As Robert Lewandowski nears the end of his remarkable career, FC Barcelona faces a critical decision: who will step into the role of the club’s next top striker? With financial constraints, squad changes, and a desire to reclaim dominance in European football, choosing the right successor involves more than just finding a prolific goal-scorer; it’s about laying the groundwork for the future. Here’s a closer look at some of the top candidates to take over from the Polish star at Camp Nou:
- Jonathan David (Lille OSC)
Age: 24
Contract Expiry: June 2025
2024–25 Stats: 23 goals, 10 assists in 40 appearances
Why He’s a Strong Option: Jonathan David has long been on Barcelona’s radar, and with his contract nearing its end, the Canadian forward might be available on a free transfer. His speed, sharp positioning, and ability to link play make him an excellent fit for Barcelona’s evolving tactical style.
Pros: Affordable due to contract expiration
Cons: Consistency issues at times…
