A Spanish under-17 international, Luzzi is of Brazilian origin and has been training with the Rayo senior squad since the age of 15. He was signed for La Masia under the recommendation of director of development football, Xavier Vilajoana, and will be under the guidance of academy director Patrick Kluivert.
“Fast and agile, [Luzzi] stands out due to his nose for goal, which he has demonstrated by being top scorer in all of the junior categories he has played in,” Barça’s statement said.
