Barcelona FC news

Barcelona star Dani Olmo has explained why he will be wearing the No. 10 shirt for Spain at World Cup 2026.

La Roja’s shirt numbers have been released for the tournament with Olmo wearing 10, Lamine Yamal sticking with No. 19, Gavi taking the 9, Pedri wearing 20, and Ferran Torres the No. 7.

Olmo says the No. 10 has served him well in the past for Spain and he’s happy sticking with it for this summer’s tournament.

“There are no problems behind closed doors, there’s no fuss about wearing the No. 10. It’s just rumors going around outside,” he told a press conference.

“It’s a number I’ve worn before, the one we won the Euros with. It’s a number I like, so why change it when everything is going well?”

Olmo also spoke about Yamal and says his team-mate is looking good in training after injury.

“I see him doing well. He’s training little by little as part of his rehabilitation. He’s making good progress and we’re happy with that.”

Spain are currently preparing for their first warm-up match before the World Cup against Iraq on Thursday.

Goalkeeper Diego Kochen is reportedly in talks to leave Barcelona on loan ahead of the 2026-27 season.

The 19-year-old has held discussions with Danish club Lyngby about joining the club for next season in a bid to gain competitive minutes, according to Cadena SER.

Kochen has been with Barcelona Atletic but the feeling at the club is he needs to be playing at a higher level to continue his development which means a loan looks to be the best option.

There’s no clear pathway into the first team at present as Hansi Flick has Joan Garcia as his first choice, Wojciech Szczęsny as back-up and must also decide what to do with Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Inaki Pena and Áron Yaakobishvili.

Kochen does have other offers but is reportedly tempted by the proposal put forward by Lyngby. The club have just been promoted back to the Danish Superliga and would offer Kochen a leading role on the team.

Arsenal are reportedly planning to firm up their interest in Julian Alvarez and open talks with Atletico Madrid over a potential move for the Argentina star.

According to AS, the Gunners want to negotiate for the player and hope to bring him back to the Premier League for a second stint.

Alvarez is Barcelona’s top transfer target this summer and the Catalans have reportedly already made a €100m offer. Atletico are thought to want €150m for Alvarez, and AS say Arsenal have the finances available to complete such a deal.

There’s no detail yet on whether Alvarez would be keen on an Arsenal move. The striker spent time previously in the Premier League with Manchester City but reports says his priority is to go to Barca.

Arsenal have come off a season where they’ve won the Premier League and lost to PSG in the final of the Champions League on penalties.

The Gunners spent heavily on their squad last summer, bringing in the likes of Viktor Gyokeres, Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke, but reportedly want to sign a goalscorer this summer.

Manchester City defender Josko Gvardiol says he’s happy at the club but doesn’t appear to be ruling out a summer exit amid talk of interest from Barcelona.

Gvardiol has been quizzed on speculation about his future and says he’s well aware of the transfer talk but is currently focused on World Cup 2026 with Croatia.

“We’ve all seen the different rumors coming from everywhere. I’m happy at Manchester City, I have everything I need. Before the injury I played every game and almost every minute. After the World Cup we’ll see what happens,” he said, per The Croatian.

Gvardiol also spoke about his fitness after missing four months of the season with a broken leg.

“It’s not my first surgery. It’s difficult for every player to be away from the pitch. The estimate was four to six months, and I shortened that as much as possible. That was my motivation, I worked even harder to return as soon as possible. I had the World Cup in my mind.

“The goal was to play a few matches, but above all my main objective was simply to come back. I’m feeling good. As far as I’m concerned, everything is fine. The most important thing is the first training session when you return, ideally someone hits that leg right away. In the second week there was already a rough challenge in training. I have three screws in my leg now, so my right leg is stronger and sturdier than before.”

Dani Olmo is set for a new and improved contract for Barcelona that will also see the Spain star handed a pay rise by the Catalan giants.

