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.

Oh God!!! Wait until at least we sign a new defender. It seems Henrique a pretty decent match. Look what happened with our strikers, loaned out Keirri & Bojan seems to have lost his confidence or touch or whatever. I am sure keirri would have come handy for us in crisis situations, where would he find better mentors than Ibra & Henry!!!
who gives about theseplayers, they dont deserve the barca shirt.
he's not given enough time yet... don't write him off already. we don't even have enough back-up for now & looks like Txiki is not too keen to rope in some new face
We dont have any time to give. We need improvements pronto, not players who need time
