As the 2026 summer transfer window heats up, FC Barcelona finds itself at the center of several intriguing storylines. From potential departures to injury recoveries, here's the latest from Camp Nou.
The biggest headline surrounds Marcus Rashford. Arsenal are reportedly monitoring the Manchester United forward's situation closely, as Barcelona continues to hesitate on making his loan deal permanent. With the £26 million price tag causing pause in Catalonia, the Gunners could swoop in to land the England international, adding firepower to their attack.
Meanwhile, Barcelona has made a firm stance on Raphinha: he is not for sale. Despite expected offers for the Brazilian winger, the club insists they want to strengthen their squad, not weaken it. This signals confidence in their current core as they plan for next season.
In positive injury news, teenage sensation Lamine Yamal is back in the gym, working hard on his recovery ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Though he won't feature again for Barcelona this season, the young star is expected to be fit for Spain's summer campaign—a huge boost for La Roja.
On the transfer front, Barcelona is awaiting a response from Club Brugge regarding Jesse Bisiwu. The club has made an offer for the promising youngster, who is eager to make the move. If signed, Bisiwu would likely be registered with Barca Atletic but could see first-team opportunities.
However, not every target fits the budget. Newcastle's Anthony Gordon, while admired by Barcelona, is not a priority this summer as the club focuses on financial prudence. Similarly, in the women's team, star defender Mapi León will not renew her contract and is set to join London City Lionesses in the Women's Super League when her deal expires.
As the season winds down, Barcelona's summer plans are taking shape—balancing ambition with budget, and looking to build a squad ready for glory.
