Barcelona have entered a new era under the management of Hansi Flick, with the legendary Xavi being sacked by the Catalan giants last year.
The La Liga outfit are challenging on all fronts heading towards the end of that could be a historic 2024-25 campaign, but the futures of a number of their first-team players are currently unclear.
Here, Sports Mole takes a look at the Barcelona players whose contracts either expire this year, or in the summer of 2026.
