For the second summer in a row, Barcelona and Girona have been involved in several deals. In 2023, Eric Garcia and Pablo Torre went to Montilivi, with Oriol Romeu going in the opposite direction. And this summer, the three players are back where they were, with Pau Victor also at the Olympic Stadium (he was on loan at Barca Atletic last season).
The signing of Victor for Barcelona and the loan of Romeo to Girona are the two deals that have been completed so far between the two Catalan clubs, and a third is about to fall. Nil Sola of Cadena SER said that a deal is close to take Oscar Urena to Barca Atletic.
Barcelona and Girona are in talks for the loan of winger Óscar Ureña, who has turned down several offers from the second division to join Barça Atlètic. Both sides are optimistic to finalize the agreement in the coming days. @Nilsola10

Urena, who appeared for Girona during their 4-0 defeat at Newcastle United on Friday, is a 21-year-old striker. He rejected offers from Segunda, where he was on loan at Leganes last season, to sign for Barca Atletic.
An agreement should be finalized next week. Barcelona will hope that Urena can follow in the footsteps of Victor, who was able to assert himself as a player of the first team in the course of the pre-season.
