FC Barcelona has started its summer with big changes in its squad, signing Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi. The Catalan team is looking to strengthen its attack and maintain its position at the top of the La Liga table. The departure of Robert Lewandowski marked the starting point of the reorganization of FC Barcelona's attack. The experienced striker signed with the Chicago Fire, leaving a void in the top of the attack. The initial priority of FC Barcelona was to strengthen the center-forward position, but the scouting department, led by Deco, had already begun working on it. FC Barcelona has closed a deal without drama or prolonged negotiations to sign Anthony Gordon, the Newcastle United winger. The club paid €70 million for the 25-year-old Englishman, and an additional €10 million in bonuses. Gordon can become the perfect piece in Hans-Dieter Flick's high-pressure and vertical game system, capable of playing both as a winger and as a 'false nine'. The signing of Karim Adeyemi, from Borussia Dortmund, is even more unexpected. The agreement has already been made public, and the German forward has signed a long-term contract with FC Barcelona. The transfer fee is very attractive for a top-tier club: €22 million in guaranteed payments and an additional €7 million in bonuses. FC Barcelona is looking to strengthen its attack and maintain its position at the top of the La Liga table. The Catalan team is looking to win La Liga for the third consecutive time and bring back the Champions League trophy to the Camp Nou. The 2025-2026 season has been successful for FC Barcelona, with 95 goals scored and 36 conceded (+59 goal difference). The team is leading the La Liga table with an 8-point advantage over Real Madrid.
