All the folders that Barça has to resolve this Tuesday before 11:59 PM

BarcelonaThe transfer market closes this Tuesday at 11:59 PM and Barça once again has several open folders to resolve in the coming hours. Below is a list of the needs that the blaugrana sporting director, Anderson Luís de Souza, Deco, and his team must cover before the end of the day.

Five signings, two to register

Barça has already debuted three of the five signings confirmed this summer in La Liga. Anthony Gordon, Karim Adeyemi, and Rodri Hernández already know what it's like to compete at Camp Nou. On the other hand, at this time, the last two arrivals with first-team contracts are still being finalized. On one hand, Gabriel Jesus was presented this Tuesday after signing a contract that will ultimately be for three consolidated seasons, until 2029, and not two plus one optional. And, on the other hand, Dominik Livaković hopes the club can register him in La Liga. The Brazilian forward has also not yet completed this procedure.

Gabriel Jesus, for his part, said in his first words that it is not an "offense" to be the plan B for Julián Álvarez (who will finally stay at Atlético de Madrid, at least until the next winter transfer window), and explained that he has "significantly reduced his salary" to be able to come to Barça. According to what this newspaper has learned, the Brazilian was earning 16 million euros gross per season, according to the contract he signed in 2022 when he joined Arsenal from Manchester City. In a gesture that should also be interpreted in the context of Barça finally offering him a three-season deal, the striker stated that not only he, but also the Catalan club, has made "a great effort for this signing to be possible".

The forward also made public that he learned about Barça's interest, a club he could have signed for 10 years ago when he landed in Europe with City's help, approximately a week ago, when Deco contacted him to explore the option of signing him. "If you had asked me a month ago, this possibility would have been very difficult. But at 29 years old and with everything that has happened in these last two years, having the possibility to play for Barça is only thanks to God. I am excited and I will always want to help. When I found out I could come here, I knew I wanted to play for Barça," explained Gabriel Jesus, happily.

Regarding the serious injury he suffered in January 2025, when he suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee that kept him out of action for 11 months, the Brazilian footballer said he is fully recovered. "My last two years have been complicated after the knee injury; I was out for almost a year. But I am physically very well, my knee is no problem. It's in the past. I recovered well. I played well at Arsenal after the injury. If I didn't play more, it was for other reasons. But physically I am very well, ready to give my all," he stated.

Gabriel Jesus will surely be the last signing, but it cannot be ruled out that Barça will make more arrival moves. The need for a reliable left-sided centre-back remains to be covered, a specialty that only Gerard Martín fulfills in the current Barcelona squad. This hypothetical signing depends exclusively on whether there is any unexpected departure during the day, such as that of Alejandro Balde, who has not played a single minute in the League matches for which he has been called up. The Catalan full-back currently has João Cancelo and Xavi Espart ahead of him, but he is reluctant to move. It is unlikely that there will be any moves in this regard.

Marc Casadó, sidelined and without a number

A contemporary of Balde, Marc Casadó heads the list of clear departures that Barça must finalize on this last day of the market. The midfielder from Vallès has known for weeks that Flick does not count on him. He had offers from Saudi Arabia, an unconfirmed interest from some Italian club, and in the last few hours he has been linked with teams from the Turkish league. The blaugrana club would like him to leave and bring in a good sum in the form of a transfer, which would especially happen if a Saudi proposal materialized, but the player is reluctant to leave Europe. According to Sport, what would entice him would be to continue in the Spanish league, at Deportivo de la Coruña.

Other operations pending official confirmation are the departures of Toni Fernández to Venice, his cousin Guille to Mallorca, and Álvaro Cortés to Belgian Antwerp. La Masia waters the first team of Barça with talent, but it has also become a very important source of income for the club.
