In that light While Barcelona do not want to selling Nico but they are willing to let him go for loan to increase his playing time.

If he stays and play, he’d probably be the sixth choice, behind Sergio Busquets, Gavi, Pedri and the new Franck Kessie. It’s not taking into account what could happen to Frenkie de Jong. If the Dutchman is allowed to stay, it will mean less playing time for Nico.

His name was discussed in a possible exchange deal between Wolves in exchange for Ruben Neves. This is no longer thought of nor will he be involved in any other potential trade. If the player doesn’t want to go elsewhere, Nico will be a Barcelona player for the next season.

Nico Wants Long Barcelona Stay

Nico has been open about his future and stated that he’s ready to be patient and wait for his chance to play at Camp Nou. The midfielder has also stated to La Vanguardia that he hopes to continue his career with Barcelona.

“It is true that now I am playing less, but the first thing is the team, and I also think that the competition is positive, it makes you raise your level,” He stated. “I have been in the first team for a few months and I have to be patient, work and take advantage of the minutes I have.”

Xavi Counting on Nico?

Barcelona Coach Xavi was also interested in Nico’s future prior to the season’s end. He was asked during an interview prior to his team’s game against Getafe If there was any chance Nico might be released to a loan deal and provided the following answer.

“For me, he’s the most important person. He has assisted us tremendously scoring and played the most minutes,” he said. “He has helped us a lot. He has to be improved but I am very pleased with his. He provides us with a lot of options in midfield. We trust him in the future as well as the present.”

Barcelona’s determination to retain Nico is a sign of how highly he’s regarded by the club, but the competition for positions in midfield could mean he will have to fight for playing time in 2022-23 under Xavi.
