Aleix Vidal will only leave Barcelona on a permanent deal

Philippe Coutinho's arrival will provoke exits at Barcelona and one of those could be Aleix Vidal, although nobody has come up with an acceptable offer for him yet. The Blaugrana will let him leave but want to sell him rather than loaning him out - Sevilla are among the clubs that have made loan bids - but Barcelona want to add 10m to their bank account with his sale and secure a percentage of any future sale too. There is time left but the situaton is not easy.

Vidal has had a reasonable amount of minutes under Valverde but knows from now on he will have quite a secondary role. Dembele has recovered and Coutinho has just arrived. If an offer does not arrive that the club like they will keep him and in June look at the situation again.
