2 key Barcelona stars face a shock departure from the club as major changes loom in the summer transfer window.

With the summer transfer window rapidly approaching and the club’s wage structure under constant scrutiny, technical staff are weighing up the future of two players whose roles have come under increasing question.

The situation is part of a broader effort to ring‑fence the squad, cut costs where possible, and line up cheaper, more long‑term options for the No. 9 role.

The two forwards in the spotlight are veteran Robert Lewandowski and Spanish international Ferran Torres, as reported by journalist Helena Condis of COPE.

Lewandowski, who will turn 38 during the summer, is set to leave on a free transfer as his contract expires at the end of June, and Barcelona have not yet convinced him to stay on heavily reduced terms.

Reports indicate that the Polish striker is unhappy with the financial package being offered, raising the real possibility that he completes his Barcelona chapter after a productive but ageing final campaign.

His absence would leave a clear gap at the top of the pitch, one that the club is planning to fill with a new lead striker.

Ferran Torres, meanwhile, has also seen his future placed in the balance.

Despite being expected to take on a larger role under Hansi Flick, the former Manchester City attacker has struggled for consistency and endured a long goal drought that has tested the manager’s patience.

His fluctuating performances have left the club open to concrete offers if a suitable bid arrives, meaning a permanent exit is no longer ruled out.

All of this means Barcelona could soon part ways with both Lewandowski and Ferran, reshaping their attacking identity in one summer and opening the door for new signings like Julian Álvarez or a more affordable alternative such as Vedat Muriqi.
