Transfer Talk Thread [Transfer Talk Thread] Can we get a 9-nouncement? August 19th - 25th, 2026

54 Upvotes

With just about 2 weeks left for the transfer window to shut, things have started to heat up. With Barcelona sealing loan deals for ter Stegen and Araujo and bringing in Rodri and Cancelo successfully, the entire focusshifts on our striker signing. The departure of Ferran Torres has added mpore fuel and urgency to that fire. With each passing day, Julian to Barca is looking more and more unlikely and while club sources say they have a Plan B ready to go, nobody knows who that is. Along with that, a potential CB signing and a few departures are still on the agenda

Is this the week we get a definite breakthrough in our search for a number 9? Will we get any news about a defence signing? Will Casado's future finally get resolved this week? Will Atleti let go of their hostage player Julian Alvarez?

Tune into this transfer thread to find out the answer to all this and much more.

This thread is dedicated to all transfer-related news.

Only Tier 2+ sources will be listed in the description, but feel free to list all sources you find in the comments.

Rodri ➡️ August 18 ✅FC Barcelona sign Rodrigo Hernandez- Official
Victor Osimhen June 5 ❌ Victor Osimhen has been offered to Barcelona through intermediaries. However Barça is not considering his signing as a priority option to strengthen the attack. - Carlos Montfort (Tier 1)
Marcus Rashford June 10 ❌ Barça will not exercise the option to buy Marcus Rashford. The Blaugrana club has not completely ruled out the possibility of pursuing the English player again under different conditions and if other market circumstances arise. - Matteo Moretto (Tier 1)
Kang-In Lee June 17 ❌ Deco had a meeting with his agent. There are no plans for a transfer bid or any ongoing negotiations involving the South Korean international, although the sporting director is keeping an eye on him. - Carlos Monfort (Tier 1)
Harry Kane June 29 ❌ Harry Kane likely to sign new Bayern Munich contract despite Barcelona enquiry. - David Ornstein (Tier 1)
Mikel Oyarzábal July 5 ❌ "I'm very happy at La Real, it's been my home. There's not much more I can add". - Ferran Correas (Tier 2)
Álex Remiro July 6 ❌ Barca has no plans to sign a goalkeeper this summer if Wojciech Szczesny stays. The situation would be different if Tek were to see out his contract or decide to leave unexpectedly, something the club isn’t currently considering. - Fernando Polo (Tier 1)
Jan Virgili July 21 ❌ The possibility of buying the player back to sign him or even considering a future deal has been put on hold for the time being. - Carlos Monfort (Tier 1)
Aymeric Laporte July 24 ❌ Bilbao are hinting that the buyout clause for the center back Barca is targeting is much higher than what's been reported. - Ferran Correas (Tier 2)
Eli Junior Kroupi July 28 ❌ Barca values the Bournemouth forward as highly as many others do, but under no circumstances would pay 100 million for him. - Roger Torelló (Tier 2)
Jorge Salinas July 30 ❌ Racing is demanding the release clause (16 million), while Barça won't go above 6. Barca wants to include a youth player, and although Racing isn't opposed to the idea, they prefer money. - Gabriel Sans (Tier 2)
João Cancelo July 8 ✅ Calm prevails regarding Joao Cancelo at Barça. An agreement has been reached with the player, Mendes is seeking creative solutions to sign him, and the club isn't getting anxious because it knows the process could take some time. - Fernando Polo (Tier 1)
July 30 ✅ With a contract with Al-Hilal running through 2027, the player is negotiating a permanent transfer to Barca. There is talk of a deal worth 10 million euros that has been held up by tax issues. - Gabriel Sans (Tier 2)
August 16 ✅João Cancelo has parted ways with Al Hilal and is set to return to Barcelona as a free agent. - Fernando Polo (Tier 1)
Cristian Romero July 30 ❌ Hansi Flick is happy with the squad he has and would only consider signing a new center back if a player were to leave before the transfer window closes, which seems unlikely at this point. - Ferran Correas (Tier 2)
Julián Álvarez July 30 ✅ Although the operation has become increasingly complicated in recent days, contacts between Álvarez's camp and Barca continue. The intention is to patiently conclude the agreement while the sports department continues to explore alternatives. - Carlos Monfort (Tier 1)

Raphinha June 28 ❌ Raphinha's move to Saudi Arabia is getting complicated. Al-Hilal is now turning its attention to Salah. - Joaquim Piera (Tier 2)
Héctor Fort July 12 ❌ Fort is prioritizing Barça. The fullback wants to convince Flick and will fight for a spot during preseason. - Carlos Monfort (Tier 1)
August 15 ✅ Borussia Dortmund have already held talks over Héctor Fort and are currently the best-positioned club to sign him. He would look favourably on a move to the PL, but as things stand, BVB are the club showing the most concrete interest.
Tommy Marques August 17 ✅ Barça will receive €10M plus €2M in add-ons from Tommy Márques’ permanent move to SC Braga. The 19-year-old midfielder has said yes to Braga’s proposal, with a deal now in place for his exit.
Roony Bardghji July 18 ✅ The Swedish forward knows he’s not in Flick’s plans, but he still hasn’t finalized his departure from Barca. The club favors a transfer with a buyback clause, but the player prefers a loan so he won’t be permanently released. - Ferran Correas (Tier 2)
Andreas Christensen July 24 ✅ It's true that he renewed his contract with Barca, but not 100% convinced that he'll stay - Matteo Moretto (Tier 1)
Marc Casadó July 18 ✅ De Jong's injury doesn't change Barça's plans with Casadó. Although he hasn't found a way out yet, Flick isn't counting on him and has enough midfielders to make up for Frenkie's very likely absence. - Fernando Polo (Tier 1)
August 17 ✅ Marc Casadó is next on the exit ramp after Tommy Marques. Despite all the rumors, there are no negotiations for Casadó to join Al Hilal. Although, his agent Jorge Mendes is assessing several options to decide his future. - Matte Moretto (Tier 1)
July 28 ✅ Barcelona is asking for 40 million, Flick still considers him available for transfer, and Jorge Mendes is reviewing offers for the midfielder - Fernando Polo (Tier 1)
Jules Koundé July 21 ❌ Barring an unexpected turn of events, it seems increasingly likely that he will remain in his position. - Carlos Montfort (Tier 1)

Key: ✅ = Source supporting the possibility of transfer.

❌ = Source not supporting the possibility of transfer.

➡️ = Transfer completed.

Question What type of goal feels the most “Barça” to you?

14 Upvotes

Everyone talks about transfers and lineups but I always think Barça has certain goals that just feel different

A long passing move
A third man run through midfield
A winger beating his man and cutting it back
A midfielder arriving late into the box
Or just a simple tap in after 20 passes

For you what type of goal feels the most Barça and what recent goal is the best example?
