Barcelona are working to improve their squad after a blockbuster campaign under Hansi Flick. The German manager helped his team win the league, the Copa del Rey, and the Supercopa de España in his debut season.
Meanwhile, the Catalans will face competition from the Premier League in their efforts to sign Ederson. Elsewhere, Pau Victor has shed light on his future.
On that note, let’s look at the major Barcelona transfer stories from May 29, 2025.
Barcelona will face competition from Liverpool and Manchester United in the race to sign Ederson this summer, according to Tutto Atalanta. The LaLiga champions are looking to add more quality to the middle of the park and have zeroed in on the Brazilian for the job.
The Catalans faltered in the Champions League this season, and changes are in order this summer. Ederson’s contract with Atalanta expires in 2026, making him a financially feasible target for Barcelona as well. However, the Premier League duo have already initiated contact to secure a move for the 25-year-old this summer.
Pau Victor has acknowledged that his future at Barcelona is unclear after a difficult campaign. The Spanish striker played second fiddle to Robert Lewandowski, registering two goals from 29 games, only two of which were starts.
Speaking to COPE, the 23-year-old added that his next move may no longer be in his hands.
He continued:
Victor was asked about his preferred destination, and he gave clear answer.
Victor’s contract with Barcelona runs until 2029.
Espanyol sporting director Fran Garagarza has brushed aside reports stating that they have received a bid for Joan Garcia. The Spanish custodian has been identified as a possible replacement for Marc-Andre ter Stegen by Barcelona.
The German custodian has struggled with fitness of late, and the Catalans are looking for an upgrade. Recent reports have suggested that Garcia already has a contract offer from the LaLiga champions.
However, speaking to the press, Garagarza suggested that any club trying to sign the 24-year-old will have to trigger his €25m release clause.
He continued:
Garcia registered eight clean sheets from 38 games this season for Espanyol.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer’s Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina’s glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
