5 youngsters who are at the crossroads in their career

Adnan Januzaj

#3 Sergi Samper

Sergi Samper

The midfield prospect who reportedly convinced Luis Enrique that Xavi was no longer needed has himself replaced by the likes of Ivan Rakitic and Arda Turan. Sergi Samper is a joy to watch on the ball and he's only surprisingly 21-years-old.

He's been so good that Premier League clubs in Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool were all linked heavily with moves to take him away from the Camp Nou yet Luis Enrique blocked every move to ensure he continued to play his football in Catalonia.

Having made only four appearances this season, Samper will not be happy with the amount of game time he's awarded given the likes of Sergi Roberto – albeit a little more adaptable – and Sandro have received more playing time.

It doesn't look like Barcelona are about to part ways with either of Sergio Busquets, Rakitic and Andres Iniesta anytime soon and this is why the young Spaniard needs to look into a move elsewhere. A loan or a permanent move could bring his career back on track.
