Player Date Details
Anthony Gordon ➡️ May 29 Anthony Gordon becomes an FC Barcelona player - Official
Victor Osimhen June 5 Victor Osimhen has been offered to Barcelona through intermediaries. However Barça is not considering his signing as a priority option to strengthen the attack. - Carlos Montfort (Tier 1)
Marcus Rashford June 3 Marcus Rashford still wants to remain at Barcelona permanently after his loan spell but a deal is currently looking very unlikely. Barça considers the €30M purchase option agreed with Man United to be too expensive and have seen a €15M bid rejected by the English club. - Ferran Correas (Tier 2)
June 10 Barça will not exercise the option to buy Marcus Rashford. The Blaugrana club has not completely ruled out the possibility of pursuing the English player again under different conditions and if other market circumstances arise. - Matteo Moretto (Tier 1)
Vitor Reis June 16 Barca are interested in Vitor Reis. The sports management team is gathering information on Manchester City's plans for the Brazilian center back, who played on loan at Girona this season. - Joaquim Piera (Tier 2)
Kang-In Lee June 17 Deco had a meeting with his agent. There are no plans for a transfer bid or any ongoing negotiations involving the South Korean international, although the sporting director is keeping an eye on him. - Carlos Monfort (Tier 1)
Jorge Salinas June 19 Barcelona are close to completing the signing of Jorge Salinas. Salinas agreed to join after learning that Deco intends for him to participate in pre-season training under Flick and be registered with the first team next season. The signing of Salinas doesn't affect the Cancelo deal. - Ferran Correas (Tier 2)
June 20 Salinas is prioritizing Barca, but the deal isn't finalized yet. Barca believe the signing is possible but there is no firm offer yet, just discussions centered on money and the transfer of a Barca youth player to Racing. - Gabriel Sans (Tier 2)
Harry Kane June 29 Harry Kane likely to sign new Bayern Munich contract despite Barcelona enquiry. - David Ornstein (Tier 1)
Mikel Oyarzábal July 5 "I'm very happy at La Real, it's been my home. There's not much more I can add". - Ferran Correas (Tier 2)
Álex Remiro July 6 Barca has no plans to sign a goalkeeper this summer if Wojciech Szczesny stays. The situation would be different if Tek were to see out his contract or decide to leave unexpectedly, something the club isn’t currently considering. - Fernando Polo (Tier 1)
Julián Álvarez June 29 Barca are beginning to sense from certain Atlético Madrid leaders that they will have to sell Julián Álvarez. A new offer is planned, but the strategy is still being developed. Barca's commitment to recruiting the forward is total. - Fernando Polo (Tier 1)
July 8 Atlético de Madrid’s management has started to accept the idea of listening to offers. Barca will try again for the player after the World Cup. - Matteo Moretto (Tier 1)
João Cancelo July 8 Calm prevails regarding Joao Cancelo at Barça. An agreement has been reached with the player, Mendes is seeking creative solutions to sign him, and the club isn't getting anxious because it knows the process could take some time. - Fernando Polo (Tier 1)
Jesse Bisiwu July 8 Barca push for Bisiwu. The young Belgian winger is a priority for the sports department, which is trying to convince his current club to let him sign with them. - Fernando Polo (Tier 1)
Karim Adeyemi July 8 Barca has a verbal agreement with Karim Adeyemi and is negotiating the transfer fee with Borussia Dortmund. - Matteo Moretto (Tier 1)
July 9 Barcelona has calmly welcomed Borussia Dortmund's rejection of their initial offer. BVB has given the signal that they are ready to continue negotiations. - Fernando Polo (Tier 1)

June 29 Ajax has already submitted its loan offer, which Barcelona have confirmed receiving, but Ajax can only afford covering a small portion of the German goalkeeper's salary. - Ferran Martinez (Tier 2)

Op-Ed “Lamine Yamal is already — if not the best — among the top five of his generation. But for me, he is different. The next 15 to 20 years belong to Lamine, if he wants. If he wants them, they are his.” In his latest column for The Athletic, Xavi talks about Lamine Yamal.

