Barcelona are interested in signing Kobbie Mainoo from Manchester United in the January transfer window, according to Fichajes. Gavi has suffered a long-term injury and will be on the sidelines for a number of months, with last season's La Liga winners now looking at a potential deal for Mainoo. Mainoo wanted to leave Man United on a loan deal in the summer of 2025, but the Red Devils stopped him from leaving.

All four players will be out of action until at least after the international break, meaning they will miss Sunday's game against Real Sociedad, the Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain next Wednesday and the trip to Sevilla on Oct. 5. On a more positive note, both Lamine Yamal and Alejandro Balde trained on Friday and could return from their respective injuries against Real Sociedad this weekend.

Barcelona's iconic Magic Fountain of Montjuïc has burst back into life after lying dry for three years, delighting surprised visitors who happened to be passing on Tuesday, September 23. The city landmark, famous for its dazzling water and light displays, was quietly switched on for a one-hour test run ahead of its official reopening. For those who stumbled across it, the moment felt like a gift: some rushed to take photos, others cheered,

Primavera Sound has done it again with a spectacular 2026 lineup led by The Cure, Gorillaz, Massive Attack, My Bloody Valentine, Doja Cat, The xx, Father John Misty, Slowdive, Kneecap, and more. Following the lead of Coachella, the Barcelona-based music festival has chosen to unveil its lineup earlier than usual this year. The fully-realized bill boasts 150 acts in total, with other highlights including Skrillex, PinkPantheress, Ethel Cain,

Primavera Sound is more than an event; it's a vibrant tapestry woven into the very fabric of Barcelona's identity. Since its inception in 2001, the festival has become synonymous with this charismatic city, creating a dynamic exchange where both the festival and Barcelona thrive together. Much like the iconic monuments of its streets, the festival moulds the city's cultural landscape, while Barcelona, in turn, enriches the experience of the festival-goers.

Barcelona's proposal to extend the tramway along Diagonal, connecting Verdaguer and Francesc Macià, is gaining momentum. First Deputy Mayor Laia Bonet confirmed that two essential proposals will be put to a vote to enable the extension: the construction of the new water collector and the redevelopment of Diagonal. Securing enough support from city council members remains a fundamental requirement before any works can proceed.

Barcelona's squad spending limit has dropped to €351 million ($411.8m) -- down €112m from last winter -- while Real Madrid's has increased to €761m, LaLiga said on Friday. The league's squad cost limits, which are made public after each transfer window, denote the maximum amount that each club is permitted to spend on first-team players, as well as coaching staff, reserve and youth teams.

The club had been granted permission to play their first three fixtures away from home to allow the completion of construction work. But even with a little extra time thanks to the international break that followed, the club haven't yet obtained documents that allow it to open. The Olympic Stadium, used as their substitute home ground for the past two seasons, is the venue for a Post Malone concert two days before the match ruling it out of use for Sunday.

"The doors opened and the first person I saw was Tino Asprilla," Gillespie said. "He was standing there waiting on me. It was quite surreal because he's somebody you don't expect to see in Bangor Golf Club. "It was a lovely surprise. I was just made up that someone would actually make that effort to fly in for an evening."

AN EXCAVATION in what could perhaps be considered Barcelona's most iconic street has unveiled a section of an old wall that surrounded the city in the 14th century. The breathtaking archaeological find was unearthed in the Santa Mònica sector of La Rambla, and experts estimate that the overall length of the wall to document along the street will reach nearly 100 metres. The work in the area has been underway since mid-July and is led by archaeologist Irene Cruz,

Barcelona forward Raphinha responded to being left on the bench after arriving late for an activation session by scoring a brace in Sunday's thumping 6-0 win over Valencia in LaLiga. Fermín López and Robert Lewandowski also scored two goals each as Barça made it 10 points from 12 in the league this season, while Marc Bernal made his return to action after 383 days sidelined with a torn ACL.

Such was the demand, there were over 110,000 users in an online queue as remaining seats for next week's hotly anticipated opening group match at St James' Park went on sale on Tuesday. But it has emerged that 45 tickets for the 18 September fixture had already been claimed by the High School of Dundee, which purchased them after being "approached by an approved provider".

A coach carrying approximately 60 passengers overturned near Santa Susanna, Barcelona, on Sunday, September 7resulting in 10 injuries, two of which were serious. Of the passengers, 53 were attended by emergency services, with the remainder unharmed or suffering only minor injuries.

Marcus Rashford may be earning a reported 12m while on loan at Barcelona for the 2025/26 season, but his furniture choices show he's keeping things surprisingly down-to-earth. Despite the salary that would allow him to deck out his new apartment with luxury Spanish design, Rashford was recently spotted making a very ordinary shopping trip to IKEA. The Manchester United loanee was seen wandering the aisles of the Swedish furniture giant in the city centre, slider-clad and carrying one of IKEA's trademark blue bags.

BARCELONA lifeguards have called off an extended 27-day strike on Thursday, August 28, after finally reaching an agreement with the Barcelona City Council. The lifeguards had been protesting in a strike organised by the CGT Union to secure a more beneficial labour agreement and to obtain more job stability. The nearly month-long strike reached an end after the lifeguards were able to reach an agreement with the Council that landed them improvements to their working conditions and action to meet their most important demands.
