May

At the end of the 2013–14 FC Barcelona season, goalkeepers José Manuel Pinto and Víctor Valdés expired contracts were not renewed. Barcelona quickly signed Marc-André ter Stegen from Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach, and Claudio Bravo from fellow La Liga outfit Real Sociedad.[1][2] On 15 May, long time captain Carles Puyol announced his retirement from football after a 15-year career on the first team.[3] Puyol was subsequently named Assistant to Sports Management under Director of football Andoni Zubizarreta.[4] On 19 May, Luis Enrique was named the new manager after it was announced that Gerardo Martino would step down at the end of the season. Enrique returns to Barça after being the B Team manager from 2008 to 2011.[5]

June

On 12 June, Barcelona and Premier League club Chelsea reached an agreement for the transfer of midfielder Cesc Fàbregas for a reported fee of 33 million euros. With the move, Fàbregas returns to London where he started his first team career as an Arsenal player.[6] On 16 June, Barcelona signed Croatian midfielder Ivan Rakitić from Sevilla for 18 million euros along with the loan of Barcelona B midfielder Denis Suárez.[7] Rakitić joins after leading Sevilla to the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League title, where he was named man of the match in the final.

On 10 July, Barcelona announced it had rescinded the contract of forward Isaac Cuenca.[9] Cuenca makes the move to Deportivo La Coruña, where he signed for one season to join the Galician club.[10] Later on the day, Barcelona completed the transfer of Alexis Sánchez to Arsenal for 42 million euros.[11] Sánchez leaves after three years with the club in where he played 141 matches and scoring 47 goals, including a season personal best of 21 goals during the 2014–15 season. On 11 July, Barcelona and English club Liverpool announced the transfer of Uruguayan international forward Luis Suárez for a reported fee of 81 million euros.[12] The reigning European Golden Shoe winner joins after spending 4 seasons with the Merseyside club in which he scored a total of 82 goals in 133 appearances.
