Sport reports that FC Barcelona would like to loan out players that do not fit into coach Pep Guardiola's plans, specifically defender Henrique and winger Jeffren Suarez.
On paper, Henrique looks a player who could find a role on Barcelona's bench, having played regularly and successfully at while on loan at Bayer Leverkusen last year.
However, he has not been able to meet Guardiola's expectations during the preseason and has been surpassed on the depth chart by cantera products Marc Muniesa and Andreu Fontes.
As such, the coach would like the Henrique to go out on loan to a Spanish club in order that the team can follow his progress closely. Sport claims that both Zaragoza and Racing have expressed interest.
The situation with Jeffren Suarez is more murky. While the young winger would likely not make the Barca roster based on his performance, the coaches are bound by a lack of viable options. As such, Guardiola must rely more on Pedro and, to a lesser extent, Jeffren. If Barca is able to let him leave on loan, Racing and Real Sociedad would be likely destinations.
