Two members of the Barcelona squad will go out on loan this season.
The club announced on Friday that Douglas Pereira and Sergi Samper will join Sporting Gijón and Granada, respectively. Both players will be loaned for one campaign and have a chance to return to the club next season.
Douglas' case is fascinating, given that the Catalans were looking to get rid of the Brazilian all summer. After failing miserably to impress ever since signing from São Paulo in 2014, Douglas played only eight games in two seasons, and the club website is quick to remind us that Barça NEVER LOST with Douglas on the pitch, which is hilarious.
