FC Barcelona is leaving very good feelings under the command of Xavi Hernández after the World Cup in Qatar. The culés achieved their first title of the year against Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup and remain leaders in the League, in addition to being among the best four teams in the Copa del Rey and with great aspirations in the Europa League. Nevertheless, within the club they closely follow the day-to-day life of their players on loan, with some taking center stage while others are ostracized.
Abde, Health
The international with Morocco is being a great boost for Jagoba Arrasate’s team, completing great performances such as the Cup quarterfinals, where he scored a great goal in extra time that allowed the Navarrese to stay alive in the competition. In addition, he has participated in seven of the eight commitments after the World Cup, which leaves a good feeling for him to return to the Spotify Camp Nou once his loan ends.
Clement Lenglet, Tottenham
His future is likely to keep him tied to Tottenham in 2023/24, since Barça’s defensive plot is fully made in all its lines. At 27 years old, He has played six of the eight games for the ‘spurs’ after the break, although the results have not accompanied him despite being a solid piece in the background.
Sergiño Dest, AC Milan
With a purchase option valued at 20 million euros, It seems unlikely that Milan will not try to lower it to take over Dest’s services permanently. The North American had a difficult start to the course but since the World Cup ended He has been in five of the six commitments of the ‘rossoneri’, acting on the left wing with a changed leg.
Francisco Trincao, Sporting Lisbon
Everything indicates that his future will remain in Portugal. Trincao is an indisputable piece for Sporting and since the season started again he has seen the net twice, which confirms his good moment in the Primeira Liga. Barça will keep 50% of their rights if the Portuguese activate their purchase option for seven million euros during the summer.
Alex Collado, Elche
Luck has not been with him since he joined the ranks of Barcelona’s first team. His loan to Elche was projected as an opportunity to shine and convince Xavi to count on him again in the next preseason. Nonetheless, The midfielder was injured in training and will be out for three months, which does not bode very well for your future. With a contract valid until 2024, everything indicates that he will be on the exit ramp in the transfer window.
Nico Gonzalez, Valencia
One of the candidates to take over from Sergio Busquets. Nico played 13 games for Gennaro Gattuso at Valencia but fractured the fifth metatarsal in his left foot, which has left him in ostracism since the beginning of the year. He is expected to return to the pitch in March.
Samuel Umtiti, Lecce
Last is Samuel Umtiti. The defender has been recovering his confidence and was leading the Italian defense, chaining several consecutive starts in Serie A. However, he suffered an injury in the match against Hellas Verona, although it does not appear to be anything serious. It is likely that he will continue his sports career in the transalpine team.
