Five Players Say Goodbye to Barcelona in Final Match Against Athletic Bilbao
Barcelona’s 2024/25 season ends with a clash at San Mamés against Athletic Bilbao—a match that also serves as a farewell for several key players. After a season full of challenges, growth, and success, the club prepares to part ways with some squad members as Hansi Flick’s era begins taking shape.
Wojciech Szczesny
The veteran Polish goalkeeper, who came out of retirement to join Barcelona last October, has a renewal offer but hasn’t committed. He’s weighing the option carefully with his wife, especially since he would serve as backup to Ter Stegen. Szczesny isn’t expected to play in the final match.
Iñaki Peña
Peña might make a second-half appearance, but his departure seems certain. A La Masia graduate and long-time squad member, he temporarily became the starter during Ter Stegen’s injury. With his contract running until 2026, a move to another Spanish club is likely.
Ansu Fati
Limited playing time this season has sealed Fati’s fate. Though Flick gave him chances, the winger has struggled to fit in. He’s expected to start the Bilbao match as a gesture of farewell, with a permanent sale on the table despite his contract running until 2027.
Pablo Torre
Torre started the season well but has barely featured in 2025. With tough competition in midfield, he may leave on loan or a permanent deal this summer. His contract runs until 2026.
Pau Víctor
Known for his dedication and positive attitude in training, Pau Víctor is expected to leave, likely on loan, despite having a contract through 2029. He may start in the final game of the season.
