La Liga giants Barcelona are still keen on signing West Bromwich Albion's teenage star Louie Barry, according to a report from Birmingham Live .
The 15-year-old forward has already caught Barca's eye thanks to terrific goalscoring form both for the Baggies and for England at various youth levels.
Barry has already been fast-tracked into Albion's under-18 side, for whom he scored four goals and provided three assists this season.
Despite his tender age compared to several of his teammates, he also came on as a substitute in West Brom's 4-2 defeat to Manchester City in the semi-finals of the FA Youth Cup in April.
Barry has been at West Brom since the age of six and, although he is also eligible to play for the Republic of Ireland and has also represented them, he has a formidable goalscoring record for England's youth sides at various levels.
He scored 10 goals in five matches for England's under-15s side while representing them, and added the golden boot from the Val-de-Marne tournament when representing the Three Lions' under-16s in November last year.
Shortly after that he bagged a brace for England's under-16s in a match against Brazil, further underlying the quality that has made plenty of the elite clubs around Europe sit up and take notice of the youngster from Sutton Coldfield.
FIFA rules will allow Barry to transfer to another club once he turns 16, and while West Brom are obviously determined to keep him at the club, there are concerns that he may find a move to the reigning La Liga champions as being too good an opportunity to turn down.
