"With Robert Lewandowski's contract expiring at the end of the season, FC Barcelona are already planning for the future beyond the veteran striker. As reported earlier today, the Catalans consider the signing of a top-quality centre-forward economically viable as long as a couple of key conditions are met. A list of possible targets has also been prepared by the Barcelona sporting department, with Julian Alvarez being the most-liked option."
"However, according to Mundo Deportivo, Manchester City's goalscoring phenom, Erling Haaland, is considered an 'impossible dream' by Barcelona. It is no secret that the Norwegian striker is greatly admired at the Catalan club, with president Joan Laporta exploring the idea of signing him in 2022, before he ended up at Manchester City. Previous reports have suggested that Laporta still continues to view the prolific striker as his dream target to take over from Lewandowski."
With Robert Lewandowski's contract expiring at season's end, FC Barcelona are planning a successor and consider signing a top-quality centre-forward viable if certain conditions are met. The sporting department prepared a shortlist with Julian Álvarez emerging as the most-favoured option. Erling Haaland remains admired but is deemed an 'impossible dream' because of his new Manchester City contract running until 2034. Club president Joan Laporta previously explored signing Haaland in 2022 and maintains a good relationship with Haaland's agent, Rafaela Pimenta. Other potential targets include Harry Kane, Victor Osimhen, and Serhou Guirassy, while Etta Eyong is seen as a low-cost, long-term option for 2026.
