Barça must decide whether to sign a top-tier '9' next summer. Erling Haaland and Viktor Gyökeres are the club's favorites

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The lack of goals has been one of the main causes, if not the biggest, of the FC Barcelona results crisis in LaLiga. The drop in performance of Robert Lewandowski has raised alarms within the blue and garnet entity, as at 36 years old, the Pole is the only reliable center forward that Hansi Flick has in his squad.

For this reason, both the sports management and the coaching staff concluded that the arrival of a '9' for the next season must be one of the main priorities. Considering the club's financial context, the initial idea was to sign a young, promising, and affordable goalscorer, with Jonathan David being the main candidate in this regard.

However, the option of the Canadian does not quite fit in Can Barça, where some voices already consider that the time has come to strongly bet on signing a 'top' center forward if the club's finances allow it. Despite his overwhelming start to the season, the reality is that 'Lewy' will turn 37 next summer, and the culés want to cover their backs.

Barça's Options

Thus, the newspaper 'SPORT' reveals that Deco has set the machinery in motion to prepare the ground in case the blaugranas can undertake an operation of this caliber. Viktor Gyökeres and Erling Haaland are the big favorites of the sports management, who are aware of the existing difficulties in both transfers but trust that certain factors will align in their favor.

Additionally, names like Darwin Núñez or Victor Osimhen have also been offered to the institution, where they are analyzing all the options on the table considering that if one of these figures ends up landing in the City of Condal, coexisting with Lewandowski will become a hot topic for the Catalans.

The second half of the season will mark the roadmap for Barça, with the hope that the Pole will regain his best form. The player is on track to reach 60% of the matches that ensure his renewal and his desire is to continue wearing the blue and garnet jersey, but it will be his performance that will sway the club's final decision regarding the upcoming summer transfer market.
