La Liga
Joan Laporta already has an alternative in mind if Robert Lewandowski ultimately leaves FC Barcelona this summer. The Barcelona president is closely following Nicolas Jackson, the forward from Chelsea, who could fit the ideal profile as a replacement for the Polish striker. The potential departure of Lewandowski to Saudi Arabia has raised alarms in the sporting direction, and amidst this scenario, the Senegalese emerges as an exciting option in the Barcelona entity's offices.
Jackson, 24 years old, already knows Spanish football from his time at Villarreal, and his adaptation to LaLiga's style could be immediate. With 13 goals in 33 matches in his first season with the London team, his performance has not entirely convinced the new coach Enzo Maresca, and his future at Stamford Bridge is not guaranteed. His speed, physical power, and ability to play in space are valued by the Barça environment, traits that fit Hansi Flick's vision.
Barcelona has Robert Lewandowski on its agenda
Although initially his arrival would be seen as a natural transition after Lewandowski's era, the possibility of having both for a period is also on the table. However, at present, it seems unlikely that they coexist in the squad, especially due to the economic adjustment it would entail. Everything depends on the outcome of the Lewandowski situation and Chelsea's real interest in negotiating.
It is evident that Barça is planning ahead to avoid being without a leading goal scorer. The age of the Pole and the interest from Saudi football have forced Laporta to think about the immediate future, with Jackson's name gaining strength in that planning.
