"FC Barcelona have their sights on a new centre-forward for the summer of 2026, but there will likely be a few more additions, mostly in the defensive department. A new centre-back is very much on the agenda, especially given that Inigo Martinez was let go without signing a replacement. Meanwhile, a new right-back could also be on the wishlist for Hansi Flick, considering there is a lack of depth in the position,"
"Amidst this, journalist Julian Capera of ESPN Colombia reports that there have been informal talks held between Barcelona and the agents of Crystal Palace right-back Daniel Munoz. The 29-year-old defender is understood to be on the shortlist of targets prepared by the Catalans' sporting director, Deco. Munoz has been with Palace since January 2024 and has become a permanent fixture in Oliver Glasner's team, in the process establishing himself as one of the best in his role in the Premier League."
Barcelona plan summer 2026 reinforcement with a primary focus on a new centre-forward and additional defensive signings. A new centre-back ranks high on the agenda after Inigo Martinez departed without a replacement. Right-back depth is limited, leaving Eric Garcia as emergency cover for Jules Kounde and prompting interest in additions. Informal talks reportedly took place between Barcelona and the agents of Crystal Palace right-back Daniel Munoz, who joined Palace in January 2024 and has established himself in Oliver Glasner's team. Munoz signed a contract until 2028 and has expressed a dream of playing for Barcelona, though Palace may be reluctant to sell.
