Every completed Barcelona transfer in summer 2025: Signings, exits, loans
All the ins and outs at Barcelona this summer
Barcelona have a LaLiga title to defend in the 2025-26 season and have started work on tweaking their squad to prepare for it.
Hansi Flick’s side finished four points above rivals Real Madrid in the final LaLiga table for the 2024-25 season. Real Madrid have started making some moves to try and catch them next season, but Barcelona aren’t resting on their laurels either.
So far, there’s been two senior signings by Barcelona for the upcoming campaign, and we’ll be keeping track of any more announcements they make during the summer transfer window.
Here is a roundup of every signing they have made this summer and every player leaving.
Barcelona signings
Joan Garcia
- From: Espanyol
- Fee: £21.4m
- Position: Goalkeeper
- Age: 24
Barcelona’s first signing from city rivals Espanyol this side of the new Millennium, Garcia signed a six-year contract after his €25m release clause was activated.
He moves across Catalonia after being named in the LaLiga team of the season for his efforts in 2024-25, which was actually his first campaign as a regular starter in the top flight.
Barcelona utilised Wojciech Szczesny as their main keeper last season after convincing him to come out of retirement in the midst of a long-term absence for Marc-Andre Ter Stegen.
Garcia will now provide a long-term option in goal for Hansi Flick’s side.

Roony Bardghji
- From: Copenhagen
- Fee: £1.7m
- Position: Winger
- Age: 19
After making a name for himself in the Danish Superliga with Copenhagen, Sweden under-21 international Bardghji has signed a contract with Barcelona until 2029.
Bardghji’s potential has been evident for some time, but wasn’t on display too much last season after he suffered a serious injury.
Nevertheless, Barcelona are backing the 19-year-old to provide good return on their investment of just €2million.
“I’m very happy to sign for Barca, it’s a dream come true,” Bardghji told Sport just after he landed in Spain.
Bardghji is expected to take part in Barcelona’s pre-season tour of Asia, although some have wondered if he might spend his time shared between the first team and the B team once the new season comes around.
Barcelona loan signings
Marcus Rashford
- From: Manchester United
- Length: Season-long
- Position: Forward
- Age: 27
Barcelona was the dream destination for Rashford, who was playing for a move there ever since signing for Aston Villa on loan in February and has got his wish.
Rather than it being a permanent signing, Rashford has joined Barcelona on loan, although there will be an option for them to buy him.
Rashford has become Barcelona’s first English player – in the men’s first team – since Gary Lineker.
He will be used either as a left winger, to rotate with Raphinha, or as a centre-forward, to afford Robert Lewandowski some rest.
“I’m very excited,” Rashford told Barcelona’s YouTube channel. “It’s a club where people’s dreams come true, they win big prizes.
“What the club stands for means a lot for me. I feel like I’m at home and a big factor in my choice to come here is because it is a family place and a good place for good players to showcase their skills.
“Another factor is because the conversations I had with [Hansi Flick] were positive. What he did last season was terrific. To lead such a young team to a very successful season and come back to pre-season and still want to do more, it shows me everything I thought I knew about the club and it’s everything I wished.
“I’m eager to learn the Barcelona way.”
Barcelona exits
Alex Valle
- To: Como
- Fee: £5.2m
- Position: Left-back
- Age: 21
Former Barcelona B full-back and academy graduate Valle spent the second half of last season on loan at Como, who exercised their option to buy him for €6m.
Valle was at Celtic on loan before that and had earlier spells with Andorra and Levante, but never made his senior debut for Barcelona’s first team.
He played 15 times in Serie A for Como after his mid-season switch and will now be continuing there under Cesc Fabregas’ guidance.
Clement Lenglet
- To: Atletico Madrid
- Fee: Free
- Position: Centre-back
- Age: 30
Lenglet became a difficult player for Barcelona to offload in recent years; they sent him on loan to Tottenham Hotspur in 2022-23, Aston Villa in 2023-24 and Atletico Madrid in 2024-25.
The latter have now kept him on a permanent basis, but Barcelona terminated his contract to facilitate the move rather than receiving a fee.
The former Sevilla defender made 160 appearances for Barcelona over four seasons before his series of loan spells leading to his exit began.
He signed a three-year contract with Atleti after making 36 appearances for them on loan.

Aleix Garrido
- To: Eibar
- Fee: Free
- Position: Midfielder
- Age: 21
La Masia graduate Garrido made a solitary senior appearance for Barcelona in April 2023, before continuing with the B team for the next couple of years.
Garrido captained the reserves prior to his contract expiring. He has signed a three-year contract with Eibar in the Segunda Division.
Sergi Dominguez
- To: Dinamo Zagreb
- Fee: £1m
- Position: Centre-back
- Age: 20
Dominguez earned his first three appearances for Barcelona’s first team last season in LaLiga, as well as two in the Champions League and one in the Copa del Rey.
