"The Poland international certainly still knows where the goal is but, with respect, he almost needs to have the ball served to him on a plate in order to be able add to his tally nowadays. One goal in the last six isn't good enough at this level, and with his contract coming to an end this summer, not to mention that he'll be 38 in August, there's a decent argument that collective caps should be doffed in his direction for his immense contribution, whilst sending him on his way for the final stage of his glorious career."
"Ferran is also in the midst of a goal drought. One goal in the last eight indicates that 'The Shark' has been a little toothless of late, something that's blighted his career at the club at various stages. When in form, he's not only proven to be a more than able deputy for Lewandowski, but an elite-level front man. However, those periods of form have been few and far between."
Barcelona approaches the end of the 2025-26 season with significant uncertainty regarding player transfers and squad composition, largely dependent on presidential election outcomes. While Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, and potentially Marcus Rashford are considered fixtures, questions surround veteran striker Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres. Lewandowski, approaching 38 with one goal in six matches, may warrant a farewell despite his contributions. Ferran Torres similarly struggles with inconsistency, recording one goal in eight games, and with his contract expiring next year, Barcelona may consider alternatives. The club must strategically evaluate its attacking options during the summer window.
