Despite excellent statistics this season, Robert Lewandowski does not give complete satisfaction to FC Barcelona. The Polish striker no longer has the same performance in the game. His drop in performance has not escaped certain teammates who would encourage the sports management to bet on a new scorer.
The crazy victory against Benfica (4-5) on Tuesday reflects FC Barcelona's season quite well. In this meeting of the 7th day of the Champions League, the Blaugrana alternated between the good and the less good. The part can also symbolize the performances of Robert Lewandowski. Certainly, the Barça striker succeeded in his two penalties. But his evening performance is certainly not his best of the year. His 28 goals in all competitions are not enough to mask his difficulties in the game in recent weeks.
Sometimes shaken by opposing defenders, the 36-year-old center forward is no longer such a solid point of support up front. And his pressing has lost intensity. A drop in speed noticed internally. Some of his teammates as well as the technical staff noted his poor form. So much so that players like Lamine Yamal and Pedri would have alerted sports management. This is actually the version given by The National. Apparently, the two young talents believe that Barça needs a new striker who is more mobile and more suited to Hansi Flick's philosophy for next season. A signing considered essential if the Catalan club wants to claim all the trophies.
-Yökeres et Isak targeting
We must believe that the leaders are of the same opinion. Sports director Deco has already started to study certain tracks like Viktor Gyökeres and Alexander Isak. But for the Sporting Portugal striker as for the Newcastle striker, the operation would be very expensive and would require the sacrifices of players such as Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati. Not sure that Barça has the financial health to tackle this type of issue.
