FC Barcelona could find a place for three of its possible 'discards' for the second half of 2024/25 in one of its neighbors. According to the Catalan newspaper 'El Nacional', Girona has its sights set on several Catalan footballers, two of them with a recent past in the 'albirrojo' team. This is the case of Eric García and Pablo Torre, who played last season on loan at Montilivi.
The third player on Girona's radar would be none other than Ansu Fati. All three are substitutes, but they count for Hansi Flick as part of the inevitable rotations imposed by the suffocating schedule. Both the defender and the midfielder have had several opportunities in the last month of competition. Not in vain, the '24' has been a starter in the last four LaLiga games, while the Cantabrian was also in the XI against Villarreal, Getafe and Osasuna.
Eric García and Pablo Torre still have a place in Girona
In that sense, both Eric and Pablo have the doors open to return to Montilivi in January. The centre-back, in fact, was very close to leaving permanently for Girona last summer, but Flick himself prevented his departure, since the Catalan, although he has no place in the center of the defence, is a very useful replacement as a pivot . Torre, on the other hand, played little last season under Míchel's orders, but has vindicated himself on his return to Barcelona, taking advantage of the minutes that the German coach gives him. This season, the former Racing de Santander already has 1 goal and 1 assist in 5 games.
Míchel wants Ansu Fati to boost Girona's attack
With Ansu Fati, the scenario is totally different. The one from Bissau is still far from his best version, but several LaLiga clubs will try to negotiate his loan in the next transfer window, with Sevilla leading the 'race'. The people of Seville were very interested in the '10' in the summer, although the winger's physical problems made Francisco García Pimienta's men look for other alternatives. At the moment, the 21-year-old striker has only played 23 minutes in the League (against Alavés) and 26 minutes in the Champions League (against Young Boys). If Girona survives the league phase in the Champions League (they have a very difficult time after losing in their first two appearances), the former Brighton could opt for an 'albirroja' offer.
