Everything to know about FC Barcelona's summer transfer window

Barcelona's summer transfer window has been especially busy in 2026, with a net spend of €88 million so far for the Catalan club. It's been a summer marked by the end of an era with Robert Lewandowski's departure, a marquee signing in Anthony Gordon, and several ongoing sagas still to be resolved: Rodri's arrival, Ferran Torres' move to PSG, João Cancelo's future and Marcus Rashford's situation.

Confirmed arrivals

  • Anthony Gordon — from Newcastle, around €80m, the summer's biggest signing
  • Karim Adeyemi — from Borussia Dortmund, €22m

Confirmed departures

  • Robert Lewandowski — free transfer to Chicago Fire (MLS), closing out a decisive run in front of goal
  • Ansu Fati — to AS Monaco, €11m
  • Iñaki Peña — to Panathinaikos, €3m
  • Marc-André ter Stegen — loan to Ajax Amsterdam
  • Dani Rodríguez — free transfer to Dinamo Zagreb
  • Diego Kochen — loan to Lyngby

Still unresolved

  • Rodri — a fee of around €50m has been agreed with Manchester City, with his arrival expected on August 12
  • Ferran Torres — a deal with PSG for a similar fee is closing in, with the move expected to be wrapped up before August 12
  • João Cancelo — advanced talks with Al-Hilal over a permanent move worth around €10m, not yet officially confirmed
  • Marcus Rashford — his loan at Barcelona has ended and he's on course to return to Manchester United, though Barça still hope to negotiate a fresh loan late in the window
  • Ronald Araujo — a season-long loan to Liverpool with a buy option has been agreed, with only the medical and paperwork left to complete the move

The financial picture

So far, Barcelona's transfer window balance stands at -€88m (a figure that could still shift depending on how the Rodri, Ferran Torres, Cancelo and Rashford situations are resolved).

Key facts

  • Anthony Gordon is the summer's biggest signing at around €80m.
  • Robert Lewandowski left the club on a free transfer, joining Chicago Fire in MLS.
  • Rodri is closing in while Ferran Torres edges toward PSG, both expected around August 12.
  • Rashford is on course to return to Manchester United once his loan ends, and Cancelo remains in advanced but unofficial talks with Al-Hilal.
