Furthermore, his personal situation has changed and he’s now willing to leave the Catalan side and try his luck elsewhere. In fact, he would prefer a permanent exit and it remains to be seen if that will be the formula of the deal.
Previous reports have suggested that it could be a loan with an option to buy, but either way, it seems the conditions are there to reach an agreement. It’s just a matter a time, or at least so it seems.
