"Barcelona's plans for January could see a few interesting developments within their young squad, and one name quietly being discussed behind the scenes is that of Marc Bernal. According to a recent update from Mundo Deportivo, the talented La Masia midfielder has not ruled out any options for the upcoming winter transfer window. That means his future could depend heavily on how much game time he gets in the coming weeks and how he responds to those opportunities."
"After returning from a lengthy injury layoff earlier this season, Bernal has been gradually eased back into the squad by Hansi Flick, who appears to be managing the youngster's minutes carefully. No consistent minutes While Bernal is yet to start a game under Flick, this does not reflect a lack of trust from the manager - quite the contrary. Flick is said to hold the teenager in high regard but is taking a cautious approach to avoid any recurrence of injury or physical overload."
"He later featured briefly against Oviedo, missed the clash with Real Sociedad, and returned again for the encounter with PSG. His appearances have continued in this stop-start rhythm, missing fixtures against Sevilla, Girona, and then Real Madrid, Elche, and Club Brugge. So what now? Barcelona are set to play Celta Vigo tomorrow for their final match before the international break. After that, the schedule becomes intense, with eight matches lined up before Christmas."
Marc Bernal returned from a lengthy injury layoff and has been eased back into Barcelona's squad with minutes managed by Hansi Flick. The midfielder has yet to start under Flick but remains highly regarded; limited and intermittent appearances have followed, including involvement against Valencia, Oviedo and PSG while missing several fixtures. Barcelona face an intense schedule with eight matches before Christmas. The club currently does not plan to sanction a loan, believing his time will come, but a loan remains a possible option depending on performances, response to limited minutes, and coaching evaluations ahead of January.
