As the transfer window nears its close, Barcelona is focused on wrapping up its squad-building efforts for the 2025/26 season.
Under Hansi Flick’s guidance, the club has already navigated significant changes, including the departures of Inaki Pena and Oriol Romeu, while successfully registering Wojciech Szczesny and Gerard Romero.
Despite lingering speculation around Fermin Lopez’s potential move to Chelsea, Barcelona are now honing in on their last critical tasks to ensure a competitive roster for a demanding season ahead.
According to Diario Sport, Barcelona’s two remaining objectives are the departure of Hector Fort and the registration of Roony Bardghji.
Fort, a young defender, has slipped down the pecking order and is close to joining Mallorca, who see him as a replacement for Pablo Maffeo.
The deal is expected to be finalized before the deadline, allowing Fort to secure regular playing time elsewhere.
Meanwhile, the registration of Swedish winger Roony Bardghji is the club’s other priority.
Bardghji, who shone during pre-season, has been delayed by administrative hurdles but is expected to be cleared for action post-international break, bolstering Barcelona’s attacking options.
These moves are pivotal as Barcelona braces for a grueling schedule, including seven matches in three weeks with Champions League clashes against Newcastle and PSG.
Bardghji’s versatility on the wings will add depth, especially with Flick’s reliance on pacey attackers like Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.
Fort’s exit, while bittersweet, reflects Barcelona’s strategic focus on streamlining the squad and prioritizing players ready for immediate impact.
As the deadline looms, the club’s ability to execute these tasks efficiently will shape its readiness for a challenging campaign.
With Flick’s vision taking shape, finalizing Fort’s transfer and Bardghji’s registration will ensure Barcelona are well-equipped to compete on all fronts.
