Basque regional newspaper Noticias de Gipuzkoa claimed last week that Spanish secod division club real Sociedad was interested Barcelona Atlètic attacker Víctor Vázquez (21), who started the pre-season with the first team (read more here).

Barcelona and Sociedad had been holding negotiations on a loan deal. Because Barcelona manager Josep Guardiola has an excellent relationship with Real Sociedad manager Juan Manuel Lillo (read more here), the Basque club was seen as the ideal team for Vázquez to keep on growing.

Asked about the rumours, Vázquez' agent Horacio Gaggioli confirmed the information to the newspaper: "There are several clubs that have shown interest and Real Sociedad is one of them. We're talking now with Barcelona. I'm unaware if the clubs are also directly negotiating.

Víctor has the ambition to play in the first division but who doesn't consider Real Sociedad to be a first division club? I don't know if the two managers have a good relationship but if that's the case, I guess everything will be more easy. But for him to leave before the end of the transfer window, things will have to change quickly since Barcelona now prefers to keep him."

Gaggioli told Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo that he had also been talking with Real Sociedad. In the end, Víctor Vázque stayed with Barcelona Atlètic.
