Barcelona's Confirmed Deals: 7 Out, 5 In

Barcelona's Confirmed Deals: 7 Out, 5 In

With Barcelona having done some incredible transfer business in this window, here are all of the Catalan club's confirmed signings and departures ahead of the 2022/23 season so far.

Click through the gallery above to see all of the confirmed transfer business that has taken place at Barca in this window, according to Transfermarkt.

Despite the Blaugrana's well-documented financial troubles, president Joan Laporta has managed to bolster Xavi Hernandez's squad with some high-profile, expensive signings, seemingly by way of activating certain economic levers.

The LaLiga giants' first move of the window was to move for free agents Franck Kessie and Andreas Christensen, who left AC Milan and Chelsea, respectively, upon the expiration of their deals at their former clubs.

Barcelona had reportedly struck agreements with the international players long before their arrivals were made official earlier in the window, but matters dragged out a little more in their pursuit of Robert Lewandowski.

The Poland international appeared to be a priority target for head coach Xavi, who was said to have several phone calls with the then-Bayern Munich forward to convince him that a move to Spain would be beneficial for his career.

According to football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Lewandowski agreed personal terms with Barcelona four months before Bayern finally decided to accept a €45 million (R754 million) offer from the Catalan giants for his services.

Following his much-anticipated arrival, Laporta has added two more exciting signings to Xavi's roster, in the form of Brazil winger Raphinha and France centre-back Jules Kounde. The fee paid for Raphinha is believed to be €58 million (R972 million), while €50 million (R838 million) has been forked out for the ex-Sevilla defender.
