When asked whether Barcelona were working on any other signings after the arrival of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcablaugranes.com\/fc-barcelona-transfer-rumors-news\/131161\/sign-gabriel-jesus-arsenal-10m-transfer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal FC<\/a>, the former Portugal midfielder was brief: \u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Rumors had linked Barcelona with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcablaugranes.com\/cant-del-blog-barcelona-opinion\/131165\/transfer-deadline-day-do-barcelona-still-need-a-center-back\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">signing a new defender<\/a>, plus there was the extended search for Juli\u00e1n Alvarez or another striker. Those topics will not be addressed, it seems, in the coming hours until the transfer window shuts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Among the rumored targets for signing a defender included: Alessandro Bastoni, Gon\u00e7alo In\u00e1cio, Aymeric Laporte, Castello Lukeba, and Ruud Nijstad,<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Apart from Jesus, Barcelona signed Anthony Gordon, Karim Adeyemi, Jesse Bisiwu, Rodri, Jo\u00e3o Cancelo and Dominik Livakovi\u0107 this window. Several players returned from loan, but they departed quickly as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Notable exits included Robert Lewandowski, Marcus Rashford (end of loan), Marc-Andr\u00e9 ter Stegen, Ronald Araujo, and Ferran Torres. Interestingly, Cancelo both left and came back in the same window as his loan expired and he was with Al-Hilal for a time before Bar\u00e7a snapped him up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Loan players who were given permanent exits included I\u00f1aki Pe\u00f1a and Ansu Fati. And players such as H\u00e9ctor Fort and Jofre Torrents were sold with buyback clauses, allowing Barcelona the opportunity to bring them back if they want.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FC Barcelona\u2019s sporting director, Deco, has publicly revealed the Catalans will have no last-minute signings.
