It’s a subject that comes up on the table quite regularly: who will replace Robert Lewandowski at the forefront of Barça’s attack? If it is true that the player is under contract until 2026 and that he is still performing very well – 25 goals with the Catalan club this season already! – his age (36 years old) logically means that he does not have a lot of seasons at the highest level ahead of him.
As the Catalan press has explained in recent months, management is already working on his replacement, and it is a matter still considered a priority. This summer, the club intends to recruit a star in attack. There has recently been talk of players like Erling Haaland (Manchester City) and Viktor Gyökeres (Sporting CP), and we know that thanks to the return to the 1:1 rule of financial fair play in La Liga, the Barcelonans will have more purchasing power and room to maneuver to bring in a big name.
A well-known player in Spain
And as revealed Mundo Deportivothe Norwegian and the Swede are not a priori the favorite players of Barça leaders. Indeed, the striker that Deco and others like the most is none other than Alexander Isak, the Swedish striker from Newcastle, who has already played in La Liga for Real Sociedad.
Author of a brilliant first part of the season, with 13 goals in 18 Premier League matches, the 25-year-old player is a hit and would a priori be a little cheaper than the other star attackers of the moment. Above all, the fact that Newcastle does not play in the Champions League on a regular basis could well push it to look for a new base. Regardless, Barça is seduced.
