Mundo Deportivo reports that the Barcelona Board have decided to loan out Spanish midfielder Carlos Alena in the January transfer window. The board and coaching staff at Barcelona think that he needs first-team football and minutes under his belt to develop and play for the Catalan Giants.
The 21-year old played 637 minutes in the LaLiga last season, scoring 2 goals. This season, however, he has only played one half for the Catalan side and has fallen down the pecking order.
