Barcelona Transfer News Roundup: Veteran striker unlikely to receive new deal, Catalans eyeing Goncalo Inacio, and more - September 7, 2025

Barcelona have endured a slow start to the new season, and are currently fourth in the LaLiga table after three games. Hansi Flick's team, however, are unbeaten this season, with two wins and a draw to their name.

Meanwhile, a veteran striker is unlikely to receive a new deal at Camp Nou. Elsewhere, the Catalans are interested in Goncalo Inacio.

On that note, let's look at the major Barcelona transfer stories from September 7, 2025.

Robert Lewandowski unlikely to receive new deal

Barcelona are unlikely to hand Robert Lewandowski a new deal, according to SPORT. The Polish striker has been in indomitable form since arriving at Camp Nou from Bayern Munich in the summer of 2022.

Last season, Lewandowski registered 42 goals from 52 games, helping the Catalans secure a domestic treble. Although he turned 37 years old last month, the player was expected to continue holding his place in Hansi Flick's team.

However, things have changed since the start of the new campaign. The Pole missed the first game due to an injury and has now seen Ferran Torres take his place.

Both of Lewandowski's appearances this season have been from the bench. Flick has put his trust in Torres, who hasn't disappointed so far.

The situation has raised doubts about the veteran striker's continuity with the LaLiga champions. Lewandowski was also linked with an exit this summer, but opted to stay with Barcelona.

However, his contract expires at the end of this season, and it now appears that the Catalans no longer consider him a part of their future. As things stand, the Pole's time at Camp Nou could come to an end next summer.

Barcelona eyeing Goncalo Inacio

Barcelona have set their sights on Goncalo Inacio, according to Mundo Deportivo. Inigo Martinez's abrupt departure from Camp Nou has forced the Catalans into action.

The Spanish defender was a rock at the back for Hansi Flick last season. However, he opted to terminate his contract with the LaLiga champions last month to move to Al-Nassr as a free agent.

Barcelona are now scrambling to find a suitable replacement and reportedly have Inacio on their wish list. The Portuguese defender has caught the eye with Sporting and is highly rated in Europe.

Catalans' sporting director Deco has apparently contacted Inacio's agent to discuss the possibilities of a move in 2026. However, the transfer won't be a straightforward affair, given the interest in his signature.

The 24-year-old is under contract with the Portuguese club until 2027, so he is likely to cost a hefty fee as well. However, Barcelona could script a deal if they manage to return to LaLiga's 1:1 rule.

Ronald Araujo's future remains uncertain

Barcelona could consider Ronald Araujo's exit if his performances do not improve soon, according to Mundo Deportivo. The Uruguayan defender hasn't been in his element in recent times, and has been linked with an exit for a while.

Araujo had the opportunity to cement his place in the starting XI following Inigo Martinez's departure. However, he has failed to convince, and the Catalans are now losing patience. Unless the player manages to improve, he could be offloaded in the near future.
