If the necessary documentation is exchanged and signed on time, Barcelona will have finally managed to incorporate Los Angeles FC's defender Mamadou Fall on loan. The Catalan team will, if nothing goes wrong, secure the 20-year-old center-back on a loan deal with an option to buy. Early in the morning, the operation seemed to be falling through, but negotiations were resumed later in the day, and in the end, Barcelona signed the Senegalese player.

Villarreal, which had already had the player in its ranks, was favorite to sign Fall. However, Barcelona intervened in the last days, considering that a player with his profile would be a good fit for Rafa Márquez's B team. Standing at 1.89 meters in height, Fall has great potential ahead and has been showing impressive defensive skills.

The details of the agreement are not yet known, but it appears that the purchase option will revolve around six million euros, depending on the fulfillment or non-fulfillment of certain variables.
