Barcelona Urgently Seeks Reinforcements in Key Positions
As the season reaches its crucial stage, Deco is already planning Barcelona’s key moves for the upcoming summer transfer window. Strengthening the left-wing position is a top priority, with the club looking for a dynamic player who can provide width and attacking depth.
Defense is another area of focus, as Barça aims to reinforce both full-back positions due to the lack of reliable backups for Balde and Koundé. Additionally, they are in the market for an experienced center-back who can bring leadership to the squad, with Jonathan Tah emerging as the preferred option.
Uncertainty Surrounding the Striker Position
Barcelona is also evaluating the center-forward role, as concerns persist over Lewandowski’s long-term form. Despite remaining a key offensive figure at 36, the Polish striker’s declining mobility and the physically demanding schedule raise doubts about his ability to maintain his high level of performance next season.
Barça Weighs Lewandowski’s Future Amid Search for a New Striker
Barcelona is debating whether to rely on Lewandowski for another season or seek a fresh, dynamic alternative in attack. The club understands that finding a quality replacement won’t be easy or affordable, but they see it as crucial to planning a smooth transition. As a result, Lewandowski’s future is set to be a major topic of discussion within Barça’s management this summer.
Ferran Torres’ Impact Raises Questions
One of the main reasons for the growing doubts about Lewandowski is the team’s improved performance when Ferran Torres plays as a striker. With the Spaniard leading the attack, Barça has displayed a more fluid and dynamic style. His movement creates space and enhances the play of wingers like Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, who thrive in a system with more mobility.
This contrast has sparked internal debate at the club. While Lewandowski remains a proven goal scorer, some believe Barça functions better without a traditional center-forward, prioritizing speed and fluid combinations in the final third.
Alexander Isak Tops Barça’s Wishlist
Amid this discussion, Barça has begun identifying potential striker targets, with Alexander Isak emerging as the most exciting option for both the club and fans. The Swedish forward, currently at Newcastle, is considered one of the world’s top talents. However, his signing presents a major challenge, as Newcastle values him at €150 million—far beyond Barça’s current financial reach.
Dusan Vlahovic Emerges as a More Realistic Option
Given the financial challenges of signing Alexander Isak, another name gaining traction in recent days is Dusan Vlahovic. According to El Nacional.cat, the Serbian striker is considered a more affordable and feasible alternative. The Juventus forward fits the profile of a strong and prolific No. 9, with proven goal-scoring ability and room for further development.
