Transfer market, live: latest news from FC Barcelona

The upcoming transfer market could be intense in Barcelona. The Blaugrana's priorities are to sign two full-backs and a 'top' left winger, but in recent days, the possibility of incorporating a physical midfielder and advancing the signing of a center forward has gained traction.

What players could arrive at Barça? What players could leave? Will there be blockbuster signings? How are the renewals going? And the registrations? We review the latest updates.

One of FC Barcelona's top objectives is quite clear: a 'top' left winger. The club has raised its expectations, and names like Nico Williams, Luis Díaz, and Rafael Leão are sounding attractive in sporting terms, but they would require a significant financial investment. To strengthen the '9' position, Erling Haaland and Viktor Gyökeres are strong candidates.

Possible 'blockbuster' signings for Barcelona

Erling Haaland: Manchester City's free fall in the Premier League jeopardizes Pep Guardiola's future and also that of the Norwegian striker. The 24-year-old forward, one of Joan Laporta's big dreams to lead FC Barcelona in the future, still has two more seasons on his contract, but a 'secret' clause in his contract could take him away from the 'sky blue' team much sooner than expected. Meanwhile, Barcelona is waiting for its opportunity, hoping to have a much more advantageous financial situation in the upcoming summer market.

Viktor Gyökeres: The in-form striker seems determined to wait for an offer from FC Barcelona. Recent information points to the player's 'no' to a proposal from Manchester United. The first contacts between Deco and the 'crack' of Sporting CP's environment seem to have convinced the Swedish forward to 'pass' on other offers that may come in before. Gyökeres prioritizes joining a team where he can aspire to win everything and believes that, looking ahead, going to Barcelona is the best option.

Nico Williams: After a summer where he was the center of attention, Nico is set to be one of the major protagonists of the transfer market. The winger decided to stay at Athletic, but at the end of the season, his future could change. FC Barcelona remains part of the race for the player, although various factors would need to align for them to decide to pursue a player who 'passed' on the Catalan entity's offer a couple of months ago.

Jamal Musiala: The German player is one of FC Barcelona's big dreams. The Blaugrana entity wants to make a strong statement by signing a world star to inaugurate the new Spotify Camp Nou in style, and the midfielder is one of the favorites of the club's sports management. The future of the 21-year-old player at Bayern Munich is far from clear. His contract expires in 2026, and despite the Bavarians' efforts to renew him, negotiations remain stalled and an agreement seems distant.

The 5 'TOP' wingers on Barça's agenda for the next transfer market

Luis Díaz: FC Barcelona could see its chances of signing Colombian Luis Díaz increase if he does not renew with Liverpool. According to information from the 'TEAM Talk' website, it suggests that there may be some tension from 'Lucho' since his arrival from Porto in 2022, his salary has not been updated, and his environment has tried unsuccessfully to negotiate an improvement in his contract. If he does not renew with Liverpool, Barcelona would be his preferred destination, according to reports from 'Antena 2'.

Rafael Leao: The Portuguese player insists on playing for FC Barcelona in 2025. Although the winger knows that negotiations with Milan will be difficult, he will wait until the end for a Blaugrana offer. According to 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', the initial approaches between Barça's management and the winger were very positive. Although the 'rossoneri' team insists on asking for a minimum of 100 million euros for the winger, the figure could drop to 90 'kilos' next summer.

Dusan Vlahovic: Negotiations for the Serbian's renewal with Juventus are completely stalled, and everything indicates that the player will look for a new destination for next season. Barça are reportedly following the striker closely, and although there is nothing concrete at the moment, the Catalans have already made their interest in the player known.

Mohamed Salah: The Egyptian is being the star of Liverpool's Premier League and Champions League leadership, but his future on the red side of Merseyside is a real mystery. The player's contract expires at the end of the season, and negotiations to extend it are more than stalled. When asked about his renewal, the striker acknowledged that "we are far from that", so the option of him joining Barça as a free agent is still on the table.

