FC Barcelona has signed defender Javi Castro, formerly of RCD Mallorca, for Barça Atlètic until 2028.
FC Barcelona has made official the purchase of defender Javi Castro, coming from RCD Mallorca, to strengthen the ranks of Barça Atlètic. The 19-year-old player has signed a contract until 30 June 2028, linking himself to the Catalan club for the next two seasons. Castro arrives from CF Damm's Juvenil Division de Honor, where he played last season on loan. During this time, he continued to grow as a footballer, reaching nearly three feet tall and becoming a reliable defender, prized for his good reading of the game and ability to perform in high-pressure contexts. With this purchase, the team led by Juliano Belletti increases its options in defense, introducing a young talent with great potential, ready to bring internal competition and solidity to the rearguard of the Blaugrana subsidiary team.
