Open casting at Barça to find the 'other' Lewandowski

To measure that approached the end of the 2022, from the FC Barcelona were leaving clear that the market of winter would be a window of signings without too many news from the Camp Nou. The Barcelona team understood that it could not improve much more his staff by the 'fair play' financial of LaLiga, and preferred to centre in some free options for the summer.

However, the signing of Memphis by the Athletic of Madrid leaves to the blaugrana with the possibility of sondear the market in the research of a substitute of the Dutch, but especially thinking in Robert Lewandowski. The technical body already knows that it is initiating the most important moment of the season and can do it with a forward less, by what in the next 10 days, the sportive direction would have to close a new incorporation.

The Barça already closed in the past market of winter three signings, all they leading -in addition to the return of Dani Alves-. Ferran Torres arrived from the Manchester City in return of 55 million euros, Aubameyang with the letter of freedom and Adama Traoré as yielded. This last formula is the one who wins more weight in the offices of the club blaugrana knowing that it does not have too margin of manoeuvre.

Two possible alternative

In winter is used to to have cases of footballers, as it has been it now Memphis, that do not explain for his technical body in spite of being good players. This precisely is what could look for Xavi Hernández, understanding that it could choose a profile more than his taste and close an operation of simple cession to the end of the season, or including some option of purchase as it happened with Adama.

Although it neither is an operation that go to be simple, the reality is that Lewandowski is a footballer that already has 34 years, and in August will fulfil the 35. It keeps on being a footballer of elite and will be it by at least other two season more, although it also is true that already goes going in in a moment in which it suits to take care his minutes. Precisely this would be what would offer this new attacker that ficharía the Barça, as long as they give the conditions.

The another possibility with the exit of Depay is that the club finish deciding keep the current staff, where has five forwards, and simply adapt the agreements of Araújo, Balde and Gavi with the 'fair play' generated with the exit of Memphis. The Barça will receive at least 3 millions and will save almost the same quantity of the index card of the Dutch, by what is an option more than valid.