The 28-year-old’s contract extension has “already been signed” and will come into force this summer, according to Mundo Deportivo.

Olmo’s been handed a pay rise for his third season with Barcelona as a sign of gratitude by the club. Barca want to reward his loyalty as Olmo turned down more lucrative offers when he returned to Barcelona to help the club comply with Financial Fair Play regulations.

The report adds that Olmo “even reduced his initial salary” to help the club register him and will now be given a raise to bring him into line with his standing as a regular in the first team and to “compensate for the first two seasons.”

Olmo is contracted to Barcelona until 2030 and has often divided opinion among supporters in his two years at the club since returning.

Injury problems have been an issue for Olmo, although he has been more robust in 2025-26, making 49 appearances in all competitions for Flick’s side.

Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly cooled interest in Julian Alvarez amid continued speculation about the Atletico star’s future.

Barcelona, PSG and Arsenal have all been linked with summer moves for the Argentina international, with Hansi Flick’s side having made Alvarez their top target.

According to L’Equipe, PSG held discussions about trying to bring in Alvarez but “but his indecisiveness deterred them.”

The French daily goes on to say: “Luis Enrique and Campos are quite clear on the matter: if a player doesn’t show a strong desire to join the French capital, they will move on.”

There’s been speculation already that Alvarez has told PSG and Arsenal that if he does leave Atletico this summer then it will be for Barcelona.

The Catalans giants are reported to have made an initial offer for Alvarez of €100 million, although Los Colchoneros have denied receiving an offer and have made their anger at the ongoing speculation very clear.

Anthony Gordon has sent a direct message to Barcelona fans after completing a transfer to the club from Newcastle United.

The winger has taken to social media to tell culers that the move is a “dream come true”

“Hello Culers. I’m very happy and proud to be here. It’s a dream come true. It’s not everyday you sign for a club like this. I’m going to work very hard and help the team to win many trophies,” he posted on Instagram.

“I know the responsibility it involves to play for Barcelona and I’m very excited and ready for this challenge. I’m very excited to meet my teammates and coach and start this new chapter here. I want to thank Rafa Yuste and Joan Laporta, Deco and all the people within the club for this opportunity and all the trust they have put into me.

Barcelona have moved quickly this summer to snap up Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United and hand the England winger a five-year contract at Camp Nou.

According to The Athletic, Gordon was a “special request” from Barcelona manager Hansi Flick. The German coach was “taken by the attacker’s breathless display” when Barcelona faced Newcastle in the Champions League.

Barcelona won that game 2-1 at St James’ Park in the group phase of the competition but Gordon impressed for the home side and scored a consolation goal late on.

The report adds that Gordon’s “outrageous pressing statistics” are another reason why Barca were so keen to recruit him and that he’s seen as a better fit than Marcus Rashford.

Flick is also said to have been impressed by Gordon’s “movements from wide and central areas” during the game against Barcelona, with his versatility meaning he can play on either flank or through the middle as a No. 9.

Atletico Madrid have reportedly denied receiving a €100 million offer from Barcelona for Argentina international Julian Alvarez.

It’s been widely reported that Barcelona have made an opening bid for Alvarez just days after agreeing a fee with Newcastle for Anthony Gordon.

Atletico have responded to the news and insist nothing is going on. “Just another lie,” a club source told Mundo Deportivo. The source added than if an offer were to arrive: “we won’t accept it, because Julián is not for sale.”

This follows on from another strong response from Atletico yesterday. The club accused Barcelona of “behaving like a small-team in this whole Julián affair” amid continued speculation about a potential transfer.

Atletico’s words seem unlikely to deter Barcelona. Reporter Veronica Brunati reports that Barcelona are now pondering increasing their offer for Alvarez to €135 million with variables.

Brunati adds that Barcelona and Alvarez are eager for the transfer to be agreed before the start of the World Cup.

Barcelona have reportedly agreed a deal for Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon and are hoping to complete the transfer by the end of the week.

