These West Brom fans have been discussing the latest rumours linking Louie Barry with a move away from Barcelona, with Aston Villa being the rumoured team “in talks” with the former Baggie according to the Daily Mail.
So far this season, Louie Barry has played three times in the UEFA Youth League for Barcelona U19’s. However, according to the Daily Mail: “Aston Villa are in talks with Barcelona over a proposed deal for teenage striker Louie Barry.”
This latest rumour was relayed to the West Brom fans via WBA Report. Here’s what the Baggies supporters had to say about the rumours:
???????? | #WBA
Aston Villa are now in talks to sign Louie Barry from Barcelona for just £1.5M.
The ex-Albion starlet joined the Spanish giants in July, yet Barca still haven’t paid any compensation (£130K) for prying the 16-year-old away from the Hawthorns.

Would you like to see Louie Barry return to West Brom?
Yes
No
Barry played four matches in the Premier League U18’s for West Brom but opted to leave for Barcelona in July 2019.

What Do We Think?
The situation seems to be a confusing one, with the Daily Mail claiming “Barcelona have still to pay the £130,000 due in compensation to the Hawthorns club.” Nevertheless, we feel that Louie Barry should just return to the West Brom academy, it might be a little bit embarrassing at first, but we are certain that the Baggies fans won’t hold it against him.
