Robert Lewandowski has lost his magic in recent months, and has ceased to be that lethal and regular goalscorer who guaranteed more than 40 goals per season.
Although he started very strongly in his time with Barça, this 2023 has meant hell for the ‘9’, among the physical and performance problems he has experienced, and which have caused him to move away from his best version . Right now, he’s not even considered one of the best batters on the planet.
Because Erling Braut Haaland , Harry Kane and even Julián Álvarez , Victor Boniface or Dusan Vlahovic have been much more successful in front of goal. At Camp Nou they are deeply concerned about the Pole, and Joan Laporta is confident that he can react and return to being his usual self. Otherwise, they will consider selling it in June, in order to obtain income and solve part of the financial problems they have.
In this way, they would get rid of the higher salary of the vestido, and they could recover the investment they made just over 12 months ago for the winner of ‘The Best’ award in the year 2020. And there are already two candidates to become in the successor of the former Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich or Lech Poznan. The first is Vitor Roque, for whom they have made a very important bet , being a personal recommendation of Deco.
Atlético Paranaense paid 30 million fixed and 30 million euros for the jewel of only 18 years, who is still in his youth. But he is already fully enshrined in the elite, and accumulates some sensational statistics. In Barça they hope that he can land and be registered in January in La Liga, which would give Xavi Hernández more alternatives in the offensive plot. And he will have a good chance to show that he can take care of making Lewandowski forget.
Although he will first have to overcome the process of adapting to a much more demanding competition, as happened at the time with Neymar Júnior.
And the other candidate to fill the huge void that Lewandowski could leave if he leaves Barça is Marc Guiu . In terms of similarities, he is the most similar footballer to the 35-year-old goalscorer. And he has already been able to make his debut under Xavi, scoring after a few seconds of entering the field of play, achieving victory against Athletic Club de Bilbao.
In the Under 17 World Cup he also marvelled, and Laporta and Deco hope he can exploit his full potential and become a world star.