Gordon is a versatile player who usually plays on on the left wing but can also play through the middle and will offer Hansi Flick more options in attack.

The imminent deal will have ramifications for Barcelona, particularly with regards Marcus Rashford’s future at the club.

The England international has made it clear he wants to stay but no deal has yet been agreed with Manchester United for Rashford to continue.

There’s speculation that Barca will still try to keep Rashford, despite agreeing a deal for Gordon, but it’s difficult to see how both players would fit at the club.

Barca also remain keen on signing Julian Alvarez from Atletico, pouring further doubt on Rashford’s future.

So today’s Barca Blaugranes Question of the Day is:

What does Anthony Gordon’s move to Barcelona mean for Marcus Rashford? Do you expect the Man Utd star to stay at the Camp Nou or is his time now up?

Barcelona appear to have beaten Bayern Munich to the signature of Anthony Gordon, with the Newcastle winger expected in the city today for a medical ahead of signing a five-year contract with the club.

Bayern Munich had been keen on Gordon and had also reportedly agreed personal terms with the England international over a transfer to Allianz Arena.

Like Barcelona, the Bavarians also submitted a bid on Wednesday but offered slightly less than Barcelona and were unwilling to match the Catalans, according to The Chronicle.

German media report Bayern needed to sell players to finance the deal and were considering offering cash plus goalkeeper Alexander Nubel to Newcastle. Barcelona, meanwhile, managed to agree a fee and will pay for the winger in instalments.

An update from Bild (h/t Sport) adds that Barcelona were also helped by Joan Laporta. Laporta spoke personally to Gordon and reportedly assured him he was wanted at Barca and could be registered before the World Cup.

German media view Bayern missing out on Gordon as a significant blow to the Bavarian giants, particularly after the club aimed a dig at the Catalans.

“FC Bayern is a buying club not a selling club, and Barcelona have no money anyway,” said Uli Hoeness recently after being asked about the chance of the Catalans signing Harry Kane.

Barca, meanwhile, have managed to get the deal done quickly and appear to have avoided the transfer turning into a long-running saga.

Barcelona appear to be facing a big decision on Toni Fernandez’s future this summer amid interest from Sevilla.

Fernandez is yet another exciting star to emerge from La Masia but it seems the time has come to decide where his future lies.

The talented winger will turn 18 in July and has spent the last two seasons with Barca Atletic.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the club now feel that the Second Division “is no longer enough for him” and must decide on next steps.

Barca could obviously decide to promote Fernandez to Hansi Flick’s first team but an exit is not being ruled, with Sevilla believed to be tracking his progress.

Sevilla are currently going through big changes and are reportedly on the verge of a takeover by an investment group led by Sergio Ramos,

They are unlikely to be the only club interested if Barca do decide Fernandez needs a change of scenery. There’s already been speculation that Barca could send the youngster out to Real Oviedo on loan in a bid to gain more experience.

What do you think would be best for Toni Fernandez next season? Would you like to see him given a first-team chance or is a loan spell away from the club a more suitable option? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Barcelona’s hunt for a new striker to replace Robert Lewandowski is gaining ground following the end of the season in Spain.

A new update from AS states that Barca see signing a new No. 9 as the “absolutely priority” for the summer transfer window and are hopeful they can spend big.

Lewandowski’s exit has freed up space on the wage bill and Barca are hoping to be able to return to the 1:1 rule in time for the summer window.

The report adds that Barca now plan to “spend slightly more than 100 million euros on reinforcements” and “have decided that the bulk of the investment will be for the number 9 position.”

Barca had been going for a defender as well but have cooled interest in Alessandro Bastoni and may not now bolster their backline due to the emergence of Gerard Martin and Andreas Christensen’s return to fitness.

Julian Alvarez and Joao Pedro are currently the top two targets, although current speculation claims that Atletico want €150 million for the Argentina star.
