Barcelona has confirmed a wave of signings this week, featuring high‑profile names like Ferran Torres, Aymeric Laporte and Kevin De Bruyne. The Catalan club, which finished the 2025 season as undisputed leader, aims to cement its dominance before the new campaign begins.
Spanish striker Ferran Torres arrives from Paris Saint‑Germain, while central defender Aymeric Laporte returns to the club after his stint at Barcelona. Additionally, midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, coming from Inter, completes the list of high‑level additions. Each announcement was made through the club's official channels, ensuring the moves are genuine.
With a squad already claiming 84 goals scored and only 30 conceded (+54 goal difference), Barcelona holds a 9‑point lead over Real Madrid. Torres adds speed and versatility up front, Laporte strengthens the back line with experience, and De Bruyne provides vision and creativity in midfield, complementing players like Frenkie de Jong, who is currently sidelined.
The team is gearing up for its next home fixture against Levante, set for 21 February 2027, where it will aim to keep its winning streak (WWWWW). With these signings, the manager expects deeper bench options, especially while Roony Bardghji remains out.
After closing the transfer window, the club will focus on preseason, fine‑tuning tactics and chemistry between newcomers and existing players. The goal is to start the new season with the same force it displayed at the end of last season, where it amassed 79 points from 31 games (26 wins, 1 draw, 4 losses).
