FC Barcelona has decided to definitively close the transfer market without making any signings on the last available day. Despite exploring various options in recent weeks, the lack of financial leeway in the financial fair play regulations has been the major obstacle to adding reinforcements. The sports management, led by Deco, focused on prioritizing the renewal of key players rather than seeking new faces for the squad.

One of the big names that was on the table was Marcus Rashford. The English forward was open to the possibility of joining the Blaugrana and was willing to make an economic effort to facilitate the operation. However, the club's financial limitations made his arrival unfeasible. With no movements at Barcelona, Rashford chose to accept Aston Villa's offer, which ultimately secured his services.

No exits expected either

The Catalan entity also explored the possibility of offloading some players to free up salary space and facilitate possible reinforcements. However, the negotiations did not come to fruition. Ansu Fati, despite lacking the coach's trust, preferred to stay with the team. Eric García, sought after by Girona and Como, was retained by Hansi Flick, who considers him an important piece. Additionally, the potential departures of Héctor Fort and Andreas Christensen did not materialize.

Given this scenario and as reported by the newspaper Marca, the club has chosen to conclude its market activity. Unless an unexpected last-minute opportunity arises, the squad will remain unchanged. The sports management's priority has been to secure the team's foundation with key renewals, placing the arrival of reinforcements on the back burner.
