According to Mundo Deportivo, Abdelkarim is waiting to obtain the work permit that will allow him to play for Barça Atletic. From the offices at the Ciutat Esportiva, it is stated that there is no exact forecast as to when the approval will be received.

Misfortune struck Marc-Andre Ter Stegen when he suffered a tear in his left hamstring only days after joining Girona on loan from FC Barcelona in the January transfer window. The 33-year-old goalkeeper underwent surgery to treat the problem in Finland and is now staring at a lengthy spell out on the sidelines.

The 18-year-old La Masia graduate, who had made his first-team breakthrough earlier this season under Hansi Flick, signed for French champions PSG in the winter.

No one can be considered a true fan of a sports team unless they believe the rest of the world is trying to get them. The "us versus them" mentality helps fuel our love for our favorite teams, which makes it even sweeter when that one enemy we hate above all others is finally conquered. Barcelona have had to deal with quite a few villains in their history, with their connection to Catalonia inviting some extra challenges that went far beyond normal sports competition.
William Maddock says he has a signing lined up "of the level of Ronaldinho or Beckham." Maddock is a Barcelona-based businessman and club member who has emerged as a surprise pre-candidate in the presidential race "It's a real bombshell," he said. At Barça, invoking Ronaldinho is kind of a big deal. Mentioning him and Beckham together inevitably brings back memories of 2003, when Joan Laporta campaigned on the English star before pivoting to the Brazilian who changed the club's trajectory.
Barcelona's search for young defensive talent has led the club to closely monitor several promising full-backs across Europe.

In recent weeks, the Portuguese prospect has been strongly linked with a possible move to Camp Nou. The interest comes at a time when the club is evaluating whether it is the right moment to invest in a long-term option for the full-back position.
Hansi Flick's side were 4-0 down at half-time after a frankly awful first-half display but thought they'd found a way back into the match when Pau Cubarsi pulled one back in the second half.

According to recent reports from England, relayed by AS, it has emerged that Liverpool are considering an €80 million offer for Jules Kounde in the upcoming transfer window.

The Catalan club paid €50 million plus €10 million in add-ons for his services, and since then, he has grown into a vital figure at the back.
