Jules Koundé (Barcelona)
Summer 2025 Transfer Window
Arsenal are ready to launch a £55m bid for defender Jules Koundé to fend off Chelsea’s competition for the Barcelona star.
With Koundé crucial under Hansi Flick and contracted until 2027, negotiations could be tough despite Arsenal’s strong financial offer.
Raphinha (Barcelona)
April 2025
Raphinha is reportedly unhappy with Barcelona’s contract extension terms, prompting renewed interest from Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal.
The winger wants a two-year deal through 2030, but Barça are offering only a one-year deal plus an option. He’s also dissatisfied with the proposed salary despite an €80m release clause.
Jonathan Tah (Bayer Leverkusen)
April 2025
Jonathan Tah has confirmed he will leave Bayer Leverkusen this summer when his contract expires, though he hasn’t revealed his next destination.
Tah has informed the club of his decision not to renew. Barcelona are reportedly interested, despite financial limitations, as they seek a new central defender.
Marcus Rashford (Aston Villa)
Summer 2025
Rashford wants to join Barcelona permanently. Despite PSG interest, his focus is on impressing Barça. His Man United future remains bleak under manager Ruben Amorim.
With no future at Man United under Ruben Amorim, Rashford hopes strong form will convince Barça. A move could depend on Barcelona’s financial flexibility and his performances.
Jonathan Tah (Bayer Leverkusen)
April 2025
Barcelona are prioritizing the signing of Jonathan Tah this summer as they look to strengthen their defence. The 29-year-old can be signed on a free transfer via pre-contract.
Tah’s deal expires in two months and reports suggest he will leave Leverkusen. Barça view him as an affordable, experienced option to complement their attacking core.
Alejandro Balde (Barcelona)
April 2025
Barcelona confirmed Alejandro Balde has suffered a hamstring injury and is likely to miss several key matches, including the Copa del Rey final vs. Real Madrid and the Champions League quarterfinal second leg vs. Dortmund.
Balde was forced off during Barça’s 1–0 win over Leganés. Scans revealed a distal hamstring injury. His return depends on recovery progress, with Gerard Martín expected to fill in at left-back in the meantime.
Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona)
Ahead of Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund
Lewandowski has now scored 11 goals in 11 Champions League games this season, becoming the only player in history to hit double figures in UCL goals at age 36 — a record neither Messi nor Ronaldo achieved at that age.
The Polish striker has netted 40+ goals for the eighth time in his career, with 11 of those coming in this UCL campaign. His longevity and elite finishing continue to be a major asset for Barcelona in their European push.
Luis Díaz (Liverpool)
April 2025
Barcelona remain keen on signing Colombian winger Luis Díaz but are concerned a lucrative Saudi Pro League offer could derail their plans. The Blaugrana have been in contact with Díaz’s camp since last summer.
Despite continued interest from Barça, their financial constraints may leave the door open for a massive Saudi bid, making the player’s transfer to Camp Nou unlikely unless the situation changes.
Thomas Partey (Arsenal)
Summer 2025 (contract expiration)
Partey, set to become a free agent, reportedly prioritizes a switch to Barcelona after Arsenal opted against renewing his deal
The move depends on Barcelona’s midfield situation, especially whether Frenkie de Jong stays or departs this summer.
Dani Olmo, Pau Victor (Barcelona)
April 2025
LaLiga has appealed the Spanish sports authority’s decision to let Barcelona retain Dani Olmo and Pau Victor despite the club missing financial compliance deadlines.
Barcelona registered both players after receiving a provisional green light from the authority. LaLiga and the Spanish FA initially blocked the move due to rule violations, but now seek to overturn the decision through appeal. A final ruling date has not been set.