Florian Wirtz: The future of the German pearl is one of the hot topics of the transfer market. The brutal explosion of the player has put him in the sights of the continent's top clubs, including FC Barcelona, which is also preparing its offensive to acquire one of the greatest talents in world football for the next season.

Kimmich: His possible signing is on the table at Barça, although it seems increasingly distant. Speaking to 'Sky Germany', the footballer assured that his renewal with Bayern Munich is on track due to the leap in quality that the team has made under the orders of Vincent Kompany. However, the club's long-term project, added to the continuity of players such as Jamal Musiala or Alphonso Davies, will condition his final decision.

Marcus Rashford: Although Barça are hot on his trail, the competition for his signing is increasingly fierce. AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund are pushing for his signature, and the Rossoneri are said to have the upper hand in the race by ensuring the player a leading role in their team. The Catalans, however, are keeping this option on the table as they consider him a bargain in the market.

Trent Alexander-Arnold: The right-back's contract with Liverpool expires at the end of the season and, as of today, there has still been no significant progress in the negotiations for his renewal, so everything points to the footballer leaving the Anfield Road dressing room in July 2025. Real Madrid already made a 'low' offer to sign him this January, which was rejected by the 'reds', so everything points to the 'soap opera' extending until the summer.

Alexander Isak: The Catalans are completely in love with Isak and would even like him more than his compatriot Gyökeres, as the sporting management values ​​his goal-scoring ability, his technique and his versatility. In fact, if the conditions are right, the Catalans would be willing to try to sign him during this winter transfer market.

John Durán: The Barça board held a first meeting with the Colombian striker's representatives at the end of 2024. The 21-year-old has 12 goals in 21 games for Unai Emery's team and has reportedly already ruled out an offer from Arsenal, preferring to wait for Barcelona next summer. The Catalans, for the moment, consider him an interesting alternative, but not a priority as a possible replacement for Lewandowski, since the 'villain' team will hardly let the South American attacker go for less than 60 million euros.

Possible departures

Ferran Torres: The Valencian is one of the players who excites the FC Barcelona board regarding a future sale. However, injuries have diminished his prominence this season and his reputation has diminished, with clubs such as Newcastle ruling out his signing due to these physical problems and setting off alarm bells in Barcelona, ​​where there are concerns about the future of the 'Tiburón'.

Ansu Fati: Several teams are reportedly interested in signing Ansu. Sevilla have not lost hope of signing the player and would be his preferred option, as he would prefer to continue playing in La Liga. In addition, Betis, Girona and Valencia are also keeping an eye on his situation. At the moment, all options are still on the table, but what is clear is that the Catalans will only let him go to the highest bidder.

Eric García: The player's future remains a mystery. Hansi Flick has reportedly informed the sporting management of his desire to continue to count on the player in their ranks, but Girona's insistence on signing him has put Deco and his staff at a crossroads, as the Albirrojos would offer up to 10 million euros for his transfer.

Ronald Araújo: The Uruguayan's continuity at Barça is a question mark. Iñigo Martínez's injury seemed to close the door on his departure definitively, but Juventus are not giving up and are still trying to convince both the club and the centre-back. The final say will be up to the player, since if he personally asks to be transferred to the 'bianconeri', the Catalans will agree to negotiate his sale.

Pending renewals

Ronald Araujo trains normally with the rest of the team

Araujo and De Jong: FC Barcelona is clear about the need to renew as soon as possible Ronald Araujo and Frenkie de Jong, two players who have had a difficult year due to injuries, but whom the club still considers as key figures for the sports project. Both finish their contracts in 2026.

In the case of the 'Uruguayan', his return to action invites a resumption of negotiations for his renewal as soon as possible. With Frenkie, the situation is more complex. The midfielder currently earns the second-highest salary in the squad (around 19 million euros gross), and the club's idea is to readjust his salary with a contract extension that would respond to the player's desire to stay.
