The New Pau Cubarsí Responds to Barça's Interest: He Is 16 Years Old and Plays for Ajax

A young defender who promises to be a great figure, just like Pau Cubarsí, for the future of European soccer

FC Barcelona is famous for its youth academy, La Masia, a global benchmark in the development of young talents. Among these young players, Pau Cubarsí has emerged as one of the most promising defenders, standing out in the first team with his effort and dedication. Barça has set its sights on Jorthy Mokio, a 16-year-old defender from Ajax, considered the "new Cubarsí."

Pau Cubarsí: A Reference in the blaugrana Defense

Pau Cubarsí is a clear example of what Barça represents in terms of training and talent. The young defender has demonstrated the maturity and ability to lead the defense, becoming a key piece for the team.

Despite his young age, Cubarsí has quickly gained the trust of the coaching staff and the admiration of the fans. His defensive solidity, game reading, and ability to play the ball out have been his main characteristics that have put him on the radar of major teams.

The security that Cubarsí offers on the field is undeniable. His defensive ability has made him a great promise and future pillar of Barcelona.

The Young Jorthy Mokio: A Rising Star

Meanwhile, as Cubarsí continues to shine at Barça, the Catalan club also has its eyes on the young Jorthy Mokio. This 16-year-old center-back has been making history at Ajax, one of the most prestigious clubs in the Netherlands.

Mokio had already begun to attract attention in European competitions by gaining minutes in the Europa League, but it was in the Eredivisie where he truly made his mark. In his debut as a starter in the Eredivisie, he became the second-youngest player in Ajax's history.

This achievement is even more remarkable considering that Jorthy Mokio already has experience in professional soccer. In the past season, he debuted in Belgium's Pro League with KAA Gent during the play-offs, showing his ability to play on big stages. After not renewing with Gent, Mokio joined Ajax, which soon gave him the opportunity to play with the first team.

A Promising Future

Mokio's signing with Ajax is just the beginning of what promises to be a career full of successes for the young defender. Although he still has much to learn, his development is being closely followed by several European clubs, including FC Barcelona. With his promise and mentality, Mokio has everything to be the next Pau Cubarsí.

Despite his young age, Mokio has already demonstrated the maturity and quality needed to stand out in high-level leagues. If he continues to grow, he could compete for important titles with Ajax or even with Barça. The future of soccer is full of young players like him, and Jorthy Mokio could be one of the next great defenders to dominate international fields.
