By hook or by crook, Barcelona have got their summer signings registered for the 2025–26 campaign, and confirmation of the club’s squad numbers for the new season points towards stability after a rather tense transfer window.
Hansi Flick’s debut campaign returned three pieces of domestic silverware, and few are betting against the Blaugrana in the German manager’s sophomore year.
They have an alternate threat to consider in Xabi Alonso’s measured Real Madrid, and Los Blancos are the early pace-setters in La Liga after Rayo Vallecano stole a couple of points off the champions before the September international break.
Barcelona’s perpetual financial woes mean the club were limited as to what they could achieve in the summer, but Flick got fresh blood at his disposal.
There hasn’t been too much turnover in personnel, but a couple of Barça’s first-team stars have opted for new beginnings on the shirt number front.
