WHY AXEL DISASI TO BARCELONA JUST BECAME IMPOSSIBLE. THE FINANCIAL TRUTH REVEALED HERE.
Barcelona's move for Axel Disasi stalls due to FFP, while Real Madrid pivots to Schlotterbeck and Jacquet for defensive cover.
Barca's Disasi Deal in Doubt
Barcelona's money troubles might stop them from signing Chelsea defender Axel Disasi.
Apparently, Disasi was offered to Barca because they need someone to cover for the injured Andreas Christensen.
Word is that Bournemouth’s Marcos Senesi is another choice to help out Barca's defence. Disasi's salary could be too much, even for a short loan.
A Spanish paper mentions that even though Disasi is a good player, it might be tough for Barca to make the move work.
Disasi could have been an option to rebuild Barca's central defence after Andreas Christensen partially tore a knee ligament. He'll be out for months.
Other options have been looked at, like Marcos Senesi from Bournemouth. Now, Axel Disasi is on the list, but his high salary could be a problem.
Barca is still waiting for La Liga to approve their Financial Fair Play situation, so they probably can't afford Disasi, even on loan, because of his salary.
Real Madrid's Defender List
Real Madrid is reportedly moving on from some defensive targets they were linked to.
Dayot Upamecano from Bayern Munich and Ibrahima Konate from Liverpool will be available in the summer, but they probably won't join Xabi Alonso’s team.
Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi is also in the last six months of his contract, but Real isn't a favourite to sign him.
Instead, a Spanish source says that Jeremy Jacquet (Rennes, 20) and Nico Schlotterbeck (Borussia Dortmund) are now their top choices.
Since both players are under contract, it won't be easy to get them to Madrid.
Real is also watching Jacobo Ramon (20 years old), who is playing well with Como and could return to the club for €8 million.
Bitshiabu Staying at Leipzig
Reports said that RB Leipzig defender El Chadaille Bitshiabu might leave the club.
Some Premier League teams were supposedly interested in the 20-year-old, but he's only played five times for Leipzig this season. Now, it doesn't look like he'll be leaving.
A German paper says that the club's sporting director, Marcel Schafer, doesn't want to sell him because the team isn't deep enough.
The paper says that there won't be any players leaving during the January transfer window.
Leipzig's management has decided not to allow any transfers.
Ceballos Could Return to Betis
Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos isn't getting much playing time under manager Xabi Alonso, so he's thinking about his future.
He spent time on loan at Arsenal but came back to Madrid, where he's struggling to get into the starting lineup.
His contract runs for another year and a half, and he might go back to his old team, Real Betis, according to AS.
The Spanish source says that Dani Ceballos went back to his hometown to spend time with family and think about his future.
He's under contract until 2027, but he's in a tough spot. He hasn't played in the last five league games.
His last league appearance was almost a month ago.
He needs playing time, but players like Guler, Camavinga, and Valverde are ahead of him, especially when Valverde plays in midfield. Plus, Tchouameni is almost always in the lineup.
Bellingham is also a key player, and there have been rumours about Ceballos returning to Betis. All of this makes it hard for him.
THE LA MASIA RETURN: WHY HANSI FLICK IS DESPERATE FOR MIKA MARMOL
Barcelona targets Mika Marmol for a 2026 return. Explore how the 24-year-old Las Palmas star fits Hansi Flick’s tactical plan.
So, Fichajes said Barcelona really wants Mika Marmol, who plays defence for Las Palmas, back on their team. Word is, they're looking to get the Spanish player back to Camp Nou next year.
Marmol's Been Playing Great
This 24-year-old has been doing pretty well this season. He's played great for the Spanish club, especially near the opponent's goal. So far, he's scored two goals and helped score one in the 14 games he's played for Las Palmas in all sorts of competitions.
He's shown he's one of the best defenders in the second division of Spanish soccer this season. Therefore, it makes sense that Barcelona hopes to get him back next year.
His contract with the Spanish team ends this season. This means Barcelona could get him for cheap this January or for free next summer.
Should Barcelona's Coach, Hansi Flick, Bring Marmol Back?
