The young midfielder is in danger of playing fewer minutes this season with the first team after Miralem Pjanic worked his way into Xavi's plans with his preseason performances. 

A loan deal would've provided Nico with the opportunity to play more matches, but the youngster simply wants to stay and fight. 

Xavi reportedly makes final decision on Nico, but there is one problem

Nico is represented by Jorge Mendes, and the superagent should have no problem finding the Barca youngster a club. In the end, the midfielder's future will depend on the playing time he gets.

Let the kid go and develop his game, he’s not ready right now to be put into high pressure situations. Barcelona is in a win now situation. He’s a player that needs continuous football to develop. Everyone in that midfield in an international player except Nico, there’s a reason for that. 🔴🔵

Barca Guru

you can’t have 200 players in your team

Empitis

Pedri never took Pjanic place in the team they play different positions. Nico is the ONLY player in the midfield that doesn’t play internationally because everyone else is better than him right now.

What do you mean by everyone else is better than him? Is every Barça midfielder Spanish? Lol.
You can't say he's not called up by his country because everyone at Barça is better.
You can't compare Nico's with Pjanic's vision and masterpiece, not to even talk about Busquets please, never. Yet, you can't compare their destroyers ability to Nico's. Nico's more of a destroyer than Pjanic and Busquets. Now, it all depends on who Luis Henrique needs and who's available. Some coaches will go all-out for technique and vision, that masterpiece, while others will go all-out for physique. And that technique we talking about, Nico's got that too! He's just a young player who does everything to get better everyday but don't say he isn't called up at Spain because everyone at Barça is better than him.

What is a destroyer?
Are we talking about Athletico Madrid here? Nico isn’t better than any of the Barcelona midfielders right now, that’s what I’m saying. Kessie, Pedri, Gavi, Busi, FDJ, Pjanic are all better than him in any position in the midfield.

U might think it white
But turn out to be black

U might think Pjanic will be ahead of him in the team peaking other

but turn out to be the other way round

Did anyone even know Pedri ahead of the 2019/20 season Until he throw out highly experience pjanic out of the team

Don't sold out Aubameyang all because u got lewy,
let them play one season together as a competitors & see who is more suited to pattern & the system 

Aubameyang suits Barcelona  pattern like a glove from day1 all because more leagues  experience he has in his Boots 

u even needs to consider injuries, because we're in the world cup year???
