La Liga
FC Barcelona is already beginning to outline a plan to ensure the continuity of its offensive power once Robert Lewandowski leaves the team. Despite the Polish striker continuing to shine with spectacular figures, his contract until 2026 and his age compel the club to look for long-term alternatives. In that sense, the names of Jonathan David and Viktor Gyökeres are emerging as the main candidates to take on the goal-scoring burden in the future, as reported by Relevo.
Jonathan David, the current standout player for Lille, has proven to be one of the most promising forwards in Europe thanks to his ability to finish and contribute to the creation of plays. On the other hand, Viktor Gyökeres, who is excelling at Sporting in Portugal, combines physical power and an excellent back-to-goal game, attributes that align with the profile Barça seeks for their next attacking leader.
The post-Lewandowski era won't be easy
The decision won't be easy. Lewandowski continues to perform at an extraordinary level, but the club must balance sports planning with economic reality. A move to bring in a new forward could happen in 2025, depending on the physical condition and performance of the Polish player. However, the margin for errors is minimal, as the fans' demands and the necessity for titles do not allow for hasty transitions.
Deco, as the sporting director, will lead this complex operation, evaluating not only the quality of potential signings but also their ability to handle the pressure of succeeding a legend. The arrival of a new forward will mark a crucial stage in Barcelona's project, aiming to maintain its competitiveness in Europe.
