Sporting de Gijón has shown interest in signing 18-year-old Oriol Pallàs, a young winger who recently finished his tenure with Barcelona's Juvenil A team. During last season, he trained occasionally under Hansi Flick's management.
Pallàs spent eleven years in Espanyol's youth system before moving to Barcelona's Juvenil squad. He stood out among academy talents due to his technical skills and attacking speed, particularly in one-on-one situations.
According to La Voz de Asturias and Mundo Deportivo, Sporting has been compiling reports on the player for some time and established negotiations for his incorporation into their second team, Sporting Atlético, which will compete in Tercera RFEF. These discussions are reported to be advanced.
His contract with Barcelona included two optional years that the club initially intended to exercise but later decided against, allowing for this potential move.
Sporting's interest aligns with their approach to signing young prospects to gain experience in lower divisions.
