"At 37, Robert Lewandowski continues to perform strongly for Barcelona in attack, with his form especially improving after his return from injury. However, his contract stands to expire at the end of the season, and as things stand, everything indicates that the Blaugrana do not plan on offering a renewal to the Poland captain. In fact, the search for a replacement is already underway, with Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez seen as the dream target, although signing him will be a near-impossible mission."
"Another player who finds himself in the same situation as Lewandowski, Andreas Christensen's contract runs out on 30 June, 2026, and there appear to be no plans for an extension for the Danish centre-back. The former Chelsea defender has battled injury and fitness problems regularly over the past couple of seasons. Moreover, he is on significant wages - amounts that Barcelona cannot afford for a player who is far from a starter at this point."
FC Barcelona have started squad planning for next season, prioritising a new centre-forward, a winger, and a left-footed centre-back for Hansi Flick and Deco. Several players could depart at the end of the season for a variety of reasons, with four candidates identified as possible exits in summer 2026. Robert Lewandowski, 37, has regained form but faces contract expiry and no expected renewal, while the club searches for a replacement, reportedly eyeing Julian Alvarez. Andreas Christensen’s contract ends on 30 June 2026; injuries, fitness issues, and high wages have limited his role and make extension unlikely despite his desire to stay. Ronald Araujo’s future could be questioned after a recent grave error despite a long-term contract signed in January.
