Barca is already laying out the plan to rebuild a squad capable of reclaiming glory. The goal is to chase a treble once more next season. No signings have been announced yet, but announcements are expected in the weeks ahead. The club aims to finalize the roster before the European Championship and the America’s Cup begin. The prevailing expectation is a lean, cost-conscious refresh rather than a wholesale rebuild.
The Barcelona women’s team has just confirmed three contract renewals: Jonatan Giráldez, Gemma Font and the versatile Crnogorcevic. Two contracts that remain unresolved are Lieke Martens and Jenni Hermoso, both due to expire on June 30. While not yet official, the strongest indications point toward Martens moving to Paris Saint-Germain this summer, with Hermoso’s future still uncertain. A transfer for Martens to PSG seems increasingly likely as the window progresses.
Initially, some rumours framed Martens’s potential move as a ploy by France to keep Barcelona from the second UWCL title race. Now it appears Martens is moving closer to the Parisian club. Hermoso’s situation remains unsettled. Early on, it looked as though the defender would stay, but Martens’s departure forced the club to act quickly to fill the gap.
Andrea Pereira remains a question mark in this market. After Irene Paredes arrived, Pereira had limited opportunities and could be loaned to Levante next season, according to Sport. So far, only a few departures have been confirmed: Leila Ouahabi joined Manchester City, while Melanie Serrano has retired. The list of players returning from loan includes Laia Codina (AC Milan) and Emma Ramírez (Real Sociedad), along with Andrea Hawk, who is moving forward with her career elsewhere. Gio Queiroz, who accused the club of abusive behavior last April, is also ending his loan spell this summer and will not return to Barça despite a one-year contract extension.
The club’s priority in this window is to strengthen the left-back position and the forward line to offset the losses of Ouahabi and Martens. Early targets included Katoto and Ona Batlle, who excelled with PSG and Manchester United, but both are drifting away from Barça for financial reasons. Nuria Rabano, a player close to the club, produced an outstanding season with Real Sociedad. Geyse Ferreira and Vicky López, both from Madrid CFF, are also highlighted as promising options with significant character. In López’s case, it might have been more sensible to integrate her with Barça’s youth system given her age and potential.
few long names
Barça’s transfer market outlook is less active than anticipated this season, especially given the ambitious target of becoming Europe’s best. With Martens’s departure, the club faces a challenge to replace one of the most influential players in the current squad. The aim is not to chase a flashy headline signing but to find players who can contribute consistently at the highest level. The club’s plan remains focused on strategic additions rather than splashing big money. Several European clubs, including Lyon, have already bolstered their squads, while Barça appears to be waiting for the right balance of value and impact.
Olympique Lyon has reinforced with Sara Däbritz, and Manchester City has announced three signings from the Iberdrola league. Barça, meanwhile, has been quieter in the market beyond domestic moves. The next steps will likely involve assessing further domestic talent and scouring Europe for players who fit the club’s long-term vision.
Barça is actively planning a methodical rearmament aimed at reclaiming its status as a European powerhouse. The window is shaping up as a test of the club’s ability to balance strategic signings with the development of younger players, ensuring they remain competitive while respecting financial constraints. The challenge will be to replace a poitive rhythm with new energy across multiple positions, maintaining the balance that has defined the team in recent seasons.
As the summer transfer window approaches, attention will turn to how the management negotiates contracts, loans, and potential incoming players who can adapt quickly to Barça’s style. The objective remains clear: strengthen key lines, integrate emerging talents, and sustain the club’s pursuit of European success while navigating the realities of modern football economics.
