The 21-year old has established himself as a key player in the club’s youth and reserve teams in the last three seasons, before being handed a senior debut by Ernesto Valverde last season.

He made a cameo appearance in La Blaugrana’s 3-1 Champions League win over Napoli in August 2020.

The agreement with Barcelona’s Catalan neighbours does not include a purchase clause at the end of 2020-21, but with his current deal at the Camp Nou expiring in July 2021 he could leave.

Barcelona have not made a decision on whether to activate a 12 month extension on his contract, however, with his first team opportunities set to be limited is looks likely be will depart.

Girona have already secured a double loan move from partner club Manchester City for Arijanet Muric and Pablo Moreno.
