Barcelona have 8 players out on loan they expect to be back next season.
Here are those they should be impressed with and those who are yet to find their groove at their temporary new clubs.
Best performers
Eric Garcia
The centre-back is usually among Girona's top players in La Liga games. His passing is something else and he also heavily contributes in defence.
Xavi reportedly didn't want to let him go in the summer, so he would probably want him back in the squad next season.
Sergino Dest
The attack-minded defender keeps impressing for PSV – both as a right-back and a left-back.
Barca aren't expected to make him a squad player next season, but his summer sale shouldn't be a problem with such performances.
Julian Araujo
Barca have been pleased with the Mexican's progress at Las Palmas, according to the latest reports.
The right-back was a regular starter for the La Liga side before picking up an injury. Against Real Madrid, he brilliantly contained Vinicius Junior.
Alex Valle
The left-back has been a standout performer for Levante – and he is likely to fill in Marcos Alonso's spot in the squad next season.
Chadi Riad
Despite having had a nightmare outing against Barcelona, the centre-back, who is on loan at Betis, is becoming a starter and looks better with each new game.
Worst performers
Ansu Fati
The forward is yet to claim a starter spot for Brighton; so far, there are no signs of it happening any time soon.
Pablo Torre
Unlike Eric Garcia, the promising midfielder doesn't play an important role for Girona and doesn't really make an impact coming on as a sub.
Clement Lenglet
The Frenchman has accumulated just 180 minutes of play for Aston Villa - all in the Conference League - so his long-awaited sale may become a problem again.
