Barcelona departed on Monday for a training camp in England, where the team will play several matches to prepare for the 2026/27 season. The Israeli diamond, Orian Goren, began training with the Catalans and has already impressed coach Hansi Flick.
The German coach decided to invite Goren to the training camp, marking a significant step forward for the talented Israeli midfielder toward the senior squad. Initially, Goren was slated for the reserve team playing in the fourth division, but there is a chance that if he continues to impress Flick, he could start the season with the first team.

Orian Goren, born in 2009, moved to Barcelona in 2022 from Maccabi Petah Tikva, known as Israel's talent incubator. Goren's style of play is well-suited to Hansi Flick's vibrant football. The German coach favors talented midfielders who know how to hold the ball and move it patiently.
