FC Barcelona continues planning its squad for next season, still facing several unknowns. In order for new arrivals to come, some players must leave. This is a situation Gerard Piqué intends to take advantage of. The owner of Andorra has a very good relationship with Joan Laporta and is trying to make deals that could benefit both clubs.
Some time ago, it was revealed that Piqué has put on Barça's table the possibility of creating synergies between both teams. With the relegation of the 'B' team to Segunda Federación (third tier, 3rd division), combined with Andorra's promotion to LaLiga Hypermotion, the owner of the Andorran team has offered the option of giving a place for the top La Masia prospects to grow.
For many Barcelona academy players, Segunda Federación is too small and they need to grow. This is where Gerard Piqué comes in, offering a place to grow and become important in the second tier of Spanish soccer.
Gerard Piqué requests two La Masia prospects
In recent hours, SPORT has discovered that Andorra has shown interest in the situation of the first Fernándezez, Toni and Guille. On the table for both is the possibility of a loan without a purchase option, with the chance to compete regularly in Spain's Segunda División (second tier, 2nd division).
Both Toni Fernández and Guille are scheduled to start preseason with Barça's first team. In principle, they are expected to travel to Asia to try to convince Hansi Flick. If they do not achieve their goal, it seems both are set to leave. Barça would view this move favorably.
FC Barcelona is clear that it doesn't want to lose control over Toni and Guille Fernández, and Gerard Piqué's proposal is very well received. There is a positive view of creating synergies with an Andorra that plays the "Barça style" and wants to give maximum trust to the youngest from La Masia.
A completed move to Andorra
One move already completed between both clubs is the loan of Hungarian goalkeeper Yako. He recently renewed his contract when he seemed to be on his way out, and a place has been found for him to keep growing. The idea is for him to have continuity with his move to Andorra, having been a key piece in Belletti's Juvenil A this past season.
Gerard Piqué remains alert to be able to make these types of deals, with the help of a Joan Laporta who views it favorably.
