Youth: Enric on trial in Holland after refusing Madrid

Dutch club NAC Breda has confirmed that Barcelona Juvenil A attacking midfielder Enric Vallés (18) is on trial these days. The player has been offered to NAC by his agent Rob Moore.

Enric arrived last week in Breda, where he trained two times with the local youth and played a friendly game on Saturday. Since Monday he's training with the first team. NAC will probably decide today if the club wants to sign the player.

Ivan Modia, Enric's other agent, confirmed to Dutch local newspaper BN/De Stem that several Italian clubs are also following the player. Because of his love for Barcelona, the Catalan midfielder refused earlier this summer an offer from Real Madrid.

NAC Breda sports director Earnest Stewart says that NAC could see Enric as an option for the future: "He's certainly not someone who can be a regular next season but he could be a reinforcement for the future. We'll make a decision on that in the coming days."

Enric says that he certainly would be willing to stay with NAC: "I have to be honest and admit that I had never heard of NAC, but my first impressions are very good. For my develoment as a player I think it would be good to come to Holland. Young players get more chances here and in general teams play good technical football, which suits me."

The paper reports that during his first training with the team an NAC defender kicked Enric under the grass after the youngster had been been showing off during a position game holding the ball in the air five times.
