Barça Is Very Attentive to the Center Forward Market. Knowing that the team will need to strengthen in that position sooner rather than later, Deco is working on it quietly. Among the names considered favorites is, above all, Viktor Gyökeres, the trending name in Europe.
The other is Alexander Isak, who is showing his class in the Premier League with Newcastle's jersey. His ability to get open, his intelligence in movements, and his ease in scoring goals have positioned him as a serious option.
However, Barça knows that these names have a lot of prestige and also has more affordable alternatives. In this regard, Jonathan David, a Canadian forward from Lille, could be an interesting option because his contract is ending. Deco is analyzing all possible options to strengthen Barça's attack, aware that the need for a quality goal scorer is increasingly urgent.
Robert Lewandowski Has a Contract Until 2026
Lewandowski remains Barça's offensive reference, but the club has doubts about his ability to face all the matches of a season. At 36 years old and with a contract until 2026, the Polish forward is still a key piece in Flick's scheme, but doubts about his physical condition are beginning to arise. Barça knows that, as Lewandowski advances in his career, it will be more challenging for him to play all the matches as a starter.
That's why the club is already preparing for the day when Lewandowski won't be available to start in all the matches. The need to find a suitable replacement is clear, and Barça's sports management is working to bring in a forward in the near future.
A European Soccer Star Offers to Play for Barça
Barça's interest in strengthening the forward line has not gone unnoticed in Europe, and several footballers have started to offer themselves. One of the players is Dusan Vlahovic, a Serbian forward from Juventus. According to "El Nacional.cat," Vlahovic has lost his starting position in the Vecchia Signora due to the emergence of Kolo Muani, and that has led him to offer himself to Barça.
Vlahovic, with his imposing physical profile and goal-scoring ability, could be an interesting and more affordable option than Isak and Gyökeres for Barça. The Serbian, who has already demonstrated his quality in Italy, could bring his goal-scoring ability to Barça, and his desire to change teams could facilitate his arrival.
