"Barcelona" intends to extend the loan period of "Defensor Sporting" defender Patricio Pacifico. Sport24.az reports that this was reported by the "Mundo Deportivo" publication.
According to the source, the 20-year-old Uruguayan has made a good impression since arriving in Catalonia, which gives him a good chance to stay in the team permanently. However, a few days ago, he tore his anterior cruciate ligament and will be out of green fields for 8-9 months.
It is reported that negotiations have already been held with "Defensor Sporting" regarding a possible extension of the lease term. This will give the young player another chance to sign a permanent contract after returning to the field.
"Barcelona" hopes to resolve the situation by the end of the 2025/26 season. The Catalans want Pacifico to remain under the supervision of the club's medical department during his injury period. He is expected to return to the field in early 2027.
