Barcelona news

Barcelona have identified Julian Alvarez as their primary target to lead the line for the long-term, but the Catalan giants are not prepared to pay over the odds for the Atletico Madrid star. As Hansi Flick looks to reshape his squad for the upcoming campaign, the club have established a clear financial ceiling for the Argentine international.

Negotiations haven’t officially begun yet, but everyone is aware of the Catalan club’s moves. And Inter? They haven’t responded to the figures on the table.

Barcelona are plotting a major attacking reshuffle this summer, prioritising the retention of veteran striker Robert Lewandowski over Ferran Torres. The Catalan giants are prepared to listen to offers for the 26-year-old Spain international to generate crucial transfer funds. This financial boost will aid their ambitious pursuit of two forwards to revitalise their front line.

Hansi Flick has apparently agreed internally that a Barcelona star should stay beyond the end of the season.

Barcelona maintained their four-point lead at the summit of La Liga with a gritty 1-0 victory over Rayo Vallecano, but the match was partially overshadowed by a moment of apparent friction between Lamine Yamal and Hansi Flick. Yamal was visibly angry after being withdrawn in the closing stages of the game at the Spotify Camp Nou. This rare show of dissent from the 18-year-old has sparked immediate debate regarding the dynamic between the manager and his star pupil.

Former Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has finally addressed long-standing claims regarding Lionel Messi's alleged influence over club transfers during his final years at Camp Nou. Bartomeu debunked myths about the Argentine's power while shedding light on the financial turmoil that engulfed the club before his departure.

Barcelona duo Lamine Yamal and Sydney Schertenleib are the winners of NXGN 2026 after coming out on top in GOAL's annual lists of football's top teenagers (players born on or after January 1, 2007). It marks the second straight year that Barca have provided the No.1 player on both lists, following Yamal and Vicky Lopez's triumphs in 2025.

The annual NXGN lists are back for 2026, as GOAL ranks the world's top teenage talents in men's and women's football, crowning winners that will follow in the footsteps of the likes of Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Vicky Lopez in being recognised as the best young footballers on the planet.

Barça are reportedly on the lookout for a new left-back. A familiar face from the Bundesliga is said to be at the top of their list.

Barcelona players surprised fans at the Spotify Camp Nou by warming up in retro jerseys to celebrate the 46th birthday of club legend Ronaldinho. The Brazilian icon, who won the Ballon d'Or and Champions League during a transformative spell in Catalonia, remains a beloved figure. The tribute bridged the gap between the club's glorious past and its promising current era.

What’s the latest on a potential deal for the Rossoneri ahead of the summer?

Barcelona maintained their stranglehold on La Liga's title race on Sunday, though they were made to work hard for their 1-0 win over Rayo Vallecano. Ronald Araujo scored the only goal of the game for the Catalans, but disappointing performances from their all-star attack meant they were indebted to yet more stunning saves from goalkeeper Joan Garcia.

Bernardo Silva is clinging to the dream of joining Barcelona as a free agent this summer, but serious doubts are being cast over whether a deal will be done. The Portugal international playmaker is preparing to sever ties with Manchester City when his contract expires. He has offers from the Saudi Pro League, Italy and his homeland, but is holding out for an approach from Catalonia.
