On Tuesday, Jijantes FC cameras caught footage of a meeting between Barcelona's sporting director, Deco, and Mallorca's sporting director and deputy sporting director, Pablo Ortells and Aritz Aduriz. 

Mallorca and Barcelona have developed a relationship this summer since they negotiated the transfer of Pablo Torre to Mallorca and seem to be in the market for more Barcelona academy graduates.

This meeting was about three separate Barcelona players who have been linked to moves away from the club and the club is looking to loan.

Hector Fort

Hector Fort has been one of the names consistently linked to a move away from the club as he's likely to get no minutes this season unless a serious injury happens.

A constant link has been one to Mallorca as the club are looking to sell right back Pablo Maffeo and bring in the young Barca talent.

It is unsure if Hector Fort is open to the move but it's clear Barcelona want to loan him out and Mallorca have been interested in his services all summer 

Jan Virgili and Dani Rodriguez

Dani Rodriguez has technically played with the first team already, but his one and only game lasted 38 minutes as the youngster dislocated his shoulder.

Jan Virgili hasn't played for the first team yet but has been a highly rated winger that's seen as too good for the second team but not yet ready for the first team.

Whether it be one or both, both these players could greatly benefit from a loan move to a La Liga side to gain experience and earn a spot on the first team.
