At this point, it has become well-established that FC Barcelona intend to sign a new centre-back in the summer transfer window of 2026.

Born in Granollers, to a Moroccan father and Spanish mother, Ziani has been at La Masia since a young age and is held in high regard at the club, where he is currently a part of the Juvenil B (U-18) setup.

He has already represented Morocco at the U-16 and U-17 levels, but the Spanish Football Federation is also closely monitoring his progress with an eye on the future.

Indeed, the La Liga champions have offered the German tactician a contract extension of at least one additional season, which would tie him to the club until June 2028. The aim of the Barcelona sporting department is to protect and stabilise the project in which all parties feel comfortable, with Flick at the helm of affairs. The plan is to extend his deal by just one year, as the German coach is not keen on long-term contracts.

FC Barcelona has issued a strong denial in response to claims from the platform Som un Clam, stating that the club is not using its resources to influence the vote of its members or conduct electoral campaigns.

The statement added that any polls currently circulating are completely independent of the club, and reminded that the personal data of members is protected under current data protection legislation.

As FC Barcelona get set to take on CA Osasuna later today in Matchday 16 of the 2025/26 La Liga season, manager Hansi Flick has announced the squad list for the game.

Chelsea believe Casado possesses the versatility, tactical intelligence and technical quality required to adapt to the demands of English football. Barcelona are used to it For what it is worth, this is not an isolated case, as Chelsea have been monitoring Barcelona's squad for months. Previously, they explored several profiles across different positions and names, such as Fermin Lopez, Eric Garcia, Jules Kounde, and Ronald Araujo have all been linked at various stages.

FC Barcelona have their sights on three areas to strengthen in the summer of 2026 - a new centre-forward, a left-footed centre-back, and a left-winger.

The former Leganes wonderkid has caught the attention of Barça manager Hansi Flick and is a player that the club are monitoring.

I don't know if there is a wound or not. I can't say anything beyond what Leo means to Barça. That will never change, no matter who is there, no matter when. I don't know if he will return at some point and in what capacity, but the most important thing is what Leo means to Barça.

A different kind of comeback - FC Barcelona Barça's season has had one clear theme: comebacks. Especially over the past month, with Flick's side repeatedly overturning difficult scorelines to walk away with all three points.

Indeed, as relayed by the Spanish outlet, Raphinha is now seen as absolutely untransferable for the Catalans, contrary to reports last week. He is a leading figure in the dressing room and on the field, and Flick sees him to be one of the cornerstones of his project. Raphinha is happy at the club, and his family is well settled in the city.
