Barcelona likely 26-man squad to start new season in 7 days

The wait for the 2024/25 season is almost over. Barca have only managed to bring in two new signings — Dani Olmo and Pau Victor. But their squad is already big enough and good enough to win a trophy this season.

Thus, Barca are unlikely to sign any more players before the season kicks off in seven days.

Here’s what Barca’s 26-man squad is expected to look like when the new season starts on August 17 with a game against Valencia.

Goalkeepers: Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Inaki Pena

Defenders: Hector Fort, Pau Cubarsi, Jules Kounde, Andreas Christensen, Inigo Martinez, Eric Garcia, Alejandro Balde, Ronald Araujo*.

Midfielders: Ilkay Gundogan, Marc Bernal, Fermin Lopez, Marc Casado, Pablo Torre, Dani Olmo, Pedri*, Frenkie De Jong*, Gavi*.

Forwards: Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Pau Victor, Vitor Roque, Ansu Fati*.

*Araujo, Pedri, Frenkie, Gavi and Ansu are all injured.
