Moments of tension are being experienced at Girona, which is facing a season of many contrasts with Michel on the bench. After a historic campaign in which they managed to qualify for the Champions League, the Catalan team has lost strength following the departure of players who were key. In this sense, it is evident that Girona has not managed to maintain the same level of competitiveness and Michel, aware of the need to strengthen his squad, is already thinking about signings.
The Spanish coach has set his sights on the summer market to find solutions that will allow Girona to return to the fight for European spots. In that process, Michel has identified two FC Barcelona players as possible additions who can make a difference. From the offices of the Barça club, they do not look unfavorably on the possibility of negotiating the potential departure of these two young talents, especially if the offers convince Deco.
Operation Exit: Girona Tightens
According to sources close to the club, one of the footballers who interests Michel the most is Ansu Fati. At 22 years old, the young Barça striker still hasn't found the consistency he needs to unleash his full potential and has yet to reconnect with that version that dazzled the world. For the coach, the arrival of Ansu would represent a quality leap for a team looking to regain the offensive spark it lost with the departure of Savinho and Dovbyk.
Girona's other major target is Pablo Torre, who was already on loan at the Catalan team last season. The Barça attacking midfielder has not managed to establish himself in the first team and has had a residual role both with Xavi and Flick on the Barça bench. In this sense, Girona sees him as an ideal reinforcement to strengthen the midfield and add more offensive options.
Negotiations Underway
FC Barcelona is open to negotiating the departure of both players, aware that they need minutes to continue growing. With this in mind, Girona is already preparing their additions, and a loan with a purchase option would be the most viable formula to achieve them. Although FC Barcelona's priority is to maintain control over their futures, the possibility of sending them to Girona presents itself as a beneficial solution for all parties.
On one hand, both Ansu and Pablo Torre could continue developing in La Liga and, on the other hand, Michel would obtain quality reinforcements. All this without mentioning that the footballers would have the opportunity to prove their worth in a less demanding environment. Thus, it is expected that negotiations will continue to progress and reach a successful conclusion.
