Per-Physical: Lewandowski may spend his last year at Barcelona, ​​and Ferran is expected to take over No. 9

The Daily Sports Daily reported that Lewandowski may spend his last year in Barcelona, ​​and Ferran is expected to take over No. 9.

Lewandowski is fulfilling his fourth contract year as a Barcelona player, the last year he signed when he joined from Bayern in July 2022. Both the players themselves and the Barcelona club tend to terminate the cooperation relationship between the two parties in 2026. Unless there is a major change, the possibility of the Polish striker renewing his contract and staying at the team is slim, but considering that it is too early, no possibility can be ruled out 100%.

In the planning of the sports director, Lewandowski's center position is not held by Lewandowski, who turned 37 on August 21. In fact, since it joined Barcelona, ​​age issues have always been the focus of attention from the outside world. But Lewandowski always responded to doubts with stadium goals. He won the Golden Boot Award in the first season with 23 league goals (33 goals in various competitions), helping the team coached by Xavi to win the league championship, and won 26 goals in the second season. Last season, he scored 42 goals under Flick, tying his peak data during his Bayern period.

The performance and contribution of the Polish scorer are unquestionable. Nevertheless, the club must plan a succession plan for the center position in the future to maintain the offensive firepower level. There are many names associated with Barcelona, ​​including top scorers such as Isaac, Yorkez, Alvarez and even Haaland, but Barcelona's current economic situation is still unattainable.

There is still plenty of time to plan for center replacement next summer, but first-team sports director Deke already has solutions that do not rely on signings. He is well aware of the club's difficulties in signing. As shown in the summer window ending on September 1, Barcelona can only introduce Joan Garcia, loan Rashford and bet on Rooney Badge.

In the face of the real dilemma, the optimal solution is to maximize the use of Flick's existing lineup resources. This means reusing Ferran Torres, the winger who joined Camp Nou from Manchester City, has transformed into a reliable center alternative after several seasons. Although he often switches between the wing and the middle, the center position seems to be his destination in Barcelona.

Deco has listed this player as the number one replacement after Lewandowski left the team. Although the sports management department still needs to pay attention to market trends, the core idea is to give Ferran Torres room for continued growth. In the first three rounds of La Liga, he scored two goals when Lewandowski was absent due to physical discomfort.
