Lamine Yamal has shared a fitness update on social media ahead of World Cup 2026. The Barcelona star is working his way back from a hamstring injury and looks to be progressing well.

Reports on Tuesday had revealed that Jakub Kiwior is one of the names on Barcelona's shortlist as they look to shore up their options at the back this summer. The Polish centre-back is coming off the back of a promising season at FC Porto, after joining the club on a loan deal from Arsenal. Barcelona not interested in Kiwior However, according to Mundo Deportivo, Kiwior is not among the options on Barcelona's sporting management's shortlist to bolster their central defence.

“We're working, we're going to bring in some players. For now we can't say anything about Joao Pedro, we're interested in several players. We haven't spoken to the clubs yet,” he said.

Jan Virigili has been linked with a return to Barcelona throughout this season as the Catalans search for a new left winger for next season. The former Barcelona player made 31 appearances for Mallorca this season in La Liga, scoring twice and grabbing four assists.

Deco travelled to London alongside his assistant Bojan Krkic and the club's head of scouting, Joao Amaral, in order to advance discussions regarding Pedro. This is not the first occasion on which Deco has travelled to London to monitor the Chelsea forward. Due to Barcelona encountering difficulties in their pursuit of Alvarez, partly because of pressure from PSG, the club's director had already travelled to London previously to assess the Brazilian first-hand.

Barcelona are finally preparing to operate with far greater freedom in the market once again. According to reports from AS, the Catalan giants now believe they will have the ability to invest slightly more than €100 million on reinforcements this summer if the right opportunity appears. Within the club, there is growing optimism that the club is close to fully returning to La Liga's 1:1 financial rule, a situation that could completely transform their transfer strategy.

With the season at Elche now finished and survival secured after a dramatic ending to the campaign, Hector Fort has already switched his focus back toward FC Barcelona. Indeed, according to SPORT, the right-back wants to push hard before Barcelona's preseason begins in order to arrive in the best possible physical condition and fight for a place in the first-team squad.

Barcelona may be preparing for important changes in the coaching staff this summer after Hansi Flick identified physical conditioning as one of the club's biggest weaknesses. According to AS, the German coach is understood to have requested the arrival of an additional fitness specialist ahead of next season as part of his plans to raise the team's competitiveness at European level.

There is growing uncertainty around the future of Barcelona youth team defender Jofre Torrents, with SPORT reporting that the club is not ruling out a loan departure this summer. The young defender was one of the surprise names to impress Hansi Flick during pre-season last year. His performances earned him a place around the first-team setup early in the 2025/26 campaign, showing that the coaching staff viewed him as a crucial option for the season.
