Barcelona midfielder Alena set for Camp Nou exit, Koeman confirms

Barcelona have given midfielder Carles Alena permission to leave the club this month, with the player expected to move on loan.

The 23-year-old La Masia product has struggled to establish himself under Ronald Koeman this season, with only one of his five appearances across La Liga and the Champions League coming in the starting XI.

The midfielder's career best in appearances for Barca came in the 2018-19 campaign, when he played 27 times in all competitions for the Blaugrana.

Alena spent the second half of last season on loan at Real Betis, and Getafe have been linked with his services on a deal that will likely run until the end of the season.
