The FC Barcelona has had a total of six players on loan during the 2025-26 season. Ansu Fati, Marc-André ter Stegen, Héctor Fort, Iñaki Peña, Áaron Yaakobishvili and Ander Astralaga are the ones who have played on loan for the club. What for some was supposed to be an opportunity to gain minutes with the intention of aspiring to return to Barça, at the end of the day very few, if not just one, have the option to return to train under Hansi Flick. Ansu Fati, on the verge of signing for Monaco, has returned to feel like a footballer again in Monaco. After a series of injuries, the young player has found his place in the Principality to show his quality again. In total, he has played 30 games and scored 12 goals. Numbers that have not been enough for him to return to Barça, but have allowed the Principality team to decide to exercise the option to buy for 11 million. His transfer must be finalized soon. Marc ter Stegen left on loan to Girona last January. However, after just two games, the German player suffered another injury for the rest of the season. Without a place in Barça's Flick, as reported by MD, the German is open to finding a way out. For now, Ajax has shown interest in taking his services. With a contract until June 2028, Barça needs to release his high salary. Héctor Fort, the right-back, played on loan in Elche this season. After a difficult start, Fort managed to become indispensable for Eder Sarabia, but a injury cut his progress. From the same quintet as Cubarsí, Lamine and Bernal, the young player will try to convince Flick that he can have a place in his team. It will depend on whether Koundé leaves, and what Flick decides with Xavi Espart, as Eric Garcia has a guaranteed place in the right-back position. Iñaki Peña, the goalkeeper, still has time left. He played 16 games under Sarabia, conceding 28 goals. He has a contract with Barça until June 2029. Initially, he is scheduled to make the pre-season under Flick, but the intention is to find him a way out. Áaron Yaakobishvili, the goalkeeper, returns from his loan in Andorra. In Barça, they see him as a future project rather than an immediate reality, but they value his conditions positively. In principle, the idea is to look for another loan for him. If there was an option to sell, the club would keep a right of pre-emption to have him under control. Ander Astralaga, the goalkeeper, also played on loan in Granada this season and returns to the discipline of the blue and red club. In his case, his contract ends, but Barça has the right to extend it for two more courses if they want. They will have to wait to see what decision they take.