Although he was born in Barcelona, he only spent five years on their books and has now been sold to Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb – Dani Olmo’s former club – for €1.2m.
“I am thrilled to have arrived in Zagreb,” Dominguez said, before revealing: “Of course Dani Olmo told me a lot about the club and the city, so I have high and positive expectations. Dinamo is a club that aims to win trophies and that is why I came here.”
Noah Darvich
- To: Stuttgart
- Fee: £0.9m
- Position: Attacking midfielder
- Age: 18
Barcelona signed Darvich from Freiburg in 2023, but he has now returned to German football after two years with the B team.
Stuttgart have signed the midfielder, who told their official website: “Barcelona was a great adventure. It was like being in a movie. I got to play and train alongside my childhood idols.”
Darvich is now eyeing Bundesliga involvement as the next checkpoint in his development. After cashing in for just under €1m, according to reports, Barcelona will have the right of first refusal on his next move.
Pau Prim
- To: Al Sadd
- Fee: Free
- Position: Midfielder
- Age: 19
There were high hopes for Prim as he rose through the ranks in the Barcelona academy. Ultimately, he made 30 appearances for their reserves, but never played competitively with the first team.
The teenager has now moved to Qatari side Al Sadd, where Xavi used to play.
In an emotional Instagram post, Prim said: “The most special stage of my life so far ends. After so many years defending this shield, the time has come to say goodbye. A farewell full of emotions and feelings that I can never describe. It’s hard for me to leave, but I know that everything has a cycle.”
Pablo Torre
- To: Mallorca
- Fee: £4.3m
- Position: Midfielder
- Age: 22
After spending the 2023-24 season on loan at Girona, Torre made a decent start to 2024-25 with three LaLiga goals by the end of October.
However, the attacking midfielder found starts hard to come by and became crowded out by better players in his position.
His contract was approaching its final year, so Barcelona have taken the opportunity to cash in for €5m, selling him to Mallorca, where he has agreed a four-year contract.
Torre’s final tally for Barcelona was 27 appearances and five goals.
Pau Victor
- To: Braga
- Fee: £10.5m
- Position: Forward
- Age: 23
After playing for Barcelona’s B team in 2023-24 following a move from Girona, and then the first team in 2024-25, Victor has departed the club to join Braga in Portugal.
The deal is worth €12m and has seen Victor end his Barcelona career on two goals from 29 appearances.
“Today marks the end of a chapter that has shaped my life. A chapter that has been much more than football: it has been a dream come true,” Victor posted on Instagram.
Inigo Martinez
- To: Al-Nassr
- Fee: Free
- Position: Centre-back
- Age: 34
Martinez spent two seasons as an experienced member of the Barcelona backline after joining from Athletic Club in 2023.
He signed an extension to his original two-year contract back in March, but was still permitted to leave without a transfer fee when Al-Nassr made their move five months later.
Martinez has signed a one-year contract in the Saudi Pro League with the option to extend by a further 12 months.
Barcelona loan exits
Ander Astralaga
- To: Granada
- Length: Season-long
- Position: Goalkeeper
- Age: 21
Astralaga’s loan covers the period until the end of his Barcelona contract, although they are believed to have an option to prolong his stay until 2028.
The goalkeeper was still playing for the B team last season, but has now signed up for a new challenge in the Segunda Division with Granada.
The arrival of Garcia and recovery of Ter Stegen have only served to push him further down the pecking order for first-team minutes, so he will develop elsewhere instead.
Ansu Fati
- To: Monaco
- Length: Season-long
- Position: Winger
- Age: 22
Fati’s career hasn’t progressed the way Barcelona thought it would when they made him their first no.10 after Lionel Messi.
A surprise loan move to Brighton followed in the 2023-24 season. Neither did he light up the Premier League, nor make a significant impression when back with Barcelona last season, playing just 11 times and never scoring.
The next step for Fati is to spend the 2025-26 season on loan with Monaco, who will reportedly cover half of his wages while Barcelona subsidise the other half.
Monaco have an option to buy Fati for €11m (£9.5m) at the end of his loan spell.
Aron Yaakobishvili
- To: Andorra
- Length: Season-long
- Position: Goalkeeper
- Age: 19
Hungary youth international Yaakobishvili hasn’t played for Barcelona’s first team yet, despite first sitting on the bench back in 2023.
The B team keeper has moved to Andorra – the club owned by Gerard Pique – for a season in the Segunda Division.
Inaki Pena
- To: Elche
- Length: Season-long
- Position: Goalkeeper
- Age: 26
The third and most familiar goalkeeper to be loaned out by Barcelona this summer, Pena has joined fellow LaLiga side Elche for the rest of the season.
It’s his second loan spell away from the club after a previous stint with Galatasaray in 2022.
Pena hoped to step up after Ter Stegen’s injury last season but was ousted by Wojciech Szczesny and so it became imperative for him to find somewhere else to play.
Nevertheless, he signed a three-year contract extension with Barcelona before heading out on loan.
