It promises to be a busy 2026 summer transfer window for Barcelona, who are hoping to make several big signings ahead of next season. On the other hand, there could also exits, which could help facilitate the arrivals deemed necessary to strengthen Hansi Flick’s squad for the 2026-27 campaign.

It has been expected for months that Robert Lewandowski will be the one to depart, but Barcelona are now considering a contract offer for the Polish striker. In turn, they are open to hearing offers for Ferran Torres, as ESPN have reported.
