Real Betis have made a formal loan offer for 21-year-old Barcelona youngster

Barcelona have opened the doors for Nico Gonzalez to leave on loan this summer and according to a report from SPORT, Real Betis have already made a formal offer to secure the young midfielder’s services.

The 21-year-old La Masia product spent the last season away on loan at Valencia given that he would not have enough opportunities at Barcelona. His time at Mestalla was not the best as the Spaniard endured some injuries. But he still looked good in the games he played, especially towards the end of the season.

Now returning to Barça, Nico once again does not have a spot in Xavi’s plans given the plethora of options in midfield, especially with the signing of Ilkay Gundogan.

And with the manager not looking at the 21-year-old as an option for the pivot position, the Blaugrana have opened the door for him to leave the club on loan for another season.

The same has already been conveyed to Nico’s entourage and as things stand, the club have already received a formal offer from Real Betis to sign the young midfielder on loan.

It is claimed that the Verdiblancos would be willing to take on the youngster’s entire salary and have gotten in touch with his representative, Jorge Mendes, to try and work out a deal.

Nico looks at the idea of joining Real Betis on loan favourably as he would be getting a chance to play European football next season.

The operation could progress in the coming days and be finalised in early July, with all parties seemingly on the same page.
