Pau Prim Coma (born 22 February 2006) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Barcelona Atlètic.

Club career

Born in Castellbisbal, Barcelona, Catalonia, Prim started playing football at the age of 4 with his hometown club before signing for Barcelona in 2012.[1] He was named captain in the youth squads for Barça and rose to the Juvenil A squad after starting on his debut against Viktoria Plzeň in the UEFA Youth League.[2][3][4]

Despite having been recently promoted to the U19 side during the 2022–23 season, Prim was named as an unused substitute in Barça's 2–1 defeat to Celta on 4 June,[5] and was one of six youth players to make their first team debut in a friendly match against Vissel Kobe just two days later.[6] In addition to his debut, Prim made his Barcelona B debut on 27 August 2023 in a 1–0 defeat to SD Logroñés in their opening match of the 2023–24 Primera Federación.[7][8]

International career

A Spanish youth international, Prim has represented the Spanish U16 and U17. He was named in the Spain U17 squad that played in the 2023 European Championship.[9]

In August 2023, Prim was left out of the Spanish U18 selection due to first team commitments under Xavi.[10][11]

Style of play

Integrated into the philosophy of Barcelona, Prim was labelled as the next successor to former Barça veteran Sergio Busquets.[12] Good with both feet, Prim is noted to be very exceptional in his passing ability and agility. In defence, he is described to be able to read the play very quickly, allowing him to stop any progress from the opponent's attack and start a counterattack for his side.[13]
