Barcelona's Signings Convince Hans Flick
German coach Hans Flick expressed his satisfaction with the performance of Barcelona's signings during the current 2025/2026 season, after the club succeeded in strengthening its ranks with specific and effective names despite economic constraints, according to the Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo".
The newspaper pointed out that the club's difficult financial situation, along with the high cost of the Spotify Camp Nou renovation project, forced the management to adopt a careful transfer policy, during which Flick was content with maintaining the core squad, adding only three players: goalkeeper Juan Garcia, striker Marcus Rashford, and winger Roni Bardgy.
According to the newspaper, Juan Garcia is considered the most prominent signing so far, as the former Espanyol goalkeeper took on the responsibility of guarding Barcelona's goal following Marc-André ter Stegen, and he delivered strong performances characterized by calmness and maturity. Despite his absence for a period due to injury, he returned strongly and was one of the standout stars in the match against Villarreal, supported by impressive statistics in save percentage and interventions outside the penalty area.
On the offensive side, the newspaper explained that Marcus Rashford's loan from Manchester United, with a purchase option of 30 million euros, came as a successful solution within the financial fair play margin. The English international contributed effectively both as a starter and substitute, scoring 7 goals and providing 11 assists in 23 matches across all competitions, with notable brilliance in the Champions League.
As for the third signing, Roni Bardgy, the newspaper described it as a low-cost future investment with a clear artistic yield. The Swedish winger, who came from Copenhagen, participated in 13 matches and delivered a positive performance despite his secondary role, scoring one goal and assisting another in two starts, which earned him the confidence of the coaching staff.
The report confirmed that Barcelona succeeded in the transfer market effectively without heavy spending, with different signings in various roles but sharing one clear factor: providing the required addition on the pitch.
