FC Barcelona's transfer plans are taking shape, with the latest name linked to the club being Manchester City's Vitor Reis. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 23 possible arrivals and 10 potential exits, with the hottest storyline right now revolving around Julián Álvarez. The following is a roundup of the latest news on the most important transfer rumours surrounding the Catalan club.
Vitor Reis
On Tuesday, it was reported that FC Barcelona is observing central defender Vitor Reis with the objective of reinforcing its defense for 2027. The 20-year-old Brazilian, who is owned by Manchester City and spent this season on loan at Girona, is valued by Deco and Hansi Flick. The Catalan club has initiated contact with the City Group to negotiate a potential loan that includes a purchase option, and Reis is also a target for Carlo Ancelotti.
Ayyoub Bouaddi
FC Barcelona have shown interest in Lille's teenage midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi, according to a report on Monday. The 18-year-old is also being pursued by several other top European clubs, with Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain reportedly the main clubs in the chase. Lille is demanding a fee of more than £60 million for the Moroccan international, who has three years remaining on his contract and made 30 appearances in the 2025/2026 Ligue 1 season.
Julián Álvarez
Julián Álvarez remains the main target for FC Barcelona to reinforce the striker position following Robert Lewandowski's departure. On Monday, journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that FC Barcelona sent a formal offer of 100 million euros by e-mail for the player, information that Mundo Deportivo confirmed from highly credible club sources. Atlético de Madrid denied the existence of the offer to various media, stating it was a lie from FC Barcelona, though Mundo Deportivo maintains that the offer exists. Atlético de Madrid will reportedly try to get as much money as possible for his transfer. This followed reports from Saturday suggesting Arsenal may be his only realistic option after Atletico Madrid had already rejected €150m from Real Madrid.
Marcus Rashford
According to Fabrizio Romano on Tuesday, Marcus Rashford has formally returned to Manchester United as the €30m buy option clause for Barcelona has now expired. A decision on his future has not yet been made, with Barcelona still interested in keeping him but only on a loan basis, while Manchester United is not making a quick decision. This came after a Monday report from Team Talk stated that Barcelona had decided not to activate the option. The LaLiga champions reportedly want Rashford to return but not for €30m and are hopeful of exploring another loan or a permanent deal at a lower price later in the transfer window.
Lucas Herrington
On Saturday, The Sydney Morning Herald reported that Colorado Rapids rejected a first offer of 10 million from FC Barcelona for Lucas Herrington. The same publication also described a bid from Barcelona as historic, though it was rejected for being lower than the club's valuation of the player. Amid the transfer rumors, Herrington stated that he is not thinking too much about the future and is currently focused on Colorado and the World Cup.
E. Kroupi
Barcelona are considering Junior Kroupi as an alternative to Julian Alvarez, a move they consider to be risky, according to reports on Monday. The club reportedly likes the 19-year-old but would prefer to begin negotiations next season. While Bournemouth are demanding €100m for Kroupi, Barcelona's valuation is said to be closer to €70m, and the club is aware of competition from clubs like Arsenal to sign him.
Bradley Barcola
According to a Saturday report from Fichajes, Paris Saint-Germain have turned down a reduced-price offer of €50 million from Barcelona for winger Bradley Barcola. On the same day, Team Talk reported that Barcola has informed Paris Saint-Germain that he wants to leave this summer and that Barcelona have held conversations regarding his availability.
