Barcelona midfielder Álex Collado has until the end of the transfer window to decide whether or not he will leave on loan again, according to a report from Mundo Deportivo.
Collado, who spent last season on loan at Granada, returned to the club in preseason but hasn’t done much to impress in his limited minutes during the United States tour. The talented midfielder was hoping for a real chance with Xavi Hernández, but he’s aware now that the competition for minutes will be fierce.
Xavi sees Collado as an interior midfielder, and the likes of Pedri, Gavi, Franck Kessie, Frenkie De Jong (for now) and Nico González are ahead of him in the depth chart for that position.
