Barcelona have a number of returning loanees this summer, with varying fates planned for them. While many expect the Blaugrana to try and raise funds through sales of players, including the loan players, but Eric Garcia looks as if he will have another shot in Blaugrana next season.

The 24-year-old centre-back told the media in the lead up to Girona’s win over Barcelona that he would return to his parent club and decide his future then, while manager Xavi Hernandez has also said that he wants Garcia back in his team over the summer. MD claim that this will indeed be the case, and that the plan is for him to be available to Xavi next season.

Meanwhile 22-year-old Julian Araujo, on loan at Las Palmas this season, will be given a chance to prove his worth to Xavi in preseason before a decision is made, as will be the case with current Levante left-back Alex Valle, who spent last preseason with Barcelona’s first team.
