Club career

Barcelona

Born in Castellbisbal, Barcelona, Catalonia, Prim started playing football at the age of 4 with his hometown club before signing for Barcelona in 2012. [2] He was named captain in the youth squads for Barça and rose to the Juvenil A squad after starting on his debut against Viktoria Plzeň in the UEFA Youth League. [3] [4] [5]

Despite having been recently promoted to the U19 side during the 2022–23 season, Prim was named as an unused substitute in Barça's 2–1 defeat to Celta on 4 June, [6] and was one of six youth players to make their first team debut in a friendly match against Vissel Kobe just two days later. [7] In addition to his debut, Prim made his Barcelona B debut on 27 August 2023 in a 1–0 defeat to SD Logroñés in their opening match of the 2023–24 Primera Federación. [8] [9]

Al Sadd

On 1 July 2025, Prim joined Qatar Stars League club Al Sadd SC. He signed a contract with the club until 2029. [10]

International career

A youth international for Spain, Prim was named in the Spain U17 squad for the 2023 UEFA European Under-17 Championship in Hungary, [11] and later that year was included in the squad for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Indonesia. [12] He also played for the under-19 team. [13]

In August 2023, Prim was left out of the Spain U18 selection due to first team commitments under Xavi. [14] [15]

Style of play

Integrated into the philosophy of Barcelona, Prim was labelled as the next successor to former Barça veteran Sergio Busquets. [16] Good with both feet, Prim is noted to be very exceptional in his passing ability and agility. In defence, he is described to be able to read the play very quickly, allowing him to stop any progress from the opponent's attack and start a counterattack for his side. [17]
