rising sensation, Jesse Bisiwu.
The 18-year-old winger has seen his reputation soar after being compared by prominent football experts like Vinyl Tong to the early stages of Lamine Yamal’s historic breakthrough.
While he currently plies his trade for Club NXT in Belgium, Barcelona remain keen on acquiring the services of the youngster and this has now been confirmed by the player’s agent.

The player’s representative, Mobindi Marthy, recently broke his silence to address the growing speculation regarding the youngster’s future and a potential move to La Liga.
In an interview with Erem News, Marthy confirmed that the Blaugrana are indeed a major agitator in the race for the explosive winger’s signature.

“It is true that Barcelona follows Jesse very closely and is one of the clubs that actively monitors his situation,” he said (h/t Diario SPORT).
Despite Brugge’s desire to renew their star player beyond his current 2027 contract, the representative’s remarks suggest the transfer market machinery is already moving at full capacity.
When specifically questioned about the existence of formal negotiations, Marthy confirmed that high-level contact is a standard reality.
“Given the player’s talent, it is totally normal for there to be official communications with several clubs, including big clubs such as Barcelona,” he added.
While the link to the Catalan giants is undeniably significant, the agent made it clear that they are in no rush to force a premature move.
He is keen to ensure that the winger’s technical growth continues undisturbed while he gains valuable minutes with the Belgian club’s reserve team. “We are handling everything calmly, step by step,” he concluded.
