This is going to be a hectic transfer market for FC Barcelona, with the financial fair play rules still in play. The team is aiming to strengthen itself, but also expects to make some sales to free up salary space and bring in more money for other deals. While there are few players who are considered untouchable, each situation will be carefully considered.
Marc ter Stegen
32 years old, contract until 2028
The Barça goalkeeper recently renewed his contract. He is one of the players with a secure future at the club, and there are no plans for him to leave.
Iñaki Peña
25 years old, contract until 2026
Peña’s situation is still up in the air. The goalkeeper is performing well, but he might consider a move if an interesting offer comes along. Betis has shown interest, but fitting him into their financial plans could be tricky.
Ronald Araujo
25 years old, contract until 2026
The Uruguayan defender is in talks for a contract extension with Barça. While the club is optimistic, Bayern Munich and Manchester United are still eyeing him.
Joao Cancelo
29 years old, currently on loan
Barcelona will need to negotiate with Manchester City to bring in Cancelo permanently. The Portuguese full-back’s price is estimated to be around 25 million.
Alejandro Balde
20 years old, contract until 2028
The young left back is currently injured but is expected to return next season. While he is not considered untouchable, Barça will evaluate any strong offers that come in.
Iñigo Martínez
32 years old, contract until 2025
The Basque defender’s contract expires soon, and his future at the club is uncertain. While Xavi values him, other priorities may take precedence. An exit is a possibility.
Marcos Alonso
33 years old, contract ends in 2024
It looks like Marcos Alonso will leave for free at the end of the season. The experienced full-back is seeking more playing time and has options, including a potential move to Atlético de Madrid.
Jules Koundé
25 years old, contract until 2027
The center back has been performing at a high level in recent games and is very committed. While he is a key player, he could be open to considering a significant offer. In France, there have been rumors linking him to PSG.
Andreas Christensen
28 years old, with a contract until 2026
The Danish center back has transitioned into a pivotal role and has become essential for Xavi in his new position. The club wants to keep him, but any offers for him would be straightforward in terms of ‘fair play’ since he joined for free and there is no amortization to consider.
Pau Cubarsi
17 years old, with a contract until 2026
The young talent from the academy is in talks for a contract renewal. A financial agreement has already been reached, and Barcelona intends to secure him as a non-transferable player.
Hector Fort
17 years old, with a contract until 2026
Still under a youth contract, his release clause is around 10 million euros. Barcelona is in negotiations to extend his contract as he will turn 18 in August. Despite tempting offers from clubs like PSG, his future at the club seems promising, especially if Xavi continues as the coach.
Oriol Romeu
32 years old, with a contract until 2026
The midfielder from Ulldecona revealed in an interview on RAC1 that he will decide his future based on his feelings at the end of the season. Girona is a potential option for him in the future.
Gavi
18 years old, with a contract until 2026
Considered a key player for Barcelona, Gavi is working hard on his recovery to be ready for the upcoming preseason under Xavi’s guidance.
Pedri
21 years old, with a contract until 2026
Xavi has full confidence in Pedri and is supporting him in overcoming his physical challenges. He is on the right path, and no major changes are expected for him.
Frenkie de Jong
26 years old, with a contract until 2026
Barcelona is eager to renew his contract, but they are waiting for a response to their proposal. There are concerns that the Dutchman might delay the process. If he does not renew and offers come in, they will consider them.
Ilkay Gundogan
33 years old, with a contract until 2025
He’s been the standout player of the season, and there are no plans for him to leave this summer. Xavi values Gündogan highly as a key player in the team.
Fermin Lopez
20 years old, with a contract until 2027
As one of the season’s breakout stars, it’s unlikely he’ll be leaving. Any offer would have to be very tempting. For now, he’s set to stay next season, and Fermin is thrilled about it.
Sergi Roberto
32 years old, with a contract until 2024
The captain, who’s in good form, is nearing the end of his contract. Despite interest from various teams, including Girona, Xavi’s presence makes a contract renewal more likely.
Ferran Torres
24 years old, with a contract until 2027
The Shark has been more influential than expected this season. However, his future is uncertain, depending on what the summer transfer window brings. Barça values him highly and won’t let him go easily, as they need to make the most of their investment and find a suitable replacement for Xavi.
Joao Felix
24 years old, currently on loan
Barça must first decide if they want to keep him before negotiating with Atlético de Madrid. If he continues to perform well and accepts his role, it would make sense for him to stay another year. His future is up in the air.
Lamine Yamal
16 years old, with a contract until 2030
The young forward is a key player now and for the future. He’s protected by a hefty release clause of 1,000 million and has a contract extension until 2030 once he turns 18 in 2026. He’s not going anywhere.
Raphinha
27 years old, with a contract until 2027
Raphinha is a player in demand, especially in England. Barça is open to offers as they look to recoup their investment. His future is uncertain.
Vitor Roque
19 years old, with a contract until 2031
He was a January signing, but he’s struggling to adapt and hasn’t had many chances to prove himself. His future at the club is uncertain, and a loan move could be on the cards if things don’t improve. However, ‘Tigrinho’ is determined to make it work.
Robert Lewandowski
35 years, with contract until 2026
The Polish striker is the team’s top scorer, although his record is the second highest on the squad. Despite the rumors that kept him away from Barcelona, Lewandowski has already publicly answered that his intention is to continue as a Barça player next season.
Marc Guiu
18 years old, with contract until 2025
The young Barça striker is currently in talks to adjust his contract to better fit his new role. This will not only protect him but also show his dedication as a Barça player. With Xavi’s support, like in Fort’s case, it will be easier for him to stay in the first team next year, even if it means being on the reserve team. This is especially true if Roque goes out on loan.
