As he rose through the ranks at Barcelona, Gerard Deulofeu seemed to have everything.
Luis Enrique, his manager, regarded him as his “standout.” He was fast-tracked into the senior side at the age of just 17.
Deulofeu, though, never quite made it at Barcelona, not really.
He felt Luis Enrique, previously such an ardent advocate, did not “trust” him now that he was in charge of the senior team.
Deulofeu played six times for Barcelona, and was sold.
