Leon Bailey being tracked’ by Barcelona

by October 18th, 2017

Jamaican winger Leon Bailey is being followed closely by Spanish Giants Barcelona.

The 20-year-old  who  plays  for  German  Bundesliga  side  Bayer  Leverkusen  was one of a trio of players that were watched on Sunday by Barcelona’s representatives.

Spanish newspaper sport is reporting that Barcelona’s sporting Director Robert Fernandez and chief scout Urbano Ortega were in attendance at the Bay Arena, where Bailey started as his team battled to a 2-2 draw at home to Wolfsburg.

Bailey who made 56 appearances over two seasons for top Belgium side Genk, was wanted by a handful of premier league teams last year but instead was advised by his father Craig Butler to hone his skills in Germany.

Bailey  is  yet  to  make  a  senior  team  appearance  for  Jamaica, after  talks  broke  down  between  the JFF  and  butler  ahead  of  the  Jamaica  teams  friendly  game  against  Saudi  Arabia  in  Jeddah  earlier  this  month.
