The 2021–22 season is the 122nd season in the existence of FC Barcelona and the club's 91st consecutive season in the top flight of Spanish football. In addition to the domestic league, FC Barcelona will participate in this season's editions of the Copa del Rey, the Supercopa de España, and the UEFA Champions League.

This is the first season since 2004–05 to not feature Lionel Messi.

Season overview

May

On 31 May, Barcelona announced the signing of Sergio Agüero from Manchester City F.C. on a free transfer.[1]

June

On 1 June, Barcelona announced the signing of Eric García from Manchester City on a free transfer.[2]

On 2 June, Barcelona announced the signing of Emerson from Real Betis. Barça had informed Betis that they would exercise their option to bring back Emerson after his two-year long loan spell with the Verdiblancos.[3]

On 19 June, Barcelona announced the signing of Memphis Depay from Olympique Lyonnais on a free transfer.[4]

On 27 June, OGC Nice activated their option to buy Jean-Clair Todibo permanently from his loan spell for €8.5 million plus €7 million in variables.[5]

On 29 June, Barcelona and Olympique de Marseille reached an agreement for the transfer of Konrad de la Fuente for €3 million. Barça will also receive a percentage of any future transfer fee.[6] Barça also terminated the contract of Matheus Fernandes.[7]

July

On 1 July, Lionel Messi's contract with Barcelona expired amidst negotiations to sign a new contract, effectively making Messi a free agent.[8]

On 4 July, Barcelona and Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. reached an agreement for the loan of Francisco Trincão for the rest of the season with an option to buy for €29 million.[9]

On 6 July, Barcelona and Leeds United reached an agreement for the transfer of Junior Firpo for a fee of €15 million.[10]

On 7 July, UD Almería triggered Sergio Akieme's buy option for €3.5 million, with Barcelona reserving a right to 10% of any future sale and a right to first refusal.[11]

On 9 July, Barcelona and SK Rapid Wien reached an agreement over the loan of Yusuf Demir, with Barça receiving an option to buy for €10 million.[12]

On 10 July, Barcelona and Getafe reached an agreement for the transfer of Carles Aleñá.[13]

On 17 July, Monchu joined Granada CF on a free deal following the expiration of his contract, with Barça reserving a right to 50% of any future sale, and a right to first refusal with a buyback option.[14]

August

Despite reaching an agreement with Messi and having to plan to sign a contract on 5 August, the club announced that Messi wouldn't stay at the club due to financial and structural obstacles posed by La Liga regulations.[15][16] He subsequently joined Paris Saint-Germain F.C. on 10 August.[17]

On 15 August, Barcelona defeated Real Sociedad 4–2 at home. Goals from Piqué, Sergi Roberto and a brace from Braithwaite ensured victory in their first La Liga match of the season.[18]