Marmol's good at tackling and getting the ball back for his team in his own half. He can really kick the ball hard when he needs to, and he's great at moving the ball out from the back.
Though we'll see if he can keep playing this well in the top league. He mainly plays as a centre-back, but he can also play left-back if needed. Since he used to play for Barcelona's youth team, La Masia, he already knows the club well and should fit in without any problems.
Marmol would definitely make Barcelona's defence better, and he's good enough to fight for a starting spot.
Since he's only 24, Marmol still has his best years ahead of him. That makes him a good choice for Barcelona to think about in 2026. He'd also help them compete in every competition in the coming years. So, Flick should think about bringing him back to Camp Nou soon.
TACTICAL EVOLUTION: HOW RAPHINHA AND YAMAL ARE REDEFINING BARCELONA’S MODERN ATTACKING IDENTITY
With Lamine Yamal hitting 21 goal contributions in 2025, Barcelona looks unstoppable. Get the latest mid-season player ratings.
Barcelona is having a blast this 2025-26 season! They're heading into the winter break as the top dogs in Spain, looking good to win the La Liga trophy again.
Of course, it hasn't all been sunshine and roses; they've hit a few rough patches.
But Hansi Flick's got some top-notch players who've helped get Barca back to the summit. So, let's check out which stars have been on fire this season so far…
Pedri
Barcelona’s Pedri has been amazing this season. The guy just makes the game seem easy, and Barca's a different team when he's playing.
His numbers tell the whole story…
Because of his play, everyone's been singing his praises. Luis Enrique said Pedri is like Harry Potter before the Barcelona-PSG game in the Champions League, and Paul Scholes said he thinks Pedri is the best.
Flick's been calling Pedri fantastic, incredible, and top class, and he might be running out of words to describe how good their midfield star is.
Pedri missed the last game of 2025 because of a small injury, but he should be ready for Barca's next match. For sure, if Barca wants to win trophies this season, they need Pedri on the field.
Raphinha
Barcelona’s had to manage without Raphinha for parts of this season, but it’s not been a surprise that their results get better when the Brazilian plays.
With Gavi still injured, Raphinha seems to have stepped up as the heart and soul of Barcelona. His seven goals and three assists in just 11 La Liga games just show again how important he is to the team.
It's still weird that Raphinha didn't win the Ballon d'Or and FIFA The Best awards, even though Barca fans already know how good he is.
After Raphinha didn't win, Flick said it was a joke. Also, after the win against Alaves, the way Flick talked with Raphinha showed how good the vibe is between the player and the coach at Camp Nou.
Eric Garcia
No one thought Eric Garcia would be on this list to start the season, but he's been super important in the first half of the year.
We knew Hansi Flick liked him a lot at Barcelona, and he's proved that he deserves it with some great games in different positions this season.
Garcia played well at right-back, centre-back, and in midfield and is still playing well, even with a broken nose.
He's the only player to play in every Barcelona game this season, and he's already been rewarded with a new contract.
Flick said that he could be captain one day, this flexible star, but Garcia played down that talk in his usual humble way.
This is very different from not that long ago, when he seemed like he might leave. Now, he seems to be one of the first players on the team sheet.
Lamine Yamal
Lamine Yamal is another player who's had some injuries this season, but he's still been very important to Barcelona.
He's still only 18, and he's ended the year with 21 goal contributions in all competitions in 2025-26. If you look at the stats, that's one every 83 minutes—that's a great rate.
Yamal's still been a star, even though his personal life's been making headlines, and the relationship between Barcelona and Spain has gotten heated because of how the national team's been using him.
It's easy to forget that Yamal's only 18, still has braces, and is just starting his career.
After a year where he was second in the Ballon d'Or, who knows what 2026 will bring?
Joan Garcia
Joan Garcia didn't have the easiest start to his Barcelona time. Also, moving from Espanyol to Barca was always a controversial move, and pushing Barcelona keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen out of the club has made people talk.
But Garcia has had no problems fitting in at his new club and has just let his play do the talking so far.
A knee injury stopped him for a bit, but he's back now and seems like he never left.
Barca signed Garcia because he was a good deal they couldn't pass up. So far, it looks like it was a very good buy.
