Barcelona are on the verge of another sale for one of their La Masia talents, according to the latest from the Catalan capital.
As per Jijantes FC, 19-year-old pacey winger Estanis Pedrola is on the verge of a move to Sampdoria. The Genoese side will take Pedrola on loan initially, but will have to pay an obligatory €3m next summer at the end of it.
Barcelona will then hold onto a percentage of any future sale, which Fabrizio Romano puts at 50%. They will also have the option to buy him back for around €7m until the summer of 2025.

This will allow Barcelona a degree of comfort. Even if they feel that Pedrola can be sold for more than €7m after two years in Serie B, it will give them enough control to bring him back in and sell at a profit.
Sampdoria have just sealed agreement to sign Estanis Pedrola from Barcelona, here we go 🔵⭐️🇪🇸
Deal details:
◉ Loan with mandatory buy clause for €3m fee.
◉ Barça have €7m buy back clause until 2025.
◉ Barcelona have 50% sell-on clause.
◉ Medical tests on Tuesday. pic.twitter.com/675rfUE0AK— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 7, 2023
A tall, imposing winger, Pedrola excelled last season at Barca Atletic, with 8 goals in 21 league matches. His pace and the ability to go past defenders could make him a useful forward in Serie B, and he can be particularly devastating if allowed to get into his stride.
