Barcelona’s plan to reinforce the attack as Lewandowski’s future remains uncertain
Barcelona is outlining its sporting project away from the presidential campaign noise, prioritizing a top attacker for the next season.
The club is pursuing a pure striker in case Lewandowski departs, a scenario not yet decided but considered possible.
Rashford deal reportedly close; alternatives kept in view
Barcelona has already wrapped up most terms to sign Marcus Rashford on a permanent basis from Manchester United for about 30 million euros, with a buy option included in the loan arrangement and a revised salary to fit La Liga’s wage cap.
According to Marca, all financial and contractual details are settled; the final call waits for the club’s presidential election outcome.
Meanwhile, Barcelona is also monitoring alternatives, notably Abdessamad Zaalzouli from Real Betis, who would come with a 20% future sell-on clause, offering an economical option should funds be needed for a world-class striker.
If the budget allows, the Moroccan’s profile could rise to the top as the club weighs a larger investment.
Deco keeps a careful eye on Rashford’s recent form; a Laporta victory could push the signing through in the summer window.
Punchline 1: If Barcelona’s transfer saga were a menu, this would be tapas—small bites, big hopes, and a bill that keeps growing.
Punchline 2: And remember, in football as in life, the only thing more unpredictable than a transfer saga is my Wi‑Fi during a handshake deal.
