Asturias regional newspaper El Comercio claims that Primera División club Sporting de Gijón is interested in signing Barcelona Atlètic (previously known as Barcelona B) left wing attacker and Israeli international Gai Assulin (17) on loan.Because Barcelona has planned to keep Gai at Barcelona Atlètic to be able to follow his progress more closely, it will be difficult for Sporting to close the deal. Barcelona would be thinking about letting Gai follow the same program as Bojan last year, meaning introducing him step by step into the first team.
Sporting will try to convince Barcelona by proposing a loan deal that will give the player the chance to make his debut in the Liga, something the player would also prefer as was proven when Gai showed his disappointment about not being able to start the pre-season with the first team (read more here).
Gai meanwhile didn't report back for training yesterday at the start of the pre-season of Barcelona Atlètic. Because there was some speculation in the press about Gai having decided on his own to prolonge his holiday, Barcelona put out an official statement saying that Gai was still in Israel trying to avoid the obligation of a two-year military service.
