Barcelona make their move for Scott McTominay
$93.9M on the table at Napoli. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

An offer of $53.4M for Marcus Thuram
Barcelona have gone to Inter with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Barcelona rebuffed over Mikel Jauregizar
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Athletic Bilbao have kept their man, and Barcelona go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

An offer of $12.1M for César Gelabert
Barcelona have gone to Gijón with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Barcelona turn down Sevilla for João Cancelo
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Joan García stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Joan García and Barcelona agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

A falling-out at Barcelona
Raphinha and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Boardroom10 Aug 2026
Barcelona go back to the board over César Gelabert
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $12.5M — a club that wants César Gelabert enough to be asked twice.
