Pedri and Gavi are both aware that their teammate is considering leaving Barcelona in the near future, although he has yet to decide whether that move would happen in January or at the end of the season. Any potential exit would depend heavily on the squad’s fitness situation — if injuries strike, Joan Laporta and Deco are unlikely to approve his departure, meaning he would remain under Hansi Flick’s guidance.

A Decision Still Up in the Air

The outlook suggests that Marc Bernal may be edging toward an exit from Camp Nou. At his stage of development, regular minutes are essential. Without consistent starts, his progress could stall — a risk heightened by his recent return from a serious ACL injury.

Flick cannot currently guarantee Bernal sustained playing time due to strong competition in his position, and the midfielder is still working toward full match fitness. Despite this, Bernal had been one of Flick’s early signings and was initially integrated into the first team before his injury setback.

Barcelona’s Confidence Remains

Barcelona continue to view Bernal as a highly promising talent and see him as a long-term heir to Sergio Busquets, valuing both his technical quality and physical presence. The club is open to a loan move that would allow him to regain rhythm and experience at a high level.

Discussions are already underway with several La Liga clubs, with Girona currently leading the race to secure his services.

For now, Barcelona have not completed any formal steps toward a departure, and no decision is expected before January. Ultimately, Bernal’s future will hinge on Flick’s evaluation of squad needs and the team’s physical condition as the season progresses.
