Barcelona have begun the 2025-26 transfer window with a careful approach, trying to improve the team while staying within their tight budget under new coach Hansi Flick.They’re focused on smart signings rather than big-money deals, as the club still faces financial restrictions under La Liga rules.
The sporting director Deco has also said that departures are just as important as new arrivals to keep the wage bill under control. Here’s a look at all the confirmed ins and outs so far.

- Joan García (Goalkeeper)

Players Leaving on Loan

- Loan to: Granada

Young keeper Astralaga will gain first-team experience at Granada this season. The loan move should help him develop his skills under less pressure. Barcelona see him as a possible future option for their senior squad if he performs well.
2. Ansu Fati (Forward)
- Loan to: Monaco
- Date: 1 July 2025
Ansu Fati continues searching for consistent form and fitness. He joins Monaco on loan to try and revive his career. Injuries have slowed his progress after a brilliant start at Barcelona. The club hopes regular playing time in France will help him regain confidence and sharpness.
Possible Future Transfers
Barcelona continue to look for new signings but must obey with La Liga’s strict financial fair play rules. Some rumours link them with wingers like Ademola Lookman and Luis Díaz, as they aim to boost their attack. However, no further deals are confirmed yet.
The Road Ahead
Barcelona’s transfer window is far from over. While only one significant signing has arrived so far, Joan García, the club could still bring in more players if they manage to sell or loan out others. Fans will be watching closely as Hansi Flick builds his first Barça squad.
