La Liga
The Latest news from FC Barcelona once again places Jeremy Monga, a 17-year-old English winger, on the club's radar for the upcoming season. Manchester City signed him this summer and loaned him to Swansea City, but Barça is keeping tabs on him and could consider a deal close to 20 million euros in 2027.
Barcelona's interest is not new. Monga had already been tracked by Barça during his time at Leicester City, before Manchester's team jumped ahead this summer and secured his signing.
FC Barcelona Continues to Monitor Jeremy Monga
Manchester City brought in Monga on July 11, 2026 from Leicester. The deal was closed for around 10 million pounds plus add-ons, and the player signed a five-year contract until June 30, 2031.
This move has not stopped FC Barcelona from following his progress. The Catalan club had listed the winger among the young talents monitored in England and will now evaluate his development under contract with one of the wealthiest clubs in the Premier League.
Monga joined City after playing 30 official matches with Leicester in the 2025/26 season, where he scored one goal and provided two assists. His breakthrough had started earlier: he made his Premier League debut at 15 years and 271 days.
He also set a record in the Championship. At 16 years and 37 days, he became the youngest scorer in the competition's history by netting against Preston North End.

Manchester City Loans Him to Swansea Ahead of Decision on His Future
The next stage of his career will unfold away from Manchester. City decided to loan Jeremy Monga to Swansea City during the 2026/27 season, aiming for him to gain regular senior football minutes.
The loan will be one of the aspects that FC Barcelona will monitor before considering a move. At 17 years of age and a contract until 2031, any attempts to sign him will require direct negotiations with the English club, which has recently made a significant investment to acquire him.
According to available information regarding Barcelona's interest, a potential deal for the summer of 2027 could be around 20 million euros. Currently, there is no formal offer or discussions between the two clubs for that amount.
This amount would approximately double the fixed amount paid by City this summer, although the variables included in his Leicester purchase will need to be considered to assess the actual cost of parting ways with the player just a year later.
FC Barcelona will now have the entire season to observe Monga's performance at Swansea before deciding whether to turn monitoring into negotiations. His playing time, Championship performance, and Manchester City's stance will be the three factors influencing any transfer attempt in the summer of 2027.
