There are currently 6 players on loan from Barcelona.
Let's review their season so far and predict their transfer fate.
Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid)
Goals: 8.
Assists: 5.
Griezmann has been a regular starter under Diego Simeone. The Frenchman has played a key role in Atletico's Champions League campaign so far, scoring 4 goals and recording 2 assists in this competition.
The 31-year-old picked up a muscle injury and was unavailable from December to February, but now he's back into the starting eleven.
Transfer prediction: Atletico Madrid are going to extend his loan for one more season before buying him out in 2023.
Philippe Coutinho (Aston Villa)
Goals: 4.
Assists: 3.
The Brazilian has only been on loan since January, and he's already having some big impact on Aston Villa's performances.
The 29-year-old is clearly happy about his Premier League comeback where he feels like home.
Transfer prediction: Aston Villa would buy Coutinho out for €40m.
Miralem Pjanic (Besiktas)
Goals: 0.
Assists: 4.
The Bosnian has been an important player for the Turkish side, yet his loan spell is undershadowed by recurring injuries.
The 31-year-old spent 79 days on the sidelines and is currently injured as well.
Transfer prediction: Besiktas would like to buy the midfielder out at the end of his loan spell, but nothing is guaranteed as it would be a risky operation at every level.
Francisco Trincao (Wolves)
Goals: 2.
Assists: 1.
Trincao is usually used as an impact sub by Bruno Lage.
In recent weeks, however, the Portuguese has started to deliver some decent performances for Wolverhampton. Against Leeds United, he scored and assisted after making the starting eleven.
Transfer prediction: Trincao would come back to Barcelona, but the Catalans would sell him to a Portuguese club like Sporting Lisbon or Benfica; the winger could also be used as a bargaining chip in the deal to sign Adama Traore.
Inaki Pena (Galatasaray)
Matches: 8.
Conceded goals: 11.
Galatasaray have been impressed with Barcelona's third-choice goalkeeper so far – he was particularly great in the Europa League clashes against Blaugrana.
Transfer prediction: Barcelona would keep Pena next season to make him the team's second-choice goalie after Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
Alex Collado (Granada)
Goals: 0.
Assists: 1.
Collado hasn't impressed much since joining Granada in January. His latest outing against Alaves, however, was a really great one as he put in a complete attacking performance that day, also recording an assist.
Transfer prediction: Barcelona would sell the winger in the summer.
