The player whom the signing of Marc Pubill would push out of FC Barcelona

The name of Marc Pubill is beginning to gain weight within the offices of FC Barcelona. The winner of the gold medal with the Olympic team in Paris 2024 is the club's choice as an alternative to Joao Cancelo and the culés are already studying formulas to sign him so that he can be registered. The offer from the Catalans would consist of a paid loan of 5 million euros plus a purchase option for the footballer, which would depend on his performance but would be practically mandatory. Although Almería intended to get rid of the player permanently and Atalanta was close to hiring him, the operation with the Catalans is on track and everything indicates that he will reach a successful conclusion soon.

The Andalusian team would recover the investment made by the full-back with this loan, since Pubill signed for the team in exchange for 5 'kilos' last summer from Levante, which kept 25% of a future sale. The agreement would include a purchase option valued at 12 million euros and the footballer views his landing in Barcelona very favorably, so now everything depends on what both clubs agree upon.

At Can Barça they always had Marc on their radar, although his signing was subject to the possible arrival of Cancelo. Deco had promised the Portuguese to do everything possible to achieve his return to the squad, but Manchester City put many 'obstacles' in the way. Al-Hilal has taken advantage of this situation and would already have an agreement with the 'skyblues', while the Portuguese would be studying the million-dollar offer from the Saudis. Everything indicates that the negotiations with the culés will break down, although the culé sports director has always prioritized hiring him.

If the signing of Pubill is completed, Héctor Fort will be the great 'sacrifice' of the Blaugranas. According to 'SPORT', the young 'pearl' of La Masia has several loan offers both in Spain and abroad and the footballer would already be aware that he does not count for Hansi Flick this season, which is why the Catalans are looking for him arrangement. Koundé will continue to be the owner of the right back although he will also operate as a center back, while Marc would be the specialist although he is still young and has a lot of room for improvement.

The agreement would be very close to be done

Pubill's option began to gain strength a few days ago and the Barça entity has made progress in the negotiations. Sources from the Catalan institution confirm that there may be an agreement although there are certain disagreements when it comes to stipulating the final formula of the operation. If this loan ends up being with a non-obligatory purchase option, Almería could give up on its claims since it is a transfer that, at least, guarantees it around 5 million euros, with the hope that the player evolves well under the orders of Flick and the culés get 100% of their money.
