Barcelona is currently in the planning phase for the coming season, and one of the most important questions to answer is what their forward line will look like. Veteran -striker Robert Lewandowski seems to continue on the club next year, even though he turns 37, and it seems that he will remain the first choice.
The Blaugrana must make a decision when he has to replace Lewandowski and with whom it has evaluated and had evaluated options to replace it this summer. Two the most frequently mentioned names were Sporting CP Vooruit Viktor Gyokeres and Alexander Isak from Newcastle United. Although there have been doubts about their ability to bind to such an operation financially, it seems that they will not even try this. According to the sport, none of the Swedish attackers will be aimed this summer.
Both sports director Deco and manager Hansi Flick are of the opinion that with Lewandowski still scores goals, they have to have enough firepower for next season combined with their alternatives. They have agreed a new deal with Lewandowski, and that will include a unilateral option to extend its deal until 2027, a decision that they will make, depending on the finances, performance and progress of the team.
Ferran Torres has also shown that he can score this season through the center of the couch, while the short glimpse of Dani Olmo was also very encouraging for Barcelona as a false nine, because they brought real betis on the sword 5-1 . Instead, Flick and Deco have agreed to tackle other positions, and the star name that is still mentioned is Luis Diaz van Liverpool, although this probably requires the sale of one of their existing stars.
Lewandowski stays at a high level and is the current Pichichi, but has already shown signs that he is struggling to maintain that form in the course of a full season. The Blaugrana certainly risks the next season by trusting a 37-year-old to be their main goal next season, because a more noticeable drop-off could still come to the game without warning.
