Elche have secured a bumper agreement with Barcelona for on-loan midfielder Alex Collado.

Sport says Collado joined LaLiga side Elche on a season-long loan from Barcelona on August 15. The player's salary is split between the two teams.

There is no 'fear clause,' so he could have played against Barça at Camp Nou and is allowed to at the Martinez Valero later in the campaign, and there is no option to make the deal permanent.

However, the surprising part of the agreement is that Elche managed to get 20% of any possible transfer in the next two seasons.

Collado has made five appearances for Elche this season, scoring one goal, in the 1-1 draw with Almeria back in August.
