As Daniel Arrazi pondered his future, the weight of his decision loomed large. With the England U-17 team preparing for the World Cup, his nights were often filled with thoughts of where he could best develop his skills. After careful consideration, Jorge Mendes compiled a list of interested potential clubs renowned for nurturing young talent.

Ajax Amsterdam (Netherlands) Ajax's illustrious history of developing world-class players like Johan Cruyff, Dennis Bergkamp, Frenkie de Jong, and Matthijs de Ligt made it a top contender. The idea of honing his skills at De Toekomst, the famous youth academy, was incredibly appealing.

FC Barcelona (Spain) La Masia, Barcelona's youth academy, had produced legends like Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandez, and Andres Iniesta. The prospect of training in such a prestigious environment and learning from some of the best in the world was tempting.

Borussia Dortmund (Germany) Dortmund's reputation for giving young players first-team opportunities was unmatched. The success stories of Jadon Sancho, Erling Haaland, and Jude Bellingham were proof that this was a club where young talents could shine.

Manchester United (England) The rich history of Manchester United's academy, famously known as the "Class of '92," was legendary. Players like David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, and Paul Scholes were products of this system, and recent successes like Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood showed that the club continued to trust its youth.

Arsenal (England) Arsenal was known for giving young players a chance to prove themselves. The recent rise of Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe demonstrated that the club valued and developed its young talent.

Chelsea (England) Though historically criticized for not utilizing their youth academy, Chelsea had recently turned a new leaf. The emergence of players like Mason Mount, Reece James, and Tammy Abraham showcased the club's commitment to its young players.

Bayern Munich (Germany) Bayern, while often buying established stars, also had a strong youth program. The success of Thomas Müller and the recent breakthrough of Jamal Musiala made Bayern an attractive option.

Sporting CP (Portugal) Sporting CP's fame for producing Cristiano Ronaldo, Luís Figo, and more recently Bruno Fernandes, highlighted their excellent youth development program. This was a club that knew how to nurture raw talent.

Atalanta (Italy) Atalanta's youth development had gained praise in recent years. The club had produced talents like Roberto Gagliardini and Mattia Caldara, showing their commitment to developing young players.

RB Leipzig (Germany) RB Leipzig was known for developing young players and giving them a platform to shine in the Bundesliga and Europe. The club's focus on youth made it an appealing destination.
