Overview
- Barcelona issued a statement on Thursday confirming Víctor Barberá, Òscar Ureña, Emilio Bernad, Joaquín Delgado and Ander Astralaga will leave Barça Atlètic when their contracts expire on June 30.
- The club thanked each player for their professionalism and wished them well as they seek new clubs after finishing the 2025‑26 season.
- Media reports say Víctor Barberá is expected to join Real Valladolid, Joaquín Delgado will return to Real Oviedo after his loan, and Emilio Bernad is likely to continue his career abroad, though those moves are reported rather than officially confirmed.
- The departures include two goalkeepers, with Ander Astralaga ending an eight‑year association after a loan at Granada and Emilio Bernad leaving after one season with the reserves.
- The changes reflect a broader effort to refresh Barcelona’s development pathway, with Juliano Belletti expected to shape a different Barça Atlètic for 2026‑27 that features Hamza Abdelkarim and Óscar Gistau as key attacking options.
