Robert Lewandowski has made a strong start to the season, surprising some given the uncertainty surrounding his future at Barcelona. As one of the team’s highest-paid players after Frenkie de Jong, he has been linked to a potential exit.
Fortunately, coach Hansi Flick has played a key role in revitalizing Lewandowski’s form, which had suffered under Xavi Hernandez due to personal issues. Having previously maximized Lewandowski’s potential at Bayern Munich, Flick has successfully rekindled the Polish star’s brilliance.
However, according to the Spanish newspaper El Nacional, despite Lewandowski’s strong performances, his future at Camp Nou remains uncertain, as he will be a free agent on June 30 and approaching 37. As a result, Barcelona is considering a younger, more dynamic replacement, with Viktor Gyökeres emerging as a top candidate.
Sporting Lisbon forward Viktor Gyökeres has made a significant impact since joining the team over a year ago, scoring eight goals and providing three assists in just six games this season. He currently leads the major leagues in 2024, outpacing renowned players like Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, and Kylian Mbappé.
