Barça will continue to count on Robert Lewandowski, at least, for one more season. The Polish forward has recently communicated his intention to stay at the club and fulfill his contract, which ends in 2026. Despite rumors of a possible early departure, the player himself has already confirmed his commitment to Barça's project.
Lewandowski, at 36 years old, remains a decisive player in the area and a significant figure in the locker room. Although he will turn 37 in August, the Polish forward continues at a very high level.
The Isak plan is postponed until 2026
As a direct consequence of Lewandowski's continuity, Barça has decided to postpone interest in Alexander Isak until the summer of 2026. The Swedish forward was one of the club's priorities. However, with the Polish player's commitment, the immediate need to look for a starting forward has changed.
Additionally, the club's economic context has also influenced this decision. Salary cap restrictions remain an obstacle to making big signings, and an operation like Isak's, whichwould exceed €100 million, is unfeasible in the short term. Thus, Barça has opted to postpone the signing.
Deco studies more affordable options
Despite Lewandowski's continuity, Barça is aware of the need to give him rest and rotation. Therefore, Deco is actively working on finding a more affordable forward to strengthen the squad this summer. The intention is to find a profile that complements the Polish player and is affordable.
In this regard, several options in the market are being analyzed with special attention to players with contract situations favorable to the Catalan club.
Barça renews interest in an old target
One of the names that has resurfaced on Barça's agenda is Marcus Rashford. According to "Fichajes.net," the blaugrana team is seriously considering the possibility of signing the English forward for about €40 million. Rashford, currently on loan at Aston Villa, will not continue at Manchester United and would welcome a change of scenery this summer.
Barça already showed interest in Rashford during the last winter transfer window, although no operation was finalized. Now, with a more affordable figure on the table, the club could make another move for the English international. His versatility, scoring ability, and experience make him an interesting option to complement the forward line without the need for a large investment.
