Asked about the rumours linking him with a loan move because of passport problems (read more here), Barcelona Atlètic wing attacker and Israel youth international Gai Assulin (18) has said in an interview with Israeli sports site One that he will probably receive his Spanish passport later this month:

"I still haven't received my passport but as far as I know there is no problem. On the contrary, I know that I'm supposed to receive my Spanish passport in a week or two and there are no problems expected. My father did not return with me to Israel and stayed in Barcelona to take care of the passport-related issues.

Regarding a possible move, that is totally untrue. Barcelona is my home, it is my team and I don't want to go anywhere else. There's no reason for me to leave and I'm not even thinking about it. I wish I will arrive to the first team's training camp. In a few days I will know if it will happen and I hope it will, I don't want to talk too much, it's best to wait and see..."
