Girona have set their sights on a Barcelona midfielder and are planning an ambitious loan deal to bring him to Montilivi.
The Catalan rivals are believed to be exploring a loan deal for one of Barça’s young midfield options, hoping to use their good relations with the Camp Nou hierarchy to open the door.
For Barcelona, the idea is delicate: they want their academy talent to develop with minutes, but they also cannot afford to weaken their own squad without a clear sporting reason.
The player at the centre of the latest approach is Marc Casado, with reports saying Girona have made contact again in an effort to take the Barcelona midfielder on loan, as reported by Fichajes.
Casado is appreciated at Barcelona for his intelligence, energy, and tactical discipline, but the club is not treating him as a simple spare piece.
Barcelona are said to prefer either keeping him in the squad or only considering a permanent sale if a strong offer arrives, which makes Girona’s loan idea difficult to complete.
Loaning him to Girona could help with development, but Barça must weigh that against the risk of losing control over a player they still value for the future.
Girona, meanwhile, is trying to repeat a model that has worked before with Barcelona-linked players, offering a nearby environment, familiar football, and a realistic path to minutes.
That makes the proposal attractive in theory, but Barça’s stance remains the key obstacle.
Unless the sporting picture changes, the transfer is more likely to stay as an idea than become a done deal.
For now, Barcelona holds the stronger hand, and Girona will have to wait to see whether the market or the player himself changes the equation.
The story fits a wider pattern in Catalonia: Girona keeps knocking, Barcelona keeps deciding, and the future of young talent stays tied to the bigger club’s plans.
