Barça found the replacement for Lewandowski and it's heavy

Barcelona is preparing for a very busy summer transfer window, the first since his long -awaited return to rule 1: 1 of the liga. Several positions should be discussed at the end of the season, and one of them is that of an attacker.

It is not a secret for anyone that Barcelona seeks to sign a successor to Robert Lewandowski, even if the question is to know “for when”. The idea is to consider the market this summer, but since the Polish veteran will remain at least until the end of the 2025-26 season, one wonders if the Catalan giants will delay the 12-month operation.

Alexander Isak is considered a leading target, even if the money requested by Newcastle United would make an agreement almost impossible for the moment. A financially more viable option for Barcelona is his Swedish teammate Viktor Gyokeres, who would be available for 65 million euros, according to Sport.

The Catalan daily also indicates that Barcelona “has everything in hand” to recruit Gyokeres this summer. If 65 million euros would be a relatively reachable price, the Catalans could lower it using two players: Francisco Trincao and Vitor Roque.

Barcelona sold Trinca to Sporting CP 18 months ago, and as part of this agreement, they kept 50 % of its rights. Portuguese giants want to buy it, and a solution could be found during negotiations for gyokers.

In addition, Sporting has already expressed its interest in Roque, who should return to Barcelona this summer after his loan to Real Betis. A more cash player agreement could be sought in another way to bring the price back to a more affordable figure.
