Spain has always been a goldmine for technical brilliance — from Iniesta and Xavi to Pedri and Lamine Yamal. La Liga’s academies continue to produce some of the most gifted young footballers in the world, and this new generation could be the next to take the stage in your Football Manager save.

In this post, I’ve picked out some of the most promising young talents across La Liga’s academies and B-teams — players who already have the potential to become stars with the right development.

Just a quick reminder before you go raiding Spain’s youth setups:
I don’t know their current or potential ability in Football Manager.
That’s where you come in. Send your scouts, check their reports, and see which of these youngsters fit your tactical vision.

Whether you’re managing a mid-table La Liga side looking for a local gem or taking over a smaller European club aiming to sign the next Spanish superstar, these players are definitely worth keeping an eye on.
