Barcelona is considering life without Robert Lewandowski, whose goal scoring has significantly declined this season, suggesting it may be his final one with the club.
The club is determined to find a long-term replacement, with Julian Alvarez being the clear favorite. According to Radio MARCA, Alvarez is highly regarded across all levels of Barcelona — from the coaching staff and sporting director Deco to president Joan Laporta and the dressing room.
However, signing the Argentine forward will not be straightforward. Atletico Madrid is determined to retain their star striker and is reportedly working on offering him a new long-term contract. Additionally, the transfer is likely to be expensive, which Barcelona cannot easily afford due to its ongoing economic difficulties.
Ultimately, how many unwanted high-earning players Barcelona can offload next summer and the speed of these sales will be crucial.
