Barcelona news

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has claimed Marcus Rashford wanted to be a "one-club man" for Manchester United before being frozen out by Ruben Amorim. The England international, who spent nearly two decades rising through the ranks at Old Trafford, found himself on the fringes after the Portuguese manager took over and has now embarked on a new journey to reignite his England dreams.

Joan Laporta has explained why Barcelona failed to sign Nico Williams, admitting Luis Diaz and Marcus Rashford were always ahead on his wishlist.

Joan Laporta says there is "nothing to criticise" when it comes to Lamine Yamal's birthday party, with the Barcelona president wishing he was there.

Barcelona’s goalkeeping crisis continues, with only Inaki Pena available for their La Liga opener against Mallorca amid registration and injury woes.

Marcus Rashford's loan move to Barcelona came after months of behind-the-scenes communication, including regular messages to Lamine Yamal. The Manchester United forward had made it clear he wanted to leave Old Trafford this summer, and the Catalan club were always his first choice. The 27-year-old even took a pay cut to secure the deal and did not ask for guarantees regarding his registration.

Joan Laporta has addressed the delays in Barcelona returning to the Camp Nou, while also confirming that they have made a special request to UEFA.

Marcus Rashford is back together with childhood sweetheart and ex-fiancee Lucia Loi, two years after the couple split up. Loi was spotted in Barcelona alongside Rashford, before the striker was formally announced as a Blaugrana player. Rashford had been with Loi since he was 15 years old and they got engaged in 2022. The couple, however, decided to part ways in June 2023.

Following Marcus Rashford's arrival on loan, Barcelona president Joan Laporta has made a revealing admission about the club's transfer plans.

The All India Football Federation (AIFF) have confirmed that two high-profile coaching applications, allegedly sent by former Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez and current Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, were fraudulent. The revelation comes as the federation continue their search for a new head coach for the Indian men’s national football team.

Barcelona began their pre-season with a 3-1 win at Vissel Kobe, with Marcus Rashford coming off the bench to make his debut.

Barcelona completed the loan move for Marcus Rashford from Manchester United earlier this week, and the England winger has already made his debut for Hansi Flick's side. Rashford came on as a substitute in the Catalan side's 3-1 win over Vissel Kobe in Japan, and the 27-year-old loanee has received loads of love from cules for his strong showing off the ball.

Barcelona will pursue re-negotiations with shirt sponsor Spotify, as they look to maximise the value of recent successes and stars like Lamine Yamal.

Wojciech Szczesny may have helped Barcelona to a historic domestic treble last season, but the veteran goalkeeper isn’t a fan of the ultra-attacking approach under new manager Hansi Flick. The 35-year-old admitted the system doesn’t suit him, as his aging legs have to do a lot of work in behind a uber-high defensive line commandeered by the likes of Pau Cubarsi and Inigo Martinez.