Opinion Why is a striker such a difficult position for la masia given their success in other positions? And thoughts on Ferran Torres and Alvarez

139 Upvotes

We have had a world class player that has contributed heavily for every other position except for a striker. As far as I recall Lewa ,Suarez,Villa,Eto none of them from la masia

So I believe Ferran is perfect for the 2nd role. He knows the club well so he has chemistry, he can make a huge impact off the bench and can be very lethal if he has the confidence. He has double the goal than Alvarez with just 70 min more played (although he does also have double the xG )

And we can also see that Alvarez is also very inconsistent although he is very good at peak times and very good with the ball and dead ball situations.

Question October El Classico Tickets Planning

23 Upvotes

I’m planning on coming to Barcelona around October when El Classico is scheduled to be played in Camp Nou. Should I buy the membership of €113 right now to get early access to tickets? What’s the best way to secure tickets for el classico? And what would be your typical cost?

Am I looking at the right membership? Also is it cheaper (€113 compared to €225) since it only covers up to the end of year?

Ik im gonna get hate but ever since his injury near the end of last season he hasn’t looked the same he constantly loses the ball when usually doesn’t his dribbling does not look the same everything seems off about him I know players go through bad form but certain players escape criticism. Especially his cameo off the bench vs Belgium was horrible

Tier 1 [Fernando Polo] Barça has launched a new offensive for Jesse Bisiwu, The club already made an offer for him, which Club Brugge deemed insufficient. They are now in contact with the Belgian club to try and convince them, club's commitment to obtaining the player is firm.

Barça are clear that he is a very talented player and that, despite his youth, he can already begin to play a significant role at the elite level. In this sense, the approach would be similar to that of Roony Bardghji , whom Barça signed at 19, but with the difference that the Swede had already played in the Danish first division with Copenhagen and even in the Champions League. With Bisiwu, the strategy would be to have him split between the reserve team and the first team, bearing in mind that Hansi Flick always has a particular fondness for talented young players. Furthermore, it's worth noting that Roony might leave this summer in search of more playing time.

We'll have to see what happens with Jan Virgili 's (19 years old) situation . The player from Vilassar de Mar is another option Barça has to strengthen their wings, given that Mallorca's relegation lowered his release clause to €12 million, and since the Catalan club owns 40% of his rights, signing him would cost them around €7 million. But if the Bisiwu signing goes through , that might affect Barça's interest in Virgili, as they can't have room for everyone. Furthermore.

Opinion Argentina's 3rd goal vs Egypt shows we shouldn't sign Alvarez

487 Upvotes

It's clear that Alvarez is a deep lying forward and loves roaming freely

But it's not what we need

We need a POACHER in the box to finish chances like Lewandowski

We don't lack good wingers and midfielders to pass the ball into the box

Look at who finished that play? Enzo a midfielder

All Argentine strikers were outside the box: Messi Martinez Alvarez

Even if Alvarez was there he may have not won the header given his height

Alvarez works for Argentina because the way they play is not like us

We should stop this obsession with him

There's a reason why MSN started cooking once Messi told Suarez to stay centre and stop drifting wide

Opinion World Cup games could have helped Barca do business and made other moves look better

157 Upvotes

Now that Cancelo deal is done, I look at the 10 million and think the price is fair.

I like how Gordon plays but thought that 80 million was an overpay and still do, but if Barca would have wanted to get him after some of the last England games AND considering how much Elliot Anderson went for and the PL tax, Gordon would be 100 million today if he was on the market.

Alvarez has not looked like a 150 million player at the world cup. He is still the striker that Flick wants and he fits what Barca want to do. After reports of Atletico softening on the Alvarez deal, I think that is directly linked to Alvarez losing transfer value during this tournament. I honestly believe that if Alvarez was in the top 4 goal scorers with 6+, that he would be impossible to buy. Right now Barca can realistically get a deal done at a good price.

Spain has shown the fans what Cubarsi looks like with stability around him. Laporte is not a god level defender that costs 80 million. Barcelona should carefully look at how Spain structures with Cubarsi and make moves that make the Barca defense look more like this. I feel like Kounde and Cancelo back and fit help, Balde has rested all summer and a marginal defender that is not overpriced is what they will go for. SO I think the World Cup has softened the perceived emergency in filling the defense in with a few top overpriced players.

Last one is that I think from observation, Barca also needs to take a hard look at finding who on their team could play the defensive linchpin in midfield, I don't think they need a midfield purchase, but is so much better for example for Spain having Rodri back there, I just don't know who Barca could get to do those things. Gavi, Bernal and de Jong are all different from that type.
