Barcelona are happy to release Alex Collado for loan within the LaLiga in January.

Collado has been stuck on the sidelines so far this season after not being registered for the senior squad and not qualifying for the B team.

The midfielder contemplated retirement before being assured by Barca president Joan Laporta that he would be taken care of this season.

Now he's set to be clear to move away on-loan in January.

Local reporter Gerard Romero has revealed Granada and Alaves are both in contact for the 22 year-old.
