"With less than six months left on his contract at FC Barcelona, Robert Lewandowski appears to be headed for the exit doors in the summer. While it has not entirely been ruled out that the 37-year-old striker could be given a one-year extension, as things stand, everything points to his departure as a free agent at the end of the season. Barcelona step up replacement hunt As such, ESPN now reports that Barcelona have intensified their efforts to find a replacement for Lewandowski for the summer transfer window."
"Alvarez has long been on the radars of the Blaugrana, with the club having tracked him from his days at River Plate, before he moved to Manchester City and later to Atletico Madrid. The 25-year-old World Cup winner is seen as the 'dream' target by Barça president Joan Laporta, even though there are expected to be a lot of complications in the deal. For starters, Atletico Madrid will demand a transfer fee well in excess of €100 million for their ace striker."
Robert Lewandowski has under six months left on his Barcelona contract and is likely to depart as a free agent at season's end, though a one-year extension remains a remote possibility. Barcelona have intensified efforts to sign a replacement for the summer transfer window. Julián Álvarez and Dušan Vlahović are the club's top targets. Álvarez is viewed as a dream signing by president Joan Laporta but would command a transfer fee well over €100 million and face competition from clubs like Arsenal. Vlahović would be a low-cost option, becoming a free agent on 30 June, despite a current groin injury.
