Secret Unveiled: Are Barcelona Players Falling for an Autograph Scam?
22 January 2026
Context and Revelations
A scenario that keeps happening with Blaugrana players has just been laid bare. Spanish journalist Chavi Campos reports that Barcelona players have recently stopped signing club shirts.
Campos explained on RadioCat that fans waiting at the training facility gate ask for autographs and then resell the shirts at high prices.
He added that some autograph signings are so authentic that certain people wear sunglasses with cameras to film the moment and prove the signature later to buyers.
He noted that these shirts can sell for 600 to 800 euros, which is insane.
Imagine someone wearing recording sunglasses approaching a player like Rafinha and asking for a signature, only to use the footage as proof when selling the shirt.
The players are aware of this trend and have said enough. They love being close to the public, but things have wandered off course.
In his closing remarks, Campos says the phenomenon has become a kind of exploitation-driven trade, turning spontaneous signing into something less innocent, and players now hesitate to sign on the spot, even though it used to be normal.
Punchline time: If autograph signing were an Olympic sport, these scenes would win gold for drama and lose silver for common sense.
Punchline 2: The next crime thriller features a sunglasses-wearing autograph hunter and a sign that reads signed, sealed, delivered, and sold on the street corner.
