Report: Denis Suárez to stay at Sevilla for second year of loan

It looks like Denis Suárez will have to develop a little more until he returns to Barcelona.

According to reports from Mundo Deportivo, the Blaugrana club has decided not to call the midfielder back in the first year of his loan to Sevilla, so the 21-year-old will remain in Andalusia for the full two years of his contract with the Rojiblancos.

There was a bit of expectations among sources that Barça could call him back this summer in light of the transfer ban, but with Ivan Rakitic and Rafinha Alcântara's amazing performances this season, coach Luis Enrique is beyond satisfied with the showing of his current midfielders, so he would rather see Denis continue to develop in a bigger role away from Barça instead of bringing him in too soon to compete for a spot in a deep squad.
