5 players who should leave Barcelona to progress their careers

#2 Paco Alcacer

Paco Alcacer: Massively underrated?

Paco is one player who has shined every single time he has put on the Barcelona shirt, yet he gets a start rarely.

A good header of the ball and a lethal striker, Alcacer is somewhat the perfect combination some of the biggest clubs crave for, but the talent rots on the bench of the Camp Nou due to the competition he faces there. Luis Suarez has established himself as a core element of the Barca squad and that leaves no room for Paco to start games.

Still only 24-year-old, Paco has a promising career ahead of him but only if he gets minutes to prove himself.

Ever since moving for Valencia to Barcelona for a fee of 30 million, the Spaniard has only featured in around 2290 official minutes for the Catalans, averaging just about 95 minutes per month but at the same time he has scored 15 goals and provided 8 assists, a decent number for someone who plays so less.

Like a lot of Barcelona substitutes, Paco has drawn interests from other clubs, and moving to one of these 'lower' clubs would perhaps be the perfect stepping stone for the forward to improve himself as a player.
