Barcelona Club announced the departure of one of the first-team football players on loan, during preparations to develop and restructure the team ahead of the new 2026/2027 season.
Barcelona is preparing to continue its brilliance in local competitions, topped by the Spanish League, as it is the champion of the last two editions.
The Spanish Football League season is scheduled to kick off later in August, with Barcelona and Real Madrid beginning their campaign from the second matchday due to several of their players reaching the semi-final and final stages of the World Cup.

Barcelona Club revealed the departure of German goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen on loan to Dutch club Ajax on a one-season contract until June 30, 2027.
The official Barcelona Club website stated that this loan is the second for German goalkeeper Stegen, following his first in January to Girona Club.
Stegen played only two matches for Girona due to the injury he sustained, yet that did not prevent his move to one of Europe's elite clubs, as Ajax is a four-time UEFA Champions League winner.
Stegen featured in 423 matches for Barcelona, ranking 11th among the club's all-time most-capped players and second among foreign players.
