Tenerife & Feyenoord 'want to sign Barca B's Chumi on a six-month loan deal'

Juan Brandáriz, more commonly known as 'Chumi', could leave Barça B in the final days of the winter transfer window.

Tenerife, from Spain's second division, and Feyenoord want the young defender on loan until the end of the season. This despite him being a key member of the youth side's XI.

For Chumi, it would represent a jump in quality and help to aid his development.

However Barça are reluctant to leave the B side in a weaker position as they look to secure promotion this season.

There's also interest in Jorge Cuenca, who is almost fully fit after a broken foot, from Italian side Parma.

As things stand, Barça B don't have a full squad and will need to make up some slots with Juvenil stars.

Abel Ruiz (Sporting de Braga), Carles Pérez (Roma), Van Beijnen (Gençlerbirli) and Marqués (Juventus) have all left this month. Rey Manaj (Albacete) and Matheus Pereira (Pameiras) are the new faces through the door. The likes of Riqui Puig and Ronald Araújo can still be used should either found themselves not needed by the first team.
