Nikola Mirotic and Barcelona will end their partnership after four years in a complex way with a negotiation that might take weeks. The Montenegrin player's legacy in Barcelona won't end up with as many successes as he wished, but the club won't be able to use him as a scapegoat anymore.

This will be a summer of change in Catalonia, and FC Barcelona could change drastically from the past years. Some of these changes have already taken place.

Sarunas Jasikevicius is no longer the coach of the Catalan club and has been replaced by Roger Grimau.

But, in all likelihood, the biggest change facing the Catalan club will be the farewell of Nikola Mirotic, the team's star player who arrived four seasons ago in Barcelona.

The Catalan club has been experiencing a severe economic crisis for several years. All the various sections have been impacted, but the basketball team will be particularly affected this summer.
