Starting next January, a number of Barcelona stars will be free to negotiate with other clubs, amid expectations of transfers that could significantly alter the Catalan team’s lineup. This situation arises as these players’ contracts expire in the summer of 2026, giving them the right to explore new options without the club’s approval.
Despite the club’s desire to maintain team stability, several financial and technical factors may prompt some players to consider leaving Camp Nou during the upcoming winter transfer window.

Meanwhile, the club is seeking appropriate solutions to the contract renewal issue, amid uncertainty surrounding the future of some key players in the squad.
In light of this volatile landscape, it is essential to identify the players who are the subject of intense speculation in the coming period.
The four players are: Frenkie de Jong, Eric García, Andreas Christensen, and Robert Lewandowski.
De Jong is suffering from salary delays, making a departure a possibility despite ongoing negotiations to renew his contract, with both parties insisting on the player staying.
Eric García is looking for more playing time, and coach Hansi Flick is demanding a contract renewal, but he may take advantage of the January window if his situation doesn’t improve.
As for Christensen, the club’s management does not intend to renew his contract, which could push him to leave during the winter transfer window.
On the other hand, Lewandowski is receiving strong offers from Saudi clubs, but he is determined to continue his career with Barcelona, despite the club’s lack of urgency to renew his contract so far.
