Bryan Gil was one of the outgoing summer transfers that needed to happen one way or another because he was absolutely not in Ange Postecoglou’s plans for the season. He ended up going to Girona on loan, reportedly with a purchase option of €15m if he were to impress enough by the end of the season.
Now, according to Spanish daily AS, he might have done just that. AS is reporting (via SportWitness) that Gil has done well enough that Girona is already considering triggering his purchase option. That’s unlikely to happen this month as Girona has plenty of time to make that decision, but Gil has sufficiently impressed them and they, perhaps surprisingly, have the cash to make the deal.
Gil has been a regular starter for Girona, with two goals and three assists in just over 1000 minutes so far this season. He’s not setting the world on fire (npxG+xa/90 of 0.39) but he’s been a plus add for Girona, who are currently a respectable eighth in the La Liga table.
