Patricio Pacifico Transfer from Defensor Sporting to FC Barcelona
Patricio Pacífico is the fourth player to join Barça Atlètic during the winter transfer period after the club and Defensor Sporting agreed to a loan with a purchase option. The loan is free of charge and lasts until the end of June. The agreement includes an option to buy 50% of the player's rights for two million euros, with three further options to acquire 10% each, reaching a potential 80% for a maximum of 3.8 million euros. Defensor Sporting would retain at least 20% unless Barcelona exercises all clauses. The purchase option becomes mandatory if Pacífico plays 10 matches of at least 30 minutes. According to his agent Germán Krasouski, Barcelona has expressed an intention to acquire him regardless of whether he meets the 10-match requirement. If Barcelona executes the buy option, an agreement is in place for a two-and-a-half-year contract, with an option for two additional years. Pacífico is currently recovering from a minor adductor injury and has about 15 days of recovery left.
