Although today the center forward position does not generate debate at FC Barcelona – the club has Robert Lewandowski and is awaiting the arrival of Vitor Roque, possibly in January 2024 –, the technical office of the Barça team does not rest and is attentive to any new emergence or market opportunity. A club like the Catalan is obliged to be at the forefront and even more so when it comes to a key position such as center forward.
Go ahead that FC Barcelona has Lewandowski for the 2024-25 season despite the ‘siren songs’ that come from Saudi Arabia and that will intensify in the next summer market. The next one would be the third campaign of the four that he signed in the summer of 2022. In this 2024-25 financial year, if the Pole played less than 55% of the games, the club could terminate his contract. For now, the performance of Lewandowski is positive: 57 games (4,769 minutes), 39 goals and 12 assists. The statistics support Barça’s ‘9’.
In any case, in terms of the (near) future, Barça is searching the market to secure Lewandowski’s replacement despite already securing the Brazilian Vitor Roque. whom the coaching staff expects in January 2024 to help the team when titles such as the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey will begin to be won.
