#3 Nicolas Tagliafico

While going for a loan player, clubs often have to think outside the box. Most clubs do not want to loan out their already experienced players and they would much rather send out a youngster on loan who needs more game time. Big clubs that loan out big players often do so because of the lack of space in the squad or because of the lack of involvement on the player’s part. The next player on the list has not been featured in his club regularly and could be looking for a way out.

Nicolas Tafliafico is an Argentine left-back who is still good enough to play for the National team, however, his involvement in Ajax this season has been less than impressive. He has played only 10 games so far in the league and out of that he only started in two of them. He has not been facing injuries either, it is just that Daley Blind on the left-hand side. Tagliafico is by no means a bad player, however, the team has been performing without him and that’s just how the footballing world works sometimes. Ajax could let him go since he is not one of the main team players; however, he is not the top person on Barca’s list.
