Oscar Mingueza is staying with Barcelona.
Marca says the young defender will remain at Barcelona until at least the end of the season.
The decision was a neutral one between the club's coaching staff and the player himself, who had welcomed the idea of a loan move for regular first team football.
In the end, the player's representative, Jose Maria Orobitg, was unable to reach an agreement with neither Valencia nor Bordeaux who had claimed an interest in the player.
Xavi had been said to be keen on Thomas Meunier on a loan deal, but those chances are significantly reduced with the decision to keep Mingueza.
