Marc Bernal (Barcelona)
November 2025
The 18-year-old midfielder, back from a 2024 ACL injury, has four appearances this season and is evaluating a loan to secure consistent game time. Barcelona prefer to keep him but are balancing recovery pacing with the player’s development needs. Bernal marked his return with an assist versus Valencia but has been carefully managed by Hansi Flick. A temporary move would target regular minutes without overloading post-injury, preserving long-term value while aligning with the club’s pathway planning.
