Barcelona are closing in on a second academy renewal in the space of 24 hours. Talks over a new Brian Farinas contract have reached an advanced stage, with the 20-year-old midfielder set to commit his future to the Blaugrana for a further five years — a remarkable turnaround for a player who was packing his […]
There will be no grand goodbye. Barcelona are not planning a Messi tribute or a farewell match for Lionel Messi, despite the greatest player in the club’s history entering the closing stages of his career — and the reason has far less to do with logistics than with a relationship that has never been repaired. […]
Pau Cubarsi is still the man to beat. The Barcelona centre-back has held on to top spot in the latest update of the Golden Boy 2026 shortlist, the award handed out by Italian newspaper Tuttosport to the best under-21 footballer in European football — and he is not the only Blaugrana making the running. Four […]
Joan Laporta has put the target on the table. Speaking on the Diada Nacional de Catalunya, the Barcelona president confirmed that a Barcelona quadruple is the stated objective this season — and warned that nothing less than total commitment will get the club there. “This year we’ve set ourselves the goal of winning La Liga, […]
The Hamza Abdelkarim contract saga is over before it ever really started. FC Barcelona confirmed on Friday morning that they have reached an agreement with their teenage striker over a new deal running to 30 June 2030, barely seven months after he first walked through the door at the Ciutat Esportiva. “Agreement reached between FC […]
Barcelona team news ahead of Sunday’s trip to Levante is about as good as Hansi Flick could have hoped for. Barça held their first session of the week at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper on Friday with every available senior player on the grass, and the headline sight was Eric Garcia back in a protective […]
Pedri does not do noise. Five games into the season, with Barca scoring for fun and the Ballon d’Or conversation swirling around the dressing room next to him, the No.8 chose to say something entirely different, and he said it in writing. The 23-year-old published a long, deeply personal letter in The Players’ Tribune this […]
The Ronald Araujo Liverpool loan is going rather better than most people at the Spotify Camp Nou expected. On Wednesday night at Anfield, the Uruguayan produced the moment of the evening in a 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid — and then spent his post-match interview talking about Barca. Araujo left on a season-long loan in […]
The Gabriel Jesus Arsenal exit was quick, quiet and, by his own account, not especially kind. Barca’s last signing of the summer has revealed that he was pulled out of group training at the Emirates and sent to work on his own, without anybody telling him why. The 29-year-old Brazilian arrived at the Spotify Camp […]
Jamie Carragher’s Barcelona takes are not usually this warm. Yet after Wednesday night’s 5-1 dismantling of Feyenoord, the former Liverpool defender sat on CBS Golazo’s panel and offered the Blaugrana something close to a blessing. “I don’t think there’s anything better than seeing Barcelona win the Champions League their way,” Carragher said, per Mundo Deportivo. […]
The Barcelona salary cap has jumped by almost €150 million. LaLiga published its post-window update on Thursday and the Blaugrana’s limit for the 2026/27 season now stands at €582.769m, up from the €432.807m they carried through the summer. It is the second substantial rise in a row, and it lands at the end of a […]
Karim Adeyemi Barcelona was always going to be a slow-burn signing. Six weeks in, the German winger has two goals, one backflip and a throwaway line in the mixed zone that tells you rather a lot about why Hansi Flick keeps picking him. Adeyemi opened his Spotify Camp Nou account on Wednesday night in the […]
