Lewandowski has continued to show impressive form with 42 goals in all competitions last season, contributing greatly to the domestic treble of the Catalonia team. However, with the Polish star aged 36, Barcelona are forced to consider replacing him in the future.
According to the European press, Julian Alvarez - an Argentine striker currently playing for Atletico Madrid - has caught the attention of the Camp Nou management board. With only 25 years old, this will clearly become an extremely long-term replacement.
Joining Atletico from Manchester City in 2024 with a fee of 75 million euros + 15 million add-ons, Alvarez quickly proved his worth. In his first season in La Liga, he scored 27 goals and assisted 11 times in 47 matches, becoming one of the most effective strikers in the tournament.
Although there is still a contract until 2030, the possibility of Barcelona approaching Alvarez is not impossible. His representative, Mr. Fernando Hidalgo, recently shared: "It's a daily thing at Atletico.
We will see how the negotiations take place. Football is constantly changing. They will have to communicate with the club, where the situation will be assessed and then there will be negotiations between the three sides.
Barcelona are unlikely to rush, but a close look at the 24-year-old shows they are serious about preparing for a new era without Lewandowski.
