Barcelona is already planning its 2026-27 squad but has made no significant transfer moves yet. Strict financial limitations are hindering purchases of priority players.
A key target remains striker Julián Álvarez, whose contract with Atlético runs until 2030. Atlético demands around €200 million, a price Barcelona finds prohibitive. The club considers including Ferran Torres in a deal to lower the cost but still finds the sum too high.
Additionally, the club looks to strengthen central defense and the left-back position. Inter's Bastoni is valued at €70-80 million, and Juventus' Andrea Cambiaso at €50 million. These negotiations are tough due to high prices and clubs' unwillingness to compromise.
There are also concerns with players out on loan. Barcelona finds the €30 million buyout for Marcus Rashford from Manchester United and the €15 million valuation for João Cancelo excessive.
Despite these challenges, Barcelona remains calm, hoping to balance the budget over time and avoid excessive financial risks tied to single players.
For fans, this means reinforcement may be delayed, affecting the club's chances for trophies next season.
