With the full fixture list for the 2019/2020 La Liga season having been released, Spanish clubs can now start planning ahead for their assault on next season.
The club leading the way as the standard bearers is undoubtedly Barcelona, as the Catalans are two-time defending champions and would have 19 clubs looking to usurp them, with Real Madrid and Atletico's inroads in the ongoing transfer window showing that they mean business.
However, Barcelona would do all in their power to maintain their domestic supremacy while attempting to regain the Champions League and with under two months left to go in the 2019 summer transfer window, the Blaugrana still have some time to complete a few deals.
In this piece, we shall be aggregating the latest transfer news and rumours surrounding Barcelona.
Barcelona join race for Juventus right-back Joao Cancelo
According to reports by Italian media giants Calciomercarto, Barcelona have reportedly entered the fray to sign Juventus' highly rated right-back Joao Cancelo.
The 25-year-old recently played a starring role as his nation won the maiden edition of the UEFA Nations League and his displays with Juventus last season have seemingly caught the eye with several top European clubs said to be interested in his signature.
With Atletico Madrid keen on getting Nelson Semedo over to the Wanda Metropolitano, the right-back position is one which Barcelona would have to fill urgently.
Cancelo would however not come cheap as he is valued at €60m by the Bianconerri while Barcelona would have to battle it out with the likes of Manchester City and Bayern Munich for his services.
Barcelona would not sell Coutinho - agent
Having failed to settle in at Barcelona 18 months after his club record arrival, indications were rife that Philippe Coutinho could be on his way out of the club, with clubs like Liverpool, Manchester United and PSG all said to be interested.
However, in the newest twist to his Barcelona story, his agent Kia Joorabchian has come out to say that the Brazilian is not going anywhere.
Addressing speculations over his client's future, Joorabchian stated to RMZ Sport: "I talked a few days ago with Pep Segura at Barcelona,".
"He told me that the club does not want to sell Coutinho this summer, no matter what. And then, we have not had any contact with PSG."
The 26-year-old is currently starring for Brazil in the Copa America where he put his poor club form behind and is at the forefront of Brazil's quest for a first continental triumph in 12 years.
PSG sets Neymar transfer price, but Barcelona unwilling to pay it
Having stated his desire for a return back to Barcelona, Neymar set the footballing world alight with transfer speculations and figures going into overdrive.
Despite their initial stance of not selling their prized asset, PSG seem to have relented and have reportedly set a price of €225m in order to sell the Brazilian international.
Barcelona are however said to be unwilling to meet that figure as they also have other impending high-cost transfer targets on their transfer agenda including Antoine Griezmann.
Barcelona offered Arsenal the chance to sign Malcom, but the club prefer Zaha instead
After failing to prove his worth to the Barcelona hierarchy in his debut season, Malcom seems set to depart the club as the Catalans seek to free up space and funds for other priority signings.
The 22-year-old had arrived in acrimonious circumstances from Bordeaux and was expected to provide competition for Ousmane Dembele on the left flank of Barcelona's attack but that did not happen.
Reports have emanated that Barcelona offered Arsenal the chance to sign the winger but were rebuffed in their attempts as the Gunners maintain Crystal Palace forward Wilfred Zaha as their priority signing ahead of next season.
PSG set to leapfrog Barcelona in chase for Dortmund left-back Raphael Guerreiro
Barcelona have a serious conundrum at left-back as Spanish international Jordi Alba is their only recognized specialist in the position.
While the 30-year-old is a world-class performer in his own right, he has his shortcomings and the gruelling nature of the campaign ahead means that Valverde would need fresh legs in all positions in a bid to maintain freshness.
This has stemmed their interest in Portuguese left-back Raphael Guerreiro, as the 25-year-old has distinguished himself as one of the fastest rising left-backs in Europe.
The Euro 2016 winner has impressed with Dortmund in the Bundesliga and would provide able competition for Jordi Alba while his versatility also means he can be deployed further up the field if need be.
New reports, however, suggest that PSG are interested in rivalling Barcelona for his signature, as the French champions' manager Thomas Tuchel had earlier coached Guerreiro at Dortmund and is keen to bring him over to the Parc des Princes.
