Barcelona admit that replacing Victor Valdes and Carles Puyol means they need to do more than simply "tweak" their team this summer.
Valdes and Puyol have both confirmed they will leave the Camp Nou in the summer when their deals expire.
The start of 32 years and 35 years Valdes Puyol will mark a turning point for turning Barça because they will be the first player to depart from their side, which has become one of the most successful in the history of football.
Over the past nine years , Barça won six league titles in Spain, two Spanish Cups and three UEFA Champions League success .
Puyol : The heart of Barca
"We knew that Victor Valdes was not going to stay , we now know that Carles Puyol will not either," said sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta .
"They were two obvious references to our team. While taking into account these two players , I would say it is already more than the settings we considered. "
Zubizarreta said they already have a player lined up to replace Valdes, who has been strongly linked with a move to England.
" I already know the name of the goalkeeper who will replace Valdes and it is practically already signed ," said Catalunya Radio.
" We just have to give it some more time before we make the announcement. "
While the departure of Puyol is certain - with a movement that America or Asia - Head of Real Madrid Florentino Perez still feels there is a doubt about the departure of Valdes .
" It remains to be seen if Victor Valdes leave Barcelona , he could not . He has not left . Yes , he said he would, but we 'll have to wait and see ," said Perez.bbb
