    (x-posted from YNT): Yes, he played for FC Damm prior to joining up with Barca this year, and before that he played for CE Tecnofútbol where he tore it up (these are all youth clubs in the greater Barcelona area; I think Damm is sponsored by Damm, the brewer of the ubiquitous Estrella Damm in Barcelona). He's a right footed forward that plays on the right side of the typical Barca front 3.

    Adrià Bernabé (Espanyol), Miguel Angel Ramírez (Betis), Miguel Vega (EF Alboraya), Nico González (Montañeros) y Nils Mortimer (Málaga) are the guys he came in with. Other than Konrad, I've heard people excited about Bernabe (I think correct name is Adrian, even though Adria is a bastante common name). He's playing Infantil B, the same squad as Take who is one of the youth players at the heart of the recent controversy (and incidentally Take is pretty well regarded).

    That #10 is called Anssumane Fati, not American.

    It sounds like he's been in Spain for a while so I think it's safe to assume he does. Perhaps his parents actually did move to Spain for non-football reasons as a child.

    "From Miami to Sant Joan Despi"

    Very nice piece about Konrad's development last year, how he started off alternating starting and sub appearances, and ended up being one of the three key figures on the team.

    Also noteworthy:

    Konrad nació en Miami el 16 de julio de 2001. Allí vivió hasta que sus padres, Conrad yJenifer, decidieron instalarse hace ya cuatro años en Catalunya. El delantero, en su primera temporada de alevín, fichó por el Tecnofutbol, pero despuntó enseguida y laDamm se fijó en él. En el conjunto cervecero siguió progresando y apenas duró un año:Marc Serra y Marcel Sans lo ficharon para el Infantil B del FC Barcelona.

    Konrad was born in Miami in 2001, son of Conrad (heh) and Jen, they lived in Miami until they moved to Spain four years ago. In Catalunya he went from Tecnofutbol to Damm to Infantil B.

    This was the view of Jaume Marcet, a journalist for Barca TV. This guy was just tweeting out Marcet's opinion.
