Barcelona are reportedly keen on signing New York Red Bulls sensation Julian Hall, a 16-year-old striker who has been making waves in Major League Soccer.
Hall’s Impressive Rise to Prominence
Hall became the youngest debutant in Red Bulls history at just 15 years and 190 days old, and has since represented the senior side 13 times, scoring twice and registering one assist.
His impressive form has caught the attention of top European clubs, including Barcelona.
Barcelona’s Interest in Hall
According to Fichajes, Barcelona view Hall as a potential long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who is expected to leave Camp Nou in 2026.

The Catalan giants are reportedly preparing a €10m (£8m) offer for the teenager, who would initially join Barcelona’s B team or be loaned to a Segunda Division outfit to aid his development.
Lewandowski’s Future at Barcelona
Lewandowski, 36, has been in exceptional form for Barcelona this season, scoring 30 times in 32 appearances.
Despite his advanced age, Lewandowski has shown no signs of slowing down and is likely to remain at Camp Nou for at least another season.
However, there is believed to be significant interest from the Saudi Pro League in Lewandowski, who could make a lucrative move to the country before the end of his career.
Hall’s Admiration for Lewandowski
Interestingly, Hall has previously spoken of his admiration for Lewandowski, who is of Polish descent, just like Hall’s mother. “He is someone I have looked up to now and in the past,” Hall told transfermarkt.
