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.

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 Barça's table. According to 'Sky Germany', the German club has asked the player to show clear signs that he wants to stay, and they are wary of the final solution as there is persistent interest from Barça and Manchester City that is making the player doubt. Bayern has already made its definitive offer and has a clear strategic objective of retaining him.

Marcus Rashford: Recent information indicates the culé interest in the 'crack' from Manchester United, as they see the English international as a 'bargain' in the market that could be very valuable for the 2025/26 season. Initially, 'Man U' would not be willing to let go of one of its major figures for less than 60-65 million euros.

Trent Alexander-Arnold: The right-back's contract with Liverpool expires at the end of the season, and as of today, there have been no significant advances in negotiations for his renewal, so it seems likely that the player will leave Anfield Road's locker rooms in July 2025. In this context, FC Barcelona appears as one of the main candidates to acquire the 'scouser' at no cost.

Pending registrations

Dani Olmo completes the last training session with Barcelona

Will Barcelona be able to register Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor? This Monday, along with LaLiga's lawyers, FC Barcelona visited the Commercial Court number 10 in the Catalan city to present to Judge Ignacio Fernández de Senespleda the request for precautionary measures that would allow the registration of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor for the upcoming month of January. The final resolution regarding the registration of the two players will be announced next Friday, December 27.

Possible departures

Ferran Torres: The Valencia player is one of the players that excites FC Barcelona's management regarding a future sale. The culés are not willing to part with Ferran for less than 30 million euros, an amount equivalent to his current market value. Barça paid 55 'kilos' to Manchester City in 2022, and the management hopes to recover as much of that investment as possible, although the records of the Spanish international with the Blaugrana shirt are acceptable.

Ansu Fati: Several clubs are interested in signing Ansu. Sevilla has not lost hope of acquiring the player's contract and would be his preferred option, as he would prefer to continue playing in LaLiga. For now, all options remain 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 seems set for a radical change in the second half of the season. Initially, FC Barcelona seemed willing to let the 23-year-old defender go, however, the club would have ruled out weakening the squad with the departure of the '24'.

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.
