FC Barcelona Ace Leaves Club On Three-Year Deal
An FC Barcelona star has agreed to leave the club on a three-year contract with a Spanish rival ... More according to SPORT, which cited anonymous sources. An FC Barcelona star has agreed to leave the club on a three-year contract with a Spanish rival as first reported by SPORT, which cited anonymous sources, but then confirmed by the club on Friday afternoon. As his fall from grace continues, Ansu Fati was expected to be the first big departure out of the club. The Lamine Yamal of his era who smashed a number of youngest goalscorer and appearance maker records at club and international level at the turn of the decade was handed Lionel Messi's number 10 shirt when the Argentine fled for Paris Saint-Germain, such were the great expectations made of him. With injuries complicating his trajectory, however, Fati was sent out on loan to Brighton in the Premier League in 2023/2024 where he failed to impress overall. Things weren't much better last term under Hansi Flick either. On his return to the club, Fati was unable to convince the German of his worth in a treble-winning season and is being strongly linked with a move to AS Monaco as Barca closes in on Nico Williams for their shared left wing position. Yet while that potential operation looks to have stalled, Barca has seen another La Masia-produced talent leave its ranks. As reported on by SPORT and later confirmed by the club, Aleix Garrido is on his way out of the exit door after 13 seasons in Blaugrana - the last two of which were with the reserves who he captained in 2024/2025. Garrido will join second division Eibar on a three-year deal, and does so as one of the most promising players of the reserve outfit known as Barca Atletic, which is now overseen by the scorer of the winning goal in the 2006 Champions League final Juliano Belletti. By opting for a transfer away from Catalonia, Garrido is yet another La Masia promise that didn't see a clear path to the first team. Simultaneously, however, there are examples such as that of Marc Casado's, which speak to the value of biding one's time and waiting for the opportunity to come.

Official: Barcelona confirm promising midfielder's departure
The departures from Barcelona's reserve team ranks continue as the club have now confirmed that promising midfielder Aleix Garrido has departed after 13 years in the academy. 'Aleix Garrido will not continue at FC Barcelona next season. The 21-year-old player and captain of Barça Atletic is ending a 13-season spell at the Club, from joining as a youth player to making his first-team debut,' the club statement read, Advertisement 'The Club wishes him the best of luck in the future, both personally and professionally.' Garrido, 21, joined the club back in 2012, at the Benjamin C level and rose through the ranks at La Masia, going on to become the Barça Atletic captain this season. The midfielder even made his first-team debut for the Blaugrana during the 2022/23 season under former manager Xavi Hernandez against Elche in La Liga – his only senior appearance. Having missed a good chunk of the season due to injury, Garrido did establish himself as a regular in the team after returning but could not stop Barça Atletic from getting relegated. Now, with his contract expiring on June 30, the 21-year-old has opted to move on from Barcelona and embark on a new journey, with Eibar understood to be his next club.

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick on Lamine Yamal – ‘It's not all enjoyment, you also have to work'
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick on Lamine Yamal – 'It's not all enjoyment, you also have to work' Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has given an interview to the club media channel, discussing the team and their progress through the season. He had particular words of praise for Raphinha and Pedri, as well as some advice for Lamine Yamal. The German coach explained that as early as the preseason, head fitness coach Julio Tous had remarked to him that 'with the things I am seeing, I think we will win La Liga.' It was prescient opinion from Tous, as Flick and his staff masterminded a domestic treble. Words of advice for Lamine Yamal Playing an instrumental role was teenage superstar Lamine Yamal. At the heart of their creativity, and with a season full of big performances, he is now spending some well-deserved holidays with Neymar Junior in Brazil. Flick had some advice for him though. Advertisement 'I often say it: he's a genius. And he's 17, we have to help him. So far, everything's fine. If he wants to play at the highest level for the next 15 years, he needs to train very well and prepare himself mentally. He's smart. It's not all about enjoyment; you also have to work,' Sport quote. Image via Diario Sport / X 'And players with his talent need to do that. He has good examples in the team, like Raphinha, who also has a lot of trust in him.' The examples: Pedri and Raphinha On Raphinha specifically, Flick noted that he was sorely lacking in confidence when he arrived at the club. The Brazilian has commented publicly that if it were not for Flick, he would likely have left Barcelona last summer. Advertisement 'I saw him play for the first time here and saw what kind of player he is. Very dynamic, making the final pass, assisting Lewandowski… I also saw that he needed confidence. He's Brazilian and therefore has quality, but he also brings heart, mentality, and attitude. He's always working defensively. He has a lot of potential.' Pedri was another of Barcelona's standouts this season. 'He's brilliant. When Pedri has the ball, it's fantastic to watch. It's fantastic to have him on the team. Plus, in the coming years he can be one of the team's leaders—he's only 22!' Challenges ahead for Hansi Flick For Flick, much of his challenge will be finding ways to maintain the same level from his side on the ball, and working out fresh challenges to pose for defences. Towards the end of the season he was also quite clear that there was room for improvement defensively. If he can maintain Lamine Yamal, Pedri and Raphinha at the same level though, that will go a long way to a successful campaign.
