Gori Gracia is the new name marked on the club's agenda. For now, the RCD Espanyol midfielder is free this summer and the Catalans would like to sign him for Barça Atlètic.
FC Barcelona continues looking to the future. While Hansi Flick sets the roadmap for the first team, Barça Atlètic is still in the race in search of promotion to the LaLiga Hypermotion, so the club is working in parallel to reinforce the reserve team's squad. For this reason, those responsible for this department have pointed out the name of Gori Gracia as a possible addition to the ranks of Rafa Márquez's team.
The Espanyol 'B' midfielder is free at the end of the season, and the club welcomes his arrival without the need for a transfer. The quality of the 22-year-old player is highly valued at Can Barça, where they have him high on the agenda for future prospects.
Gregorio Gracia Sánchez 'Gori' has left behind the knee problems that he had in recent years. And the midfielder tore his cruciate ligaments on two occasions. However, the player has shone again on the pitch this season, making it clear that these impediments are a thing of the past and that he is ready to continue growing as a footballer.
The player returned to the playing fields at the end of 2023 and since then he has done nothing but leave good feelings. His performance was excellent from the beginning, although in recent months he has assumed the role of a catalyst in the second half. Espanyol wanted to sign his continuity, but 'Gori' had another plan for his future and decided not to renew his contract with the institution, which is why his minutes were reduced.
With experience in the First Division
Gracia already knows what it's like to play in LaLiga EA Sports. The midfielder debuted with the parakeets first team in August 2021 in the league premiere against Osasuna. However, a few weeks later, when the player was already fully involved in the first team, a cruciate ligament injury would be the beginning of a bitter period. With all these problems forgotten, the culés are studying the signing of him, although it remains to be seen how it conditions a possible promotion or not to Barça Atlètic's LaLiga Hypermotion.
