Louie Barry looks set to leave Barcelona after just six months at the Nou Camp from West Brom – to join Midlands rivals Aston Villa, the team he grew up supporting.

Barcelona and Aston Villa have reached an agreement for one of England's most exciting young talents to return home in a move will cost Villa up to €3 million and he has agreed a four-year deal

Before joining Barca last year, the 16-year-old turned down lucrative offers from a host of Europe's top clubs - including a £2m deal with Paris Saint-Germain - to become the first English player to link up with Barca at their legendary La Masia academy.

With his game time limited for Barcelona's youth teams, the striker has now reportedly agreed a deal to join Villa, where he'll begin training for the U23s. A Premier League debut before the end of the season has been seen as "a possibility" according to ESPN.

Barry is a certified bagsman for his age group, having slotted in 10 goals in five games for England U15s at a tournament in Italy in 2018, before winning the Golden Boot at the Vale-de-Marne tournament later that year.

Barry's former club West Bromwich Albion are taking legal advice in their on-going battle with Barcelona over the signing of Barry, with the Midlands club still yet to be paid any of the £130,000 fee set by an independent tribunal.
