Barcelona’s Transfer Plans Stalled as Players Refuse to Leave

Barcelona’s summer transfer activity has hit a standstill, with no squad members willing to exit despite interest. Players like Fermin Lopez, Marc Casado, and Andreas Christensen have rejected moves, hindering sales and income. Only Oriol Romeu is close to leaving, while Mallorca eyes Hector Fort for €5 million. Major squad changes remain unlikely.

When the summer transfer window is nearing its end, Barcelona are struggling to make any moves due to an unexpected situation. According to SPORT, none of the current squad members are willing to leave, including players with limited roles under Hansi Flick. This standstill is preventing the club from freeing up wage space or generating revenue through sales.

Several players like Fermin Lopez, Marc Casado, and Andreas Christensen have attracted interest from other clubs. Casado wants to stay and fight for his place until at least January, while Fermin, despite interest from Manchester United, is part of Flick’s rotation plans. Christensen, whose contract ends in 2026 and will not be renewed, was expected to bring in a small transfer fee, but he is also staying put.

The only likely exit is Oriol Romeu, who is training alone as the club negotiates a contract termination to ease his departure. Additionally, Hector Fort could be sold to Mallorca for €5 million for 50% of his rights, while Inaki Pena’s future depends on registration issues. Barça had considered selling a high-value player to tackle financial constraints but have accepted that the squad may stay intact unless a significant offer emerges in the final days.
