Nico is one of the FC Barcelona players who is eagerly awaiting the resolution of his future this summer. The youngster may have a future at Camp Nou in the long term, but the Catalans want to send him on loan this season to help him with his development and growth.
According to SPORT, there are several clubs interested in the midfielder. One of these clubs is Girona, who are going to part with Oriol Romeu, who will come to FC Barcelona in the next few hours.
In the negotiations for Romeu between the two clubs, Girona also raised the subject of Nico, and the Blaugranes believe the Montilivi would be a good ground for the player to improve his game. Similarly, Nico also has strong interest from Portugal, as Porto are keen to get the midfielder in their ranks for the next season.
The Portuguese club is currently lacking a central midfielder, and they see Nico as a perfect addition to their squad. Porto are also in favor of getting Nico on loan, while Barcelona also intends to send Nico to another club only on a loan.
Porto would be an appealing destination for Nico, particularly because the club is participating in the UEFA Champions League next season. This is an important aspect for the player, and his agent, Jorge Mendes, has been in contact with Porto higher-ups for several days now.
Right now, Porto are waiting for Xavi to release the midfielder who is expected to leave for the USA tour with the rest of the team. As things are going now, Nico will go to the USA. But if an agreement is reached during this tour, he may have to leave the expedition and come back to Europe before the rest of his current teammates.
