Barcelona are actively searching for a striker to support Robert Lewandowski next season as he approaches his 37th birthday in August. While high-profile names like Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyökeres have been linked, the club is also considering more budget-friendly alternatives.
According to Sport, one surprise candidate is Fabio Silva, the 22-year-old forward from Las Palmas, who has impressed in La Liga this season. Silva’s performances have caught the attention of Barcelona’s coaching staff, making him a viable option given the club’s financial constraints.
Deco and Hansi Flick are looking for a striker who can complement Lewandowski without demanding a starting role. Silva, with his adaptability and potential, fits this profile well. His seven goals this season highlight his growing talent, and his transfer would be significantly more affordable compared to other targets.
Barcelona has yet to make a final decision, but Silva’s combination of affordability, quality, and willingness to play a supporting role makes him an attractive option. The club will continue evaluating its choices before deciding whether to invest in a marquee signing or opt for a cost-effective solution like Silva.
