Official: Barcelona squad list for the US pre-season tour; de Jong included

fc barcelona us tour roster

Barcelona are set to jet off to the United States for their pre-season tour this afternoon. The long excursion will include friendlies against the likes of Real Madrid, Juventus and MLS outfit Inter Miami.

Ahead of their flight to Florida, Barcelona have announced the squad list for the US tour, which includes the four new signings in Raphinha, Pablo Torre, Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessie.

Ousmane Dembele has been included in the squad as well after penning a contract extension. But the most notable inclusion is Frenkie de Jong, who has been selected despite ongoing speculation over a potential move to Manchester United.

There is no doubt Barça themselves are keen on offloading de Jong, whose sale could go a long way in helping the club balance the books and register the new signings.

Barcelona had even considered excluding de Jong from the pre-season tour to the US in an attempt to put pressure on the midfielder. But it appears the Dutchman will continue becoming a part of the setup, in what could be a major blow for Manchester United.

Meanwhile, Barcelona have left out five notable players from the trip to the United States. The list includes Martin Braithwaite, Oscar Mingueza and Neto. Samuel Umtiti and Riqui Puig have been left out as well.

Fabrizio Romano suggests each of these five players have been instructed to find new clubs and leave Camp Nou as soon as possible. Barcelona believe their departures could help the club register new signings such as Raphinha.

However, not all of them have appeared keen on leaving Camp Nou as they are sitting on lucrative contracts and as we head closer to the start of the new season, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for these outcasts.

Barcelona's 2022 US tour features stops in Florida and New Jersey

kyle fansler

by Kyle Fansler June 10, 2022

fc barcelona us tour roster

After being unable to travel to the United States due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Barcelona’s US tour starts anew this summer.

In mid- to late-July, the 26-time LaLiga champion makes its fifth trip to the U.S. in the last eight years. The American market is one of Barcelona’s targets for its international brand growth. With trips in 2011, 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019, the Catalans are committed to the United States.

In those trips, Barcelona played against a number of famous opponents in front of massive crowds. In 2017, Barcelona played Real Madrid in the first  El Clásico  not on Spanish soil . Other matches included Napoli, Manchester United and Juventus.

This summer, Barcelona travels to the United States to play a pair of MLS teams. However, it is not necessarily the first time. On July 19, DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale hosts Barcelona’s battle against Inter Miami. David Beckham and Phil Neville have a history of facing Barcelona. Neville and Beckham were both part of the squads that saw a combined 12 goals over two group stage games between United and Barcelona in the 1998/99 Champions League.

FC Barcelona heading to United States this summer

Inter Miami only formed in 2018, making this the first game between the two. Eleven days later, Barcelona’s 2022 US tour rolls into New York. For the third time, Barcelona takes on New York Red Bulls. It has been a while. The two clubs faced off during Barcelona’s US tours in 2006 and 2008 at Metlife Stadium. Current Barcelona manager Xavi featured in both of those games, which Barcelona won 4-1 and 6-2.

Potential third fixture

Something to note about Barcelona’s announcement is that the club mentioned its number of games. During each of the previous visits stateside, Barcelona played three games. The club only announced two games in this tour.

So, that leaves the potential for a third game. Early reports are another El Clásico against Real Madrid. This time, if reports are true, the two Spanish giants are set to meet at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. This stadium hosted a number of soccer games last summer, particularly regarding the success of the United States Men’s National Team. This would be the second El Clásico in the United States, and just the third outside of Spain. The two sides met in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the Supercopa de España semifinals.

No date has been released yet. However, it would certainly be the biggest game for Barcelona’s 2022 US tour. Plus, it would likely be the biggest offseason game in the world of soccer throughout the summer.

Players to feature in Barcelona’s 2022 US tour

In the past, fans got to look forward to Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez. Granted, all those players are gone.

However, the club has a number of young and promising players that are on the track to being world-beaters.

Barcelona tour dates

Pedri, for example, is already an elite midfielder at the age of 19. His play in the midfield allowed Barcelona to battle back from early season struggles in the past campaign to finish second in the league.

