6 high-profile stars who need to go out on loan this season

#6 FC Barcelona - Paco Alcacer

Paco Alcacer should consider a move away

The idea of Barcelona sending their only backup striker out on loan seems farcical at best, but Paco Alcacer should really be evaluating a move away from the pressure of the Nou Camp. Gone is the player who seemed so nonchalant with his finishing for Valencia - instead we have a shell of a forward who looks distinctly uneasy whenever he takes to the pitch.

Barcelona ought to also be evaluating a better, more proven option as backup to Luis Suarez. Alcacer ought to take a leaf out of Alvaro Morata's book and move abroad, where a good season can put him in line for Spain's 2018 FIFA World Cup squad.

A move back to Valencia would not solve anything, as Alcacer has already proven himself there. A misfiring striker needs a change of scenery, and moving to tactically astute Serie A could be the perfect tonic his career needs.
