Barça's Three-Pronged Attack Plan for Life After Lewandowski
Barcelona are actively pursuing replacements for Robert Lewandowski with Julian Alvarez topping their wishlist, while Harry Kane emerges as an ambitious alternative.
Barça Already Hunting for Lewandowski’s Heir
The Catalans aren’t hanging about when it comes to planning for life after their Polish marksman, with the club already making moves behind the scenes for a successor.
According to transfer specialist Matteo Moretto, Barcelona have kicked their search for a new number nine into high gear, with Robert Lewandowski potentially heading for the Camp Nou exit door this summer. While his departure isn’t “100% decided” yet, there’s a “good possibility” the Polish striker’s Barcelona chapter closes at season’s end.
The Three-Pronged Strategy
Barça’s approach to replacing their veteran goalscorer appears to be working along three distinct lines:
-
The Dream Target: Julian Alvarez tops Joan Laporta’s personal wishlist. The Argentine is seen as the ideal profile to lead the line and has been on the president’s radar for some time.
-
The Ambitious Alternative: Harry Kane has emerged as a surprise option being explored by the Blaugrana hierarchy. However, any potential deal for the Bayern Munich striker would be extraordinarily complex to pull off.
-
The Youth Project: Barcelona are simultaneously scouting young forwards with “very high potential” as part of their long-term planning.
Other Transfer Whispers
In other market movements connected to Spanish clubs:
-
Mika Mármol has three suitors with Girona leading the chase ahead of Como and Roma. Las Palmas are reluctant to sell their defender in January but will listen to significant offers.
-
Nemanja Gudelj (Sevilla) has appeared on Genoa’s radar, with the Italian club seeking experienced personalities to strengthen their squad.
-
Endrick’s loan from Real Madrid to Lyon is “100% closed” between the player and the French club, with only minor details remaining between the clubs. The Brazilian is seeking playing time ahead of the World Cup.
The winter transfer window could see more unexpected moves as players seek regular minutes ahead of next year’s international competitions.
