The 2014–15 season is Futbol Club Barcelona's 115th in existence and the club's 84th consecutive season in the top flight of Spanish football.

Season overview

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 for the next two seasons.^[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.

July

On 9 July, Barcelona announced the transfer of Jonathan dos Santos to Villarreal for a fee of 2 million euros. Unfortunately, most of his last season with the club was spent recovering from an ACL tear which he suffered in training on 23 October 2013.^[8] Jonathan reunites with his older brother Giovani, who is also an ex-Barcelona player. On 10 July, Barcelona announced it had rescinded the contract of forward Isaac Cuenca.^[9] Cuenca makes the move to Deportivo La Coruña, where he signed for one season to join the Galician club.^[10] Later on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 scored 47 goals, including a season personal best of 21 goals during the 2013–14 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. Barcelona will be without Suárez's services after the FIFA Disciplinary Committee banned the player for 4 months of any football-related activity after he was found guilty of biting Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini during Uruguay's final World Cup group stage match. The suspension means Suárez is unable to play for Barcelona until 26 October.^[13] Later on the day, goalkeeper Oier Olazábal moved to Granada on a free transfer to the Andalusian club. The transfer includes that "Barcelona reserves the economic rights to any future transfer of the player."^[14] On 16 July, Barcelona announced that Spanish winger Cristian Tello would be moving on a 2 year loan deal to Portuguese club Porto for a loan fee of 2 million euros. The deal includes a purchase option for Porto of 8 million euros.^[15] Barcelona also informed that left back Adriano would be out 4 to 6 weeks with an abnormal heart rhythm discovered during his return medical.^[16] On 19 July, Barcelona played their first friendly of the preseason against Recreativo Huelva at the Nuevo Colombino in Huelva. The match ended 0–1 with the only goal coming from Barcelona B winger Joan Román in the 66th minute that gave Barça the Trofeo Colombino for the first time.^[17] On 22 July, Barcelona parted ways with La Masia graduate and youth system all time leading scorer Bojan Krkić. Bojan moved to English club Stoke City where he joins fellow La Masia graduate Marc Muniesa and ex-Barça striker and current manager Mark Hughes.^[18] On 23 July, Barcelona announced the transfer of French international central defender Jérémy Mathieu from Valencia for a transfer fee of 20 million euros. Mathieu signed a contract for four seasons, with an optional season, and a buyout fee of 50 million euros. With the move, Mathieu becomes the most expensive defender over 30 years old to be transferred.^[19]

August

On 9 August, Barcelona announced the signing of Belgium international defender Thomas Vermaelen from Arsenal for a fee of 19 million euros.^[20] The next day, Barcelona also announced that Ibrahim Afellay would be headed to Olympiacos in the Superleague Greece for a season loan.^[21] On 14 August, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) confirmed the ban imposed by FIFA against Suárez, who remains suspended from football for four months, as well as a nine international match ban. However, the CAS removed the player's "football-related activities" ban, and was allowed to train with Barcelona.^[22] Barcelona also announced it had reached an agreement with Sevilla for the loan of forward Gerard Deulofeu for the 2014–15 season.^[23] On 19 August, the FIFA Appeal Committee upheld its transfer ban on Barcelona in regards to "breaches relating to the international transfer and registration of players under the age of 18."^[24] Barcelona will be unable to transfer players during both the 2015 winter and summer transfer windows.^[25] Barcelona released a statement stating "that it shall continue defending its interests before the highest sporting authority, in this case the CAS."^[26] On 24 August, Barcelona started it season campaign with a 3-0 victory over Elche at the Camp Nou. A brace by Lionel Messi and a third by youth player Munir El Haddadi sealed the win for the Blaugrana.^[27]
