Barcelona Players Near Moves, Lewandowski Returns Training

FC Barcelona is undergoing several player changes as the summer transfer window nears its end, with Oriol Romeu set to leave as a free agent and goalkeeper Inaki Pena close to a loan move to Serie A side Como 1907 after renewing his contract to ease financial fair play constraints. Robert Lewandowski, sidelined since the preseason due to a thigh strain, is nearing a return and is expected to be included in the squad for the upcoming match against Levante, although a starting position is uncertain. Meanwhile, Frenkie de Jong missed training with the club’s permission to be with his partner for the birth of their second child. The club continues to integrate young talents such as Jofre Torrents and the Fernandez brothers into the first-team setup under manager Hansi Flick. These developments indicate Barcelona's strategic squad management balancing fresh talent, financial considerations, and the recovery of key players to maintain competitive performance.