Ansu Fati has the burden on his shoulders to be the next Lionel Messi. An injury-laden start to his young career caused Barcelona fans to wait a little longer for his breakthrough. However, when Fati does play, he shows how special his talent is.

Both of these players suffered injuries throughout 2021/22. Therefore Barcelona’s 2022 US tour is a good chance for game action ahead of the club’s return to the Champions League in the coming season.

These are the major names, but other talents could be poised for a strong 2022/23, which starts here in the United States with the preseason.

Special offer for World Soccer Talk visitors

Gavi and Alejandro Balde are two more teenagers with first-team experience already.

Then, of course, there are the more established players that draw in the headlines. Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba are mainstays in the Barcelona starting XI, as they have for years. Then, there are the question marks. Frenkie De Jong, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ousmane Dembele all may not be at the Nou Camp next season. Neymar famously played his last game for Barcelona in the United States against Real Madrid. This is a real possibility for Barcelona’s potential departures.

"Tito was an absolutely normal person, a quality that is rare in football nowadays"

April 25, 2014 was a tragic day for Barcelona and for the entire football world: a malignant tumor put an end, at the age of 45, to the life of Tito Vilanova , coach of the first team a few months earlier. Today he will be remembered on the front pages as the coach of the 100-point league, but those who shared his life with him are aware of the influence he has had on their lives beyond the numbers and popularity he never sought. Jordi Roura , Tito's friend and assistant coach during his time on the bench and a member of the FC Barcelona Players' Association, explains their strong friendship.

It all started with "Els Golafres" ("The Gluttons"): young players from La Masia who met to eat Catalan products imported from their villages while talking about soccer. That's how Tito Vilanova, from Bellcaire d'Empordà, and Jordi Roura, originally from Llagostera, met: "We were all crazy about soccer. He watched a lot of matches, he liked to watch them... He was very studious" . He was known as "El Marqués" "because he was a perfectionist and always liked to dress neatly" - says Roura with a smile.

Tito a la Masia

"Els Golafres" leading the first team.

"Close, affable, direct and authentic. When he said something, he did it" . This is how Tito earned the respect and affection of everyone. Also in the 2012-2013 season, when he took over as first team coach. Roura was the second of the man who "was like a brother" . The basis of his success in life, according to him, is that "he was an absolutely normal person, a quality that is rare in football nowadays" .

The goal was not an easy one: he had to continue writing successes in the most golden chapter of the club's history. Neither was growing in popularity: "He didn't take fame very well. He enjoyed soccer exclusively” . Fortunately, he shared the challenge with his lifelong friends. According to Roura, "that was one of the differential aspects. We shared the knowledge and the feeling of this house. [...] We always told him what we had to say when we had to say it. Sometimes he was fine with it and sometimes not, but that is the greatness of friendship" . One phrase sums up Tito Vilanova's time on the Barça bench: "Everything was going well except what needed to go well" , Roura said.

The gray days and the most valuable lesson in life

Although he underwent medical tests during the preseason, Tito Vilanova relapsed from the malignant tumor he suffered in 2012. So Jordi Roura fulfilled the duties of head coach on the pitch for four months, an uncomfortable situation: "In addition to the pressure and demands, there was the personal issue. I knew he was fighting for his life. It was an absolutely anomalous situation that I hope never happens again".

The outcome was very hard, but at the same time it gave him a life lesson: "Since all this happened, I face things with a different approach. Things are of relative importance, and football is just football” . Now he focuses on enjoying the little things and, from time to time, sharing a meal and a long after-dinner conversation with "Els Golafres" with Tito in his memory.

The players who will be part of the FC Barcelona team that will attempt a comeback in London and secure a spot in the Champions League final in Bilbao have been revealed. Jonatan Giráldez announced the squad just before the Vueling Airbus, decked out in Barça colors, departed for London. No surprises here. The expected 20 first team players are included, along with two young players from the reserve team, Vicky López and Martina Fernández . The main news is in the team's lineup, not the announcement. Mapi León will also be present, despite still recovering from a serious knee injury, to support his teammates in this crucial match against the London team.
