Barcelona is expected to be relatively busy during the Summer Transfaars Star 2025, which will be their first since the return to the 1: 1 rule of La Liga. Reinforcements are sought in defense and attack, although a new midfielder could also be on the agenda if Frenkie de Jong eventually leaves.
De Jong has long been associated with leaving Barcelona, and that looked even more secure earlier in the season when he was a BIT part player for head coach Hansi Flick. Since then, however, he has worked back in the fight and that is why he is now willing to sign a new contract.
It is expected that conversations will take place in the coming weeks between Barcelona Sporting Director Deco and the representatives of De Jong, and although there is trust that an agreement will be reached, it is not certain. And if nothing happened before the summer, the Catalans will almost certainly place the Dutch midfielder on the transfer list, because the idea would be to cash in to prevent him from losing for free in 2026 when his current deal ends.
When De Jong leaves, Barcelona is expected to go for Newcastle United – midfielder Bruno Guimaraes – that is, according to enchanted side, who say that the Catalans see this summer as “the right moment” to make their move for the Brazilian international.
Barcelona are long -term admirers of Guimaraes, although a move is not yet the target of the club's sports department. However, this can change this summer, especially if Newcastle is unable to guarantee the qualification for the Champions League of next season, although they are not expected to let him go, even if that happens.
Arsenal and Manchester City are also interested in Guimaraes, although neither of them regards him as a leading target for the summer. If you take this into account, Barcelona can be placed well if they make a movement.
