Barcelona president Joan Laporta has confirmed that the club does not anticipate making any further signings ahead of the 2025–26 season.
The Catalan giants have already welcomed three new additions this summer: Spanish goalkeeper Joan Garcia, Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, and Swedish prospect Roony Bardghji. Despite speculation suggesting that Barcelona might still be in the market for a full-back, Laporta has now made it clear that their transfer objectives have been met.
“We’ve hit all our targets for the upcoming season,” Laporta said in an interview with Mundo Deportivo.
“In principle, there won’t be any more signings now. We have a good squad and a coach who wants to bolster the first team when necessary with youngsters from the reserve team.”
His comments indicate a shift in strategy, with the club prepared to rely more heavily on its academy talent to fill any remaining gaps rather than pursuing further deals in the transfer market.
Focus Now on Player Registration
While Barcelona’s recruitment appears complete, work is still ongoing behind the scenes to ensure all new signings are officially registered with La Liga ahead of the season opener against Real Mallorca.
Given the club’s ongoing financial constraints and league-imposed salary cap limitations, registering high-profile players like Rashford may pose logistical challenges. However, Barcelona remains confident that all paperwork will be completed on time.
Youth and Depth
Under head coach Hansi Flick, Barcelona is expected to build a squad that balances experienced signings with the promotion of youth players from the academy and reserve side. The goal is to form a sustainable and competitive team without overspending, a priority that aligns with both Laporta’s leadership and La Liga’s financial oversight.
Although rumors linked Barcelona with several defensive reinforcements earlier in the window, including full-backs, those plans appear to have been shelved for now. The current focus will be internal development and tactical cohesion rather than market activity.
Conclusion
Barcelona’s summer transfer business appears to be wrapped up with the arrivals of Garcia, Rashford, and Bardghji. With no further additions expected, attention now turns to integrating the new players and ensuring squad registration is completed ahead of the new campaign. The emphasis on youth promotion and squad depth reflects the club’s evolving financial strategy under Joan Laporta’s administration.
