Alex Collado could be set to return to Barcelona in the January transfer window.

The 23-year-old is on a season-long loan at Elche but Jorge Almiron’s side are considering cutting the deal short.

Relevo reckon that Collado takes up quite a chunk of Elche’s salary limit and hasn’t really been doing the business on the pitch to justify the spend.

Collado has made eight La Liga appearances and managed just one goal and one assist fo far for Elche, who are bottom of the table heading into the World Cup.

Elche’s perilous position means they want to strengthen in January but need to find some funds to be able to bring in new players.
