FC Barcelona is evaluating the potential loan of young midfielder Marc Bernal, from Berga, at the end of January, as he needs more minutes to progress, despite Hansi Flick's desire to keep him.

The Barça sports management and coach Hansi Flick are discussing the immediate future of Marc Bernal. Although he is considered a strategic player for the club's future, he currently lacks sufficient playing time to continue his development.
Girona FC is the club that has shown the most interest, pushing to secure the loan of the player until the end of the season. Míchel's team is also negotiating with Barça for Marc-André ter Stegen, although a joint agreement for both players is unlikely in this transfer window.
Bernal's departure was initially ruled out, as he is highly valued by Hansi Flick, who has even prioritized him over Marc Casadó in midfield rotations. However, the arrival of João Cancelo could allow Eric Garcia to play more as a central midfielder, potentially affecting Bernal's minutes.
Barça remains calm, awaiting the Supercopa and the Copa del Rey match next Thursday against Racing, where Marc Bernal is expected to start. Any potential departure will only be a loan, as the club is convinced Bernal will be crucial for the team's future.
