Barcelona Reportedly Agree Loan-to-Buy for Uruguayan Teen Patricio Pacifico

The 19-year-old left-back is expected to join Barcelona Atlètic on loan with a reported €1.8 million option to buy.

Overview

Fabrizio Romano reports that Barcelona have reached agreement with Defensor Sporting on a loan that includes add-ons and a clause that could become mandatory under conditions.
Pacifico would begin with Barcelona Atlètic rather than the first team.
The move has been rumored for days, and no official club announcement has been issued yet.
Club-focused reports frame the deal as part of a winter push to bolster Juliano Belletti’s reserve squad.
Barcelona are also linked with Ajay Tavares and Juwensley Onstein, and Al-Ahly have confirmed the signing of young striker Hamza Abdelkarim.
