La Liga
The Barcelona transfer market saw several academy players who had already featured for the first team leave during the summer of 2026. Marc Casadó, Héctor Fort, Jofre Torrents, Toni Fernández, Álvaro Cortés, and Ansu Fati moved to new destinations, while La Masia generated around 60 million euros through transfers, percentages, and solidarity mechanisms.
Barcelona and the new destinations of its academy players
Marc Casadó, a 23-year-old midfielder, was loaned to Deportivo until June 30, 2027. The player had featured in 75 matches for the first team, with 1 goal and 7 assists, before seeking playing time in A Coruña.
His start was hindered by an injury. Casadó had played in 3 LaLiga matches and amassed 120 minutes, but suffered a collarbone fracture against Betis on September 20 and is expected to be sidelined for about three months.
Héctor Fort, a 20-year-old defender, was transferred to Real Sociedad on August 29 with a contract until 2031. Barcelona holds a buy-back option and a percentage of a future sale.
Fort has only played 10 minutes in LaLiga this season, coming on as a substitute against Elche. During his previous loan spell at Elche, he featured in 17 matches, scoring 3 goals and providing 2 assists, numbers that piqued Real Sociedad's interest.
Jofre Torrents, a 19-year-old left-back, joined Ajax after making four appearances for Barcelona's first team during the 2025/26 season. His start in the Netherlands has been limited: he has played 9 minutes in Eredivisie without scoring or assisting.

Toni Fernández, an 18-year-old forward, moved to Venezia on September 1 with a buy-back clause for Barcelona and a percentage of a future sale. The player had only featured in 2 matches for the first team before leaving the club.
In Italy, he has already played 2 games and 56 minutes in Serie A, yet to score or provide an assist. His departure keeps Barcelona linked to a potential future deal through the conditions set in the agreement.
La Masia approaches 100 million for Barcelona
Álvaro Cortés, a 21-year-old center-back, was transferred to Royal Antwerp on September 1 after becoming the captain of Barça Atlètic and making his first-team debut in May. Barcelona retains a percentage of a future sale.
Cortés has already started in Belgium, playing 90 minutes in the Pro League. He completed his first full match on September 5 against Standard de Lieja.
Ansu Fati, a 23-year-old forward, also left Barcelona this summer to join Monaco. He ended his time at Barcelona with 123 matches and 29 goals, while the Catalan club reserved a percentage of a future sale.
The operations from La Masia reached around 60 million euros by the end of the transfer market, with Ansu Fati and Tommy Marqués as the highest sales, both amounting to 11 million euros. Considering the other transfers in the market, Barcelona nearly reached the 100 million euros mark generated by player exits.
The focus moves to Casadó, whose recovery will define his first loan spell with Deportivo, and to Fort, Torrents, Toni Fernández, and Cortés, who need to secure playing time at their new clubs. For Barcelona, their progression will also determine the evaluation of potential buy-backs and retained percentages in deals maintaining the relationship with several of their academy players.
