Barcelona loanee might return to the club in January

Barcelona midfielder Alex Collado, who has been on loan at Elche this season, could return to the club in the January transfer window. Collado, who chose to go on loan to Elche in the summer transfer window after he was denied regular game time at Barcelona, has struggled to make his mark at his current club. Elche are currently at the bottom of La Liga with just four points due to their precarious situation. Despite being available for all of their 14 La Liga matches, Collado has not made much of an impression. The dramatic situation at Elche has not helped his situation as the La Liga side find themselves in the bottom tier with just four points. In early October, Elche fired their current manager Francisco after just two months, and just a month later, they have replaced him with Almiron.
