Barcelona have confirmed an agreement with Ajax for the transfer of left-back Jofre Torrents. Before the official confirmation, Mundo Deportivo reported that the clubs had agreed the move and were finalising details for an official announcement. Torrents will join former teammate Marc-André ter Stegen in Amsterdam.
FC Barcelona confirmed the agreement on its official channels, thanking the La Masia product for his commitment, professionalism and dedication and wishing him well in the next stage of his career.

Ajax first explored a loan for Torrents at the end of last season. Barcelona considered the possibility attractive because the defender had already made his first-team debut but faced strong competition in his position, with a move to Míchel's Ajax viewed as a suitable next step in his development.
That initial plan changed, with the clubs instead agreeing a permanent transfer. Barcelona have nevertheless structured the deal to retain an interest in Torrents' future.

The Barcelona boss has named 24 players for the trip but has left out Pedri and Gavi, with both players working on specific training plans right now.

Here's the squad in full:
Goalkeepers: Joan García, Wojciech Szczęsny, Eder Aller

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick requested for six members of the current first-team setup in Catalunya's capital to train separately from the rest of his players on Tuesday.
That's according to Mundo Deportivo, who have provided an insight into the latest developments behind the scenes at the Ciutat Esportiva.
Barcelona are of course currently in the thick of pre-season preparations with a view to the fast-approaching 2026/27 campaign. Training drills and methods have therefore been ramped up a notch over recent days, as players inch towards full match fitness.
This step up gave rise to its first casualty on Monday, however, as Roony Bardghji was forced out of training with what was later revealed to be a torn ACL in his right knee.
In turn, it should not come as a major surprise to hear of cautionary measures since being taken by Hansi Flick and his staff. As per a report from MD, all of Marc Casadó, Héctor Fort, Jofre Torrents, Tommy Marqués, Toni Fernández, and Guille Fernández were put through their paces in training away from their teammates earlier today.

Barcelona have a number of talented La Masia starlets ready to break into the first team who are unlikely to get a chance due to the immense competition for places.
One such youngster who has been part of Hansi Flick's plans for two consecutive pre-seasons is Jofre Torrents.
The 19-year-old defender is competing with Alejandro Balde and Gerard Martin for a first-team spot and is unlikely to get much game time.
Barça are also pushing to sign Cancelo from Al Hilal, with the veteran Portuguese defender keen on securing a return to the club.
Thus, Torrents is unlikely to get much game time if he stays at Barça, and it was revealed that the club were finalising a loan deal with Ajax for the teenager.

Three members of the first-team ranks at La Liga champions Barcelona could find themselves donning the colours of Ajax for the duration of the 2026/27 campaign.
This comes amid the understanding that the Dutch outfit have earmarked yet another Blaugrana star as a potential summer signing.
Barca and Ajax are of course fresh off doing business on the transfer front, in a deal which took Marc-André ter Stegen from the former to the latter on a year-long loan.
Reports then swiftly followed that the parties are also in advanced negotiations over the terms of an agreement for young defender Jofre Torrents.
And if the latest word stemming from Spain is anything to go by, then Ajax's shopping spree in Catalunya's capital may not be finished there, either…

According to SPORT, FC Barcelona wrapped up their preseason training camp in England with an internal training match, providing Hansi Flick with encouraging news ahead of the team's return to Spain.
After the scheduled friendly against Preston North End was cancelled because the English club did not have enough first-team players available, Flick instead organised an in-house match at St. George's Park.
The game was played on Pitch 6, named after England legend Sir Bobby Charlton.
The session began shortly before midday and consisted of three 20-minute periods, and finished in a 1-1 draw.
The first team lined up with: Wojciech Szczesny, Xavi Espart, Andreas Christensen, Gerard Martin, Jofre Torrents, Marc Bernal, Marc Casado, Orian Goren, Karim Adeyemi, Ebrima Tunkara, and Alex Gonzalez.

Barcelona are set to make another signing as João Cancelo's permanent transfer from Al-Hilal will be completed in the coming days.
According to Diario SPORT, the deal is "imminent" as there has been a breakthrough in talks between Barça and the Saudi club this weekend and an agreement is expected to be reached for €10 million.
The Portuguese full-back was spotted training alone in Portugal this week instead of returning to the Al-Hilal squad after the World Cup, and reports from Saudi confirmed his absence was agreed with the club as his departure is finalized.
Cancelo's signing was considered a key piece of business for Barça this summer and a personal request from Hansi Flick, who thoroughly enjoyed working with Cancelo during his loan spell in the second half of last season.
Cancelo's arrival will trigger exits for younger full-backs, with Héctor Fort, Xavi Espart and Jofre Torrents all expected to leave on loan to get minutes elsewhere. Flick is planning next season's squad with Jules Kounde and Eric García at right-back and Cancelo sharing left-back duties with Alejandro Balde.

Barcelona took on Club Esportiu Europa in a friendly training match on Friday evening and came away with a 4-1 victory.
The two teams played behind closed doors, which means details are a little thin on the ground, but we do know Hansi Flick picked a very youthful team for the first half.
Here's a look at the team:
Barcelona starting XI: Wojciech Szczęsny; Hector Fort, Andreas Christensen, Gerard Martín, Jofre Torrents; Guille Fernández, Brian Fariñas; Roony Bardghji, Ibrahim Diarra, Hamza Abdelkarim and Shane Kluivert.
New signing Karim Adeyemi was present but didn't feature for Barcelona after only meeting up with his new team-mates for training for the first time today.

Barcelona left-back Jofre Torrents looks to be heading out of the club this summer on a season-long loan to gain some first-team experience.
According to Cadena SER, Ajax and Racing are two clubs hoping to land the 19-year-old for the 2026-26 campaign.
Torrents looked set to break into the first-team last season after featuring in pre-season but suffered a serious ankle injury in February that kept him sidelined for months.
Barca think the best move now is for the teenager to continue his development by playing regularly. Ajax is a potential destination, along with Racing and another unnamed Spanish club.
Torrents is expected to travel to England for Barcelona's upcoming training camp and pre-season friendlies but his exit could then be finalised when the team returns.

Barcelona are beginning to accelerate several important squad decisions as preparations for the new season gather pace, and one of the club’s brightest academy prospects could soon be at the centre of those plans.
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup now behind them, the Blaugrana have turned their full attention back to club football.
While much of the focus remains on first-team arrivals and departures, Barcelona are also ***** sing the development of some of La Masia’s most promising youngsters.
According to SPORT, left-back Jofre Torrents is among the players whose future is currently under review.
Although the teenager is highly regarded within the club, Barcelona are considering whether a loan move would provide the best platform for his continued development.

Stockport County have confirmed the signing of James Bailey after he permanently parted ways with Manchester United.
Earlier this month, United confirmed that Bailey had been released, alongside fellow academy starlets Sonny Aljofree and Malachi Sharpe.
Bailey joined United in 2021 from Burnley and went on to make his Under-18s debut at just 15.
That he made his Under-21s bow only four years later speaks volumes about his rapid development and the high regard in which he was held.
In 2025/26, Bailey made 13 appearances in the U18s Premier League. The teenager contributed one goal, which he netted in September against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Former Manchester United defender Sonny Aljofree is looking for a new club.
Aljofree joined Manchester United’s first team training in 2022 but spent most of his career out on loan.
The 21-year-old first joined Altrincham for two loan spells, first in 2023 and then in 2024.
He then enjoyed a successful loan spell at Accrington Stanley, where he played regularly. The centre-back played 27 matches and even scored three goals for the League Two side.
Aljofree then joined Notts County on loan last season but could not earn a regular place in the team, making just 11 appearances in total.
