Robert Lewandowski may still be performing well, but the question of his replacement is becoming increasingly pressing. This season, the Pole has already scored 4 goals in 6 La Liga matches , including 2 as a starter only due to injury problems, proving that he is still as lethal up front.

The Catalan newspaper explains that the Barcelona boss loves the Argentine, and that he is the club's number one target for the 2026 summer signing. A very complicated operation, of course, but the club is optimistic and believes that in the coming months, the club will be able to save money and improve its financial situation a little. One thing is certain: the player's release clause, of €500 million, is too high for Barcelona's finances, and it will therefore be necessary to negotiate with Atleti.
Discussions that are bound to be complicated, since the Colchoneros will not let their franchise player slip away so easily, he who has scored 6 goals and provided 1 assist in 7 La Liga matches so far. A positive point for Barça, however: the player's entourage is clearly in favor of a departure, and the player is said to greatly appreciate FC Barcelona. And we know, when it comes to finding tricks and scabrous strategies to recruit, Joan Laporta has no equal...
