Barcelona have had quite the squad overhaul over the last 12 months and as a result of the changes they have made several players were shipped out on loan.
Despite not getting through their Champions League group, Xavi’s side have been going well in La Liga this season and currently sit two points above Real Madrid at the top of the league table.
We’ve looked into the seven players that they currently have out on loan and assessed how well they have done in 2022-23 so far.

The French defender has featured in 14 matches for Spurs so far this season, including eight Premier League appearances. Tottenham Hotspur journalist Alasdair Gold explained Lenglet’s current situation with the club.

Barcelona clearly see a future for Gonzalez at the club as the midfielder signed a new deal with them until 2026 before he was sent to Valencia on loan for the season. This season the holding midfielder has featured in 12 La Liga matches, although most of his appearances have been from the bench.
When asked about the midfielder’s lack of game time, Valencia manager Gennaro Gattuso told Sport: “Nico has never come to me to speak about his situation.
“It is the first time I am hearing something about…
