Barcelona starlet aware of interest from La Liga outfit, club could be open to loan exit

Barcelona winger Estanis Pedrola is one to keep a keen eye on. Having scored seven goals in 16 outings for Barça Atletic this season, the 19-year-old attacker has attracted heavy interest from several first-division teams in the country.

Interestingly enough, his performances have not gone unnoticed with Xavi as well. In order to show their faith in the 19-year-old, he has been continuously training with the senior team this season.

Pedrola’s ongoing deal with Barcelona runs until 2024 but it is believed that the deal is extendable until 2026. 

Given his performances for the subsidiary team this season, several first-division teams have shown interest in his acquisition and as reported before, Osasuna happen to be one of them.

Now, according to Spanish news publication Mundo Deportivo, the player is aware of the interest he has generated, but his focus is on the continuity with Barcelona and helping Barça Atletic to qualify for the playoffs.

It must be noted that Barcelona and Osasuna have a good working relationship, having already been involved in one loan deal this season involving Ez Abde.

The 21-year-old winger has had a good amount of minutes this season and Barcelona are of the idea that the formula can be repeated with Pedrola as well.

This means the team from Catalonia could actually be open to letting Pedrola leave on loan to Osasuna so that he can come back with greater maturity and a better chance of playing for the senior team.

As far as Barcelona are concerned, they are keen to secure his services for a longer tenure and reports have it that the management has already started thinking about making an offer.

There are chances that he might be included in Barcelona’s pre-season tour of the United States, but if he is to depart on loan, one can expect him to sign an extension before leaving.
