Barcelona works to retain Joaquin Delgado amid interest from Portugal

Barcelona is making efforts to keep striker Joaquin Delgado, who scored 20 goals while on loan at Oviedo during the 2025/26 season. Despite the club’s interest, Delgado has one year left on his Oviedo contract, with discussions ongoing regarding a potential €4 million buyout. Barcelona is evaluating other prospects for its youth team but remains committed to retaining Delgado as part of its future plans. His impressive performance has drawn interest from various clubs, including one from Portugal's top division, which complicates Barcelona's pursuit as the summer transfer window approaches.
