With the mobility that usually characterizes Barça's forwards, it is very likely that Hansi Flick will allow him to alternate this position with Lewandowski and Ferran Torres, the two nines in the squad for 25/26.

In fact, in his loan to Aston Villa at the beginning of the year, this was the role that Unai Emery mostly assigned him. In Birmingham he scored 4 goals and 6 assists in 17 official matches.
