Replacing someone like Robert Lewandowski is not an easy job. When a player plays 427 games in club football and scores 614, it becomes very difficult to replace a man like that.
That is why when Lewandowski leaves next summer, Barcelona will have their work cut out while finding the right man to replace him. In fact, they have already started to lay the groundwork.
The Barcelona Sporting Director Deco, is adding players to a shortlist to keep an eye on and determine the right man to replace the Polish international.
The man who replaced Lewandowski at Bayern Munich, Harry Kane, is also in the shortlist of possible replacements for the 37-year-old.
Apart from the England star, the Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy is also on the radar of Barcelona.
However, perhaps the biggest name on the Barcelona shortlist will be Erling Haaland, the Manchester City goal machine.
But it is a dream signing for Barcelona. And the Blaugrana don’t have the financial power to get such a high-profile deal over the line.
Meanwhile, there is a chance that a former Manchester City star could become the successor of the Polish international.
Yes, Barcelona are also eyeing a move for Julian Alvarez. And, this deal will be within the grasp of the Catalan club.
Now, there is another name that has been added to their shortlist of strikers. According to Tuttosport (via Mundo Deportivo), Barcelona are now eyeing a move for a Serie A striker.
After playing over 150 games for Juventus and scoring over 60 goals, the Serbian international Dusan Vlahovic has now caught the attention of the Catalan club.
The 25-year-old’s contract with the Serie A giants will expire next year. So, Barcelona could sign him for free. And it would be a smart move for them given their financial situation.
