According to an update from Fichajes, it has come to light that Barcelona are keeping a close eye on the progress of one of their former academy players, Adrian Bernabe, who has developed into a key figure at Parma.
Bernabe’s journey away from Barcelona began at a very young age, when he decided to leave La Masia in search of greater opportunities and joined Manchester City.
While his technical quality was never in doubt, breaking into City’s first team proved impossible due to the fierce competition.
That reality pushed the midfielder to make a brave move to Italy, signing for Parma at a time when the club were still competing in Serie B.
That decision has since paid off. As the seasons went by, Bernabe grew into a vital piece of Parma’s midfield.
His influence was particularly important during Parma’s promotion campaign, where his intelligence helped guide the team back to Serie A.
Having a stable season
This season has marked a turning point in his career. Free from the physical problems that previously disrupted his rhythm, Bernabe is enjoying his most consistent run of form to date.

In Italy’s top division, he has established himself as one of Parma’s most important players, regularly dictating play against higher-level opposition.
Within Barcelona, Bernabe is still remembered for the qualities that defined him during his academy days.
He is a midfielder who offers clean ball circulation, intelligent passing between the lines, and composure under pressure.
On top of that, he brings added value through his ability to shoot from distance and contribute in set-piece situations.
As far as Barcelona are concerned, they are actively searching for reinforcements who can deliver immediate impact without placing further strain on the finances or compromising long-term planning.
Bernabe, under contract at Parma until 2027, represents a realistic market opportunity.
Meanwhile, sources close to the player see Barcelona’s interest in a positive light, though there is no urgency at the moment to force a transfer.
