Teenage prodigy snubs Real in favour of Camp Nou
Reports in Spain claim Barcelona have snapped up South Korean starlet Park Sheng Ho on a five-year deal.
The 13-year-old is regarded as one of the most promising prospects in world football, with Europe's biggest clubs falling over themselves to secure his signature.
Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid were always favourites to land his services, with it quickly becoming a two-way tussle between the arch-enemies.
Barca appear to have prevailed in that particular battle, with the Asian ace opting for Camp Nou over Santiago Bernabeu.
Park, who has been dubbed 'the Korean Messi', first caught the eye of European scouts during a youth tournament in 2009.
It was apparent that he possessed great ability and could be a potential star of the future.
His promise had also been noted in his homeland, with reports suggesting sportswear giants Nike have already signed him up.
Park is, however, now set to join up with the Barca academy, having impressed the club's coaches during a recent visit to Catalunya.
