From Tanzania to Monaco: How players not in the Barcelona squad enjoy their summer holidays

While many Barcelona players are currently focused on World Cup duty with their national team, several members of coach Hansi Flick's squad are enjoying a well-deserved summer break before returning for the new season next month. With no international obligations this summer, a number of key players have taken the opportunity to travel, celebrate personal milestones and recharge after a stressful season. Their activities on social media have given fans a look at how they are enjoying the final weeks before preparations for the start of the 2026-27 season. From exotic destinations to family celebrations and personal projects, Barcelona's stars have been making the most of their time away from football.

One of the most notable trips came from Marc Casado. The midfielder explored Tanzania with his girlfriend, Noa Brea, after previously spending time in Formentera. Photos shared online show the couple enjoying one of Africa's most stunning views during their holiday.


Meanwhile, Wojciech Szczesny marked a special moment off the field by celebrating his 10th wedding anniversary with wife Marina. The occasion was remembered with a spectacular event attended by family, friends and many familiar football faces, including Robert Lewandowski and Anna Lewandowska.

In addition, Alejandro Balde combined relaxation with exercise, sharing photos from a boxing session in Barcelona. Furthermore, Gerard Martin chose Mallorca as his summer vacation destination after just missing an appointment with the Spanish team at the World Cup. The defender shared photos of his holiday while making the most of his free time before the new season kicks off.

Marc Bernal's vacation started a little later than some of his teammates because he participated in training activities to prepare for Spain's World Cup. Finally, Roony Bardghji is making the most of his time off. The young striker recently attended the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Monaco and shared many pictures from his visit to the famous destination.
