Barcelona reserves reshape squad for 2026‑27 season
Goalkeeper Iker Rodríguez will remain with Barça Atlètic for the 2026‑27 campaign so he can gain regular playing time, while the first‑team hierarchy stays with Joan García as starter and Wojciech Szczęsny as backup.
Midfielder Quim Junyent, after ten years at La Masia and a UEFA Under‑19 MVP award, has left Barcelona to join Almería, issuing an emotional farewell that highlighted his gratitude for the academy.
Under Juliano Belletti, Barça Atlètic has begun pre‑season with five new signings – Javi Castro, Josué Caicedo, Juan Ybarra, Joni Hernández and Ignasi Quer – and promotions for at least seven Juvenil A players. The reserve side aims to return to the Primera Federación.
Centre‑midfielder Marc Casadó has returned to training with the first team, but the club maintains its demand for a €30 million fee, leaving his future unresolved as the summer market closes.
