Diego Kochen is reportedly set to leave Barcelona on loan, with Danish side Lyngby Boldklub leading the race. The 20-year-old goalkeeper is viewed as a strong prospect but needs senior minutes next season after spending last year between senior benches and reserve games.

Kochen served as Barcelona’s third goalkeeper and played regularly for Barca Athletic, but has not broken into the first team. A loan to Denmark would offer top-flight exposure while his contract with Barcelona runs until 2028.
