Barcelona continue to scour European football for their next number nine, with Robert Lewandowski inching closer to 37 years old. The Polish forward has impressed beyond expectations this season, but the Blaugrana are aware that sooner or later they will have to make a move.
The favorite target to replace Lewandowski at the time of writing is Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, who is having a good season including 15 goals and 4 assists in just 22 appearances under Eddie Howe. However, Cadena SER also adds that RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko is also being scouted by the Blaugrana. Some of the key qualities he highlights are his pace and ability to get out of defense and move between the lines, following a debut season in the Bundesliga with 14 goals in 31 appearances.
This year, the 21-year-old has already scored 12 goals, along with three assists, in just 24 appearances. This season he has made the number nine his own in Leipzig and it seems unlikely that the German team will let him go for a small fee. The Slovenian was first linked to Barcelona in the summer of 2022 as he began breaking through at RB Salzburg.
