Barça is closely monitoring the season of its loaned players. Of these four players who are on loan at other teams, only Álex Valle has a chance of returning.
The FC Barcelona is closely monitoring the season of its four loaned players. The Blaugrana club receives regular reports on the performances of Oriol Romeu (Girona), Clément Lenglet (Atlético de Madrid), Vitor Roque (Real Betis), and Álex Valle (Como 1907), and although all of them have generally shown a good level throughout the season, only the left-back has serious chances of returning.
Despite his position being occupied by Alejandro Balde and Gerard Martín, the sports management really likes his profile, so unless there is a significant offer or the payment of his clause, he could be one of the club's reinforcements next summer, while the other loaned players would be looking for an exit.
📊 Álex Valle - Celtic of Glasgow and Como 1907
- Matches played: 22
- Starts: 7 in the Scottish Premiership, 3 in Serie A, 2 in the Scottish League Cup, and 1 in the Champions League.
- Goals: 0
- Assists: 5
- Minutes played: 1,262
Valle started the season on loan at Celtic, but last winter he moved to Como 1907, also on loan. The player did not find the desired regularity in Glasgow and headed to Serie A, where Fàbregas is starting to give him a leading role. The defender has a contract until 2026 with Barça and a clause of 6 million euros, but the culés are keeping an eye on him and do not rule out his return.
📊 Oriol Romeu - Girona FC
- Matches played: 21
- Starts: 12 in LaLiga and 5 in the Champions League.
- Goals: 0
- Assists: 0
- Minutes played: 1,396
The 33-year-old pivot has a contract until 2026 with Barça, but the reality is that the Blaugrana already consider his time at Spotify Camp Nou to be over. The player remains important for Míchel at Girona, although with less prominence than in the past, and the idea of the culés is to provide as many facilities as possible to the albirrojos to continue counting on the midfielder, as long as the sports management in Girona wants to extend his stay.
📊 Vitor Roque - Real Betis
- Matches played: 31
- Starts: 14 in LaLiga, 2 in the Copa del Rey, and 2 in the Conference League.
- Goals: 7
- Assists: 2
- Minutes played: 1,640
Roque arrived at Benito Villamarín on a loan until the end of the season with an option for another. The Andalusians reserved a purchase right, but the forward is not meeting expectations and his role has become secondary after the signing of 'Cucho' Hernández. Palmeiras wants to take advantage of this situation to sign him permanently, but Barça expects to receive 27 million euros for his transfer and, as of today, negotiations have not started.
📊 Clément Lenglet - Atlético de Madrid
- Matches played: 20
- Starts: 13 in LaLiga, 1 in the Copa del Rey, and 5 in the Champions League.
- Goals: 2
- Assists: 1
- Minutes played: 1,691
The 29-year-old Frenchman has earned a place in Diego Pablo Simeone's starting eleven at Atlético de Madrid. The center-back has found his best version again at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano and the mattress club hopes to continue counting on him beyond this season, whether through a transfer or negotiating another loan, and Barça views his definitive departure very positively.
