Enes Sali has been called up to the Romanian national team at the age of 15. He was born in Canada and trained at La Masia, but it was not until he signed for Farul Constanza that scouts and coaches began to realise that he could be one of the great talents of his country's footballing future.

Talent is talent and, if it is preserved, it ends up coming to the fore. This is the message that has reached the offices of several scouts who have their sights set on the Romanian league and who will now have to pay even more attention, as Enes Sali, a boy of just 15 years of age, has been called up to the Romanian national team.

The youngster has Romanian nationality, but was born in Canada. He made early strides with the ball at his feet to such an extent that he caught the eye of Barcelona. He spent some time at La Masia to refine his technique and it is clear that he still treasures it today. A goal with his signature on it that went viral a month ago is pure evidence of that.

He scored it for Farul Constanza, the club where he has been at his best. A few performances for his club have brought him to the attention of the national coach, who has made the player's name even more famous on social media, with fans from all over the world commenting on his inclusion in the squad.

Gica Hagi, his sporting godfather, is one of the big reasons why he is making such a name for himself. He welcomed him into his current squad and trusted him as a very important player despite his age. That is why, on that goal referred to in the second paragraph, he ran to the touchline to give him a hug in celebration.
