So seems like he made the top 132 players list, then failed to crack the top 77, or something like that.
Also read somewhere he's in the Spanish U-16 team.
Found an English article about the 132 players mentioned above:

Spotlight on Youth in La Liga
The Case for a Level Playing Field
Better late than never? Well, the transfer of Jon Miquel Toral to Arsenal from Barçelona has come and gone. Another youngster has been lured to the money and glamour of the Premier league. Toral is half English, so this could be considered a different case than Cesc, Merida, among others. My biggest pet peeve is the disparity amongst federations aka the legal age that someone can sign a European player to a professional contract.
I thought that UEFA was trying to level the playing field and encourage European players to develop locally with the recent Home Grown Rule (see my previous blog from earlier this year). I would like to see canteranos stay at their youth club until the age of 18. At that time, they could decide to sign a professional contract, or move on. I was under the impression that UEFA was going to do something to protect youth and the development of players. Obviously I was wrong.
Record Buyout Clause for a Youngster
Up in the north, Athletic Bilbao continues to weave their magic by scouting, pinching, and developing their young. This month, Athletic broke all records by signing young 16 year old defender Aymeric Laporte, a French Basque to a semi professional contract with a buyout clause of 18 million! The contract runs through 2014. The club has high hopes for the defender, who is breaking all records in the juvenil ranks.
Athletic decided recently to sign their cadets and juvenil players to semi professional contracts with buyout clauses, to fight off the big clubs like Liverpool, PSG, and Arsenal, from stealing their future. They want to avoid what happened in the case of San Jose and Berchiche who were signed by Liverpool and Tottenham for only 400,000 Euros each. San Jose was repurchased later for 2.7M Euros by ACB. Since then, Bilbo has contracted Iker Guarrotxena (young midfielder), Eric Saborit (youth side from Espanyol), Iñigo Ruiz de Galarreta (cadet brought midfielder Eibar) and Jonas Ramalho (central cadet). Each player has a 10M Euro buyout clause.
Football Draft 2011
Each year the Spanish FA, and EA Sports recognize the cantera and top young players in Spanish football. Players are nominated and selected by a prestigious group of ex coaches, staff, and players. The winners are honored at the end of the season at a gala event. Last year the winners were Bojan Krkic (Barça), Sergio Canales (Racing Santander), Dani Parejo (Getafe) , David De Gea (Atlético Madrid), Cesar Azpilicueta (Osasuna), and Alvaro Domínguez (Atlético Madrid).
Among the selected players being nominated this year are previous winners Bojan, Canales, and De Gea, as well as Thiago, who just signed with the Barça first team. Lesser know players such as Marc Bartra, a defender who Guardiola has already debuted in Primera, Real Madrid canterano Pablo Sarabia and Valencia starlet Isco. Special praise was given to the great youth work occurring at Real Sociedad, Espanyol, Sevilla and Atletico Madrid.
