Mansion Sport - Despite already making several moves in the current summer transfer window, FC Barcelona has not ruled out the possibility of adding one more player to their squad. 

The club is reportedly exploring the opportunity to secure a financially prudent signing in the coming weeks—one that aligns with both their budgetary constraints and competitive ambitions.

Under the guidance of newly appointed head coach Hansi Flick, Barcelona's transfer activity has so far remained relatively measured. 

Notable acquisitions include the arrival of Joan Garcia from Espanyol, the loan signing of Marcus Rashford from Manchester United for the 2025/26 season, and the purchase of Roony Bardghji from FC Copenhagen.

Selective Transfer Strategy Under Hansi Flick

While Hansi Flick faces pressure to streamline the squad for the sake of efficiency, he remains open to adding new talent—provided there are corresponding player departures to balance the roster. 

Midfielder Oriol Romeu is reportedly on the verge of leaving the club on a free transfer, while Pau Victor has officially joined Portuguese side Sporting Braga.

This effort to trim the squad reflects Flick’s strategic approach to assembling a cohesive and competitive team, one capable of defending their La Liga title in the upcoming season.

Nonetheless, the possibility of a surprise signing remains very much alive, especially amid rising speculation surrounding the future of one high-profile Arsenal player.

Barcelona Keeping a Close Eye on Gabriel Jesus

In recent developments, Barcelona has emerged as one of the clubs considering a move for Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus. 

The Brazilian forward is currently facing an uncertain future at the Emirates Stadium following a season disrupted by recurring injuries. 

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is reportedly open to the idea of letting the player leave on a loan deal.

Reports from Brazil suggest that Flamengo is interested in bringing Jesus back to South America. However, the 27-year-old is said to favor staying in Europe, with a particular emphasis on continuing to compete in the UEFA Champions League.

Intense Competition from English and Italian Clubs

Barcelona is not alone in their interest in Gabriel Jesus. Premier League sides Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United have also expressed strong interest in acquiring the forward.

Newcastle, in particular, is actively seeking reinforcements up front following unsuccessful attempts to sign Bryan Mbeumo and the looming possibility of losing Alexander Isak from their ranks.

Interest from Serie A is also intensifying, with AC Milan and Juventus closely monitoring the situation. Both Italian clubs are reportedly exploring the viability of a loan deal, should Arsenal be open to such an arrangement.

Loan Deal Seen as Optimal Path for Barcelona

Barcelona is prepared to pursue Gabriel Jesus strictly under a loan agreement, mirroring the arrangement used to acquire Marcus Rashford from Manchester United. 

However, the Catalan club intends to propose stricter conditions to Arsenal, especially regarding wage contributions during the 2025/26 season.

This approach highlights Barcelona’s more cautious financial strategy as they seek to reinforce the squad with top-tier talent while maintaining fiscal responsibility. 

It also underscores their commitment to assembling a team capable of achieving success both in domestic competitions and on the European stage.
