Last summer, FC Barcelona loaned out the seven players who, for various reasons, had no place in Xavi Hernández’s squad. Some like Umtiti, Trincão, Lenglet or Dest were not included in the coach’s plans. Other youngsters who went through the subsidiary such as Collado, Abde or Nico went out in search of minutes with the option of returning to Barça next season. Currently only Abde has options to stay. The rest are looking for a way out, and the majority, in the form of a transfer.
Ez Abde: 21 years old, contract until 2026
The 21-year-old Moroccan winger renewed with Barça until 2026 with a 200 million clause before leaving on loan to Osasuna, with whom he has scored seven goals. One of them qualified the Pamplona team for the Copa del Rey final. “He has matured a lot. He has done well going to Osasuna. I’m very happy. He has made a difference in many games, ”said Xavi, who has already told him that he is waiting for him on July 10, the date on which the preseason will start. Unless there is an offer that cannot be rejected by both parties, Abde will wear the Barça shirt next season. Betis has been interested in him, whose sports director is Ramon Planes, the person who signed him for the Barcelona subsidiary. But Betis intends to incorporate him on loan.
Umtiti: 29 years old, contract until 2026
In January 2022, Barça renewed Samuel Umtiti’s contract. Until 2026, three more years than the central office had stipulated. The pact entailed that the Frenchman would lower his token in exchange for staying more years in the team, which allowed the registration of Ferran Torres. He was not part of Xavi’s plans and the idea was to give him up then, but he was injured and had to undergo surgery for a fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot. Last summer he went on loan to Italian Lecce without a purchase option. He ended up being the undisputed starter. In total he has played 24 games in Serie A. The club hopes to be able to transfer him this summer. On the table he has the interest of Olympique de Lyon, the club in which he was formed, but also of other competitive teams in Italy.
Lenglet: 27 years, contract until 2026
The French central defender was also left without a place at Barça after the arrivals of Christensen and Koundé and left on loan to Tottenham, where he scored the goal that qualified them for the Champions League round of 16. Lenglet has finished the course with 24 starts in the Premier League and the English team is interested in incorporating him, but not at any price. At the moment, the London club announced that he is returning to Barça since the spurs’ tactic is to delay the operation to reduce the transfer. Other options will also be looked at since the defense has a salary of more than 10 million.
Nico González: 21 years old, contract until 2026
Before leaving on loan to Valencia, the youth squad renewed until June 2026 with a clause of 1,000 million. In January he fractured a toe on his left foot and was out for two months after alternating starts and substitutions with Gattuso. He reappeared on March 13 against Osasuna, leaving very good feelings with Rubén Baraja on the bench. He has finished the course with 26 participations in the League, 18 as a starter. This course Nico could go back on loan, in this case to Betis. Xavi doesn’t want to let him out of his sight, but he doesn’t see him as a replacement for Busquets either.
Àlex Collado: 23 years old, contract until 2024
With two goals and one assist in 15 games, the 23-year-old striker trained at La Masia has hardly played a leading role at Elche, a recently relegated team. His contract with Barcelona ends in June 2024, and the footballer, who knows that Xavi does not have him, is probing the market. He has received interest from clubs in the League, from Greece, Scotland and from outside Europe.
Sergiño Dest: 22 years old, contract until 2025
The American winger, who was never liked by Xavi, went on loan to Milan with a purchase option of 20 million euros that the Italian club has rejected. There are two arguments that lead Milan to not want to continue betting on the side. On the one hand, the high salary of the footballer, which compromises the team’s salary limit, and, on the other, his performance. He has played a total of 14 matches.
Francisco Trincão: 23 years old, contract until 2025
The 23-year-old Portuguese winger went to Sporting Lisbon last summer. He did it on loan, but with a mandatory purchase option of 10 million euros. To close the deal, Sporting paid three million upon his arrival and this June he will pay the remaining seven. Barça reserved 50% of a future sale.
