Barcelona

In July 2021, Barcelona announced the signing of Demir on a season-long loan from Rapid Wien for €500,000, with an option to make the move permanent in the future for a further €10 million, but if the player reached ten appearances the club would be obligated to activate it. On 23 August 2021, Demir made his competitive debut against Athletic Bilbao. He came on as a replacement for Martin Braithwaite after 61 minutes, becoming Barça's youngest foreign debutant since Lionel Messi (aged 17 years and 114 days) who did so in 2004. On 31 August 2021, Demir was registered by Barcelona to play in La Liga as a first-team player after he was previously set to be registered in the reserves. He was handed the number 11 jersey that was previously held by Ousmane Dembélé. On 13 January 2022, the loan was terminated, and Demir returned to Austria.
