FC Barcelona have agreed a deal to sign young defender Patricio Pacifico from Uruguayan club Defensor Sporting, confirms Fabrizio Romano. The Italian transfer expert has given his trademark 'here we go' seal of approval for the deal, with the 19-year-old starlet set to arrive in Catalonia imminently. As per the update from Romano, Pacifico will be arriving on a loan deal with a buy option worth €1.8 million plus add-ons.

We'll talk about it when it's all finalized. He has announced that he won't be staying,

After having endured a difficult last season at FC Barcelona, Ansu Fati left the club in the summer to join AS Monaco on a year-long loan. Having had a slow start, the La Masia forward burst into form and scored some important goals for the Ligue 1 outfit. But with the managerial change, his standing within the team went down again, stopping him from building on his promising form.

After facing a defeat against Real Sociedad in La Liga, FC Barcelona will be gunning to return to winning ways when they take on Slavia Prague in the UEFA Champions League later tonight. Ahead of kickoff in Czechia, Hansi Flick has announced the starting lineup that will take the field against the minnows. Roony Bardghji gets a start on the right flank tonight, considering that Lamine Yamal is unavailable due to suspension.

By signing Joan Garcia in the summer transfer window of 2025, FC Barcelona have secured the present and the future of their goalkeeping department. Just six months into his tenure at the club, the 24-year-old has already proven his worth with some stunning performances and is going to play an important role in any success the Blaugrana enjoy in the years to come.

Marc Casado has endured a difficult season at FC Barcelona this season, having found minutes extremely hard to come by under Hansi Flick. The 22-year-old starlet enjoyed his breakthrough during the last campaign, but has been reduced to a marginal role this time around. After all, the likes of Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, Marc Bernal, and even Eric Garcia are now ahead of him in the pecking order. With Gavi's return from injury imminent, Casado's prospects will likely get even bleaker.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the situation of Guille Fernandez at FC Barcelona has become delicate. His lack of playing time with Barça Atletic has reignited interest from several clubs that have been monitoring him for some time, while the 17-year-old midfielder, frustrated by his situation, is considering his immediate future. So far this season in Segunda RFEF, Guille has featured in 12 matches, starting only four of them,

You can't even talk to him. I don't understand it. I'm the captain and I can talk to the referee, but he looks at me as if he's above you. It's very frustrating. He can't behave like that.

Barcelona's 11-match winning run came to an end as 10-man Real Sociedad clung on to secure a 2-1 win over the LaLiga leaders in a gripping contest at the Reale Arena. Mikel Oyarzabal put Sociedad ahead at the interval after Barca had three goals chalked off and a penalty overturned for offside, but Marcus Rashford for the visitors levelled eight minutes after his introduction from the bench. Sociedad retook the lead less than a minute later through Gonçalo Guedes and not even Carlos Soler's straight red card in the closing stages could prevent them from claiming a hard-fought victory.

For over a decade, the back of the Barcelona shirt has been a space dedicated to social causes rather than commercial gain. Since 2012, the space below the number has been occupied by UNICEF, and later by UNHCR since the summer of 2022. Far from generating revenue, these partnerships actually saw the club pay €400,000 per season to the UN agency. However, with the UNHCR contract expiring this summer, the club has decided to monetise this asset for the first time.

Although the season is only at its halfway point, the sporting department of FC Barcelona is already working on shaping the squad for next season. No final decisions have been taken yet, but a clear roadmap has been drawn up regarding the attacking unit. As has already been reported, Barça intend to retain Marcus Rashford's services beyond this season. The Catalans have a €30 million purchase option for the Manchester United loanee, although they might look to negotiate a lower fee.

According to a report by Gianluigi Longari (h/t Mundo Deportivo), Andres Cuenca, a left-footed centre-back and one of the most promising defensive prospects at FC Barcelona, has attracted interest from clubs in Serie A. Cuenca, 18, is part of the Barça Atletic setup currently, while he has already made his senior debut for the Blaugrana under Hansi Flick during the 2024/25 season.

Although Mingueza wasn't able to make an impact at Barcelona, the club managed to retain 50% of his transfer rights when they sold him to Celta Vigo, valid till the duration of his contract with the new club. It didn't take long for Mingueza to make an impact at Celta, and for a time, it appeared the Barcelona were going to earn a solid chunk of revenue as big clubs circled around the defender.

One of the most heartwarming moments during the celebrations came when senior midfielder Frenkie de Jong called young prospect Tommy Marques to click a picture together with the trophy. It was a nice touch from De Jong, given that the La Masia gem had gone on record a few months ago naming the Dutchman as one of his idols. Flick trusts the 'other Frenkie' Meanwhile, in the background, Pau Cubarsi, who was watching from close by, joked: "Two Frenkies, two Frenkies!"
