Alex Collado has pulled back from plans to leave Barcelona.

The midfielder had openly declared this preseason a willingness to leave, with Club Brugge and Olympique Marseille both keen to take him on-loan.

Collado was initially keen, but is now eager to stay and prove himself to coach Ronald Koeman.

Sport says the midfielder is set to meet with Koeman and sporting director Mateu Alemany to discuss his situation.

For the moment, Collado wants to stay this season.
