Kazakhstani winger officially becomes Barcelona player

Kazakhstani winger Mendikanov has officially joined the Barcelona football club, fulfilling a lifelong ambition. He expressed his pride in signing with "the club of my life" via social media, sharing photos from the contract signing ceremony.

Mendikanov arrived in Spain in 2022, immersing himself in the local football system. His talent was evident during his time with Cerdanyola in a regional league, which led to interest from several clubs. He then moved to Sant Cugat in early 2026, quickly becoming a key player on the right flank.

His performances attracted significant attention, ultimately leading him to choose Barcelona over other offers. According to Spanish sources, Mendikanov has already participated in several training sessions with the Catalan club. This early integration aims to help the young player adapt swiftly to the demands of Barcelona's academy and prepare for the upcoming season with one of the world's top teams.
