Asked about the rumours linking him with a move to Barcelona B (read more here), Ecija forward Nolito (21) has said in a reaction to Catalan sports paper Sport that he hopes the deal will go through:
"I'm waiting to see what happens. Hopefully they can find an agreement. It would be really nice to play with Barcelona because I'm a culé since I was a little boy."
Until the end of June, Nolito's former club Valencia had an option to buy the player back, but at this moment the striker has a contract with third division team Ecija for two more years, including a buyout clause of 600 000 euro°. Barcelona would have made a first bid of 200 000 euro°.
Sevilla sports paper Estadio Deportivo claims that Ecija is willing to let Nolito go for 200 000 euro° plus some variables. Barcelona's first bid would come close to what the club is asking.
José Ramón Alexanko, the head of the Barcelona youth academy, is negotiating the transfer and already talked with the player, who is at this moment on honeymoon n Mexico. Barcelona would have offered a two-year contract with an option for a third year and including high incentives.

Ecija won Segunda División B, Grupo 4, so they were promoted to Segunda División Á for next season. He scored 12 goals last season.
Could be a good signing as he has experience from Segunda División B.
Thanks for that additional info.
But one note: if I unferstnad everything well on their website, Ecija still had to play for promotion to Segunda A and they would have lost against Huesca.
pep:
Not unlikely at all. I was only refering to the league, which they won so I just assumed that they were promoted to Segunda A.
