Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres struggles show Barcelona must prioritise a new striker this summer
"Lewandowski has served the club incredibly well since his signing, more than justifying his contract, which ends this summer. However, he has begun to look jaded in many games this year, looking every inch a soon-to-be 38-year-old coming towards the end of his career at the elite level."
"Ferran is a different kettle of fish altogether. Last season, culers saw a very real glimpse of exactly what The Shark could do when given a run in the side and the confidence of the manager. He really was excellent in Barca's run to the Copa del Rey."
"So far in 2025/26, the Spaniard has 15 goals and one assist in 36 games in all competitions, though only one league goal since early December. This summer would realistically be the last chance for Barca to get any money from a sale and use that as part of any purchase for a replacement."
Barcelona's squad requires strengthening, particularly in replacing Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres. Lewandowski, nearing the end of his career, has shown signs of decline. Although he has been a valuable player, his performance has diminished. Ferran Torres has also struggled with form, scoring only one league goal since December. With Torres' contract expiring in 2027, this summer presents a crucial opportunity for Barcelona to sell him and reinvest in a replacement. The club is reportedly interested in Marcus Rashford as a potential target.
