Barcelona has managed to recover something that seemed lost just a few years ago. Becoming a desired destination again for Europe's top strikers. The rise of Lamine Yamal and the maturity of Pedri González have changed the landscape.
The excitement of playing alongside them is already moving strings in the offices of the blaugrana sporting management.
Replacing Robert Lewandowski is a strategic issue for the club. The Polish player's age makes it necessary to design a transition in the attack, and along that path, several unexpected doors have opened. Some of them are among the most ambitious that Barcelona fans could dream of.
Deco moves pieces quietly
Barcelona's sporting director, Deco, has started discreet talks with three of the most sought-after strikers on the planet. These are Julián Álvarez, Harry Kane, and Erling Haaland.
According to MB, all three footballers have shown a willingness to listen to the blaugrana proposal.
This isn't just a simple inquiry, but a well-defined strategy. Deco understands that the new project, with Lamine and Pedri as emblems, must be surrounded by a world-class goalscorer. The call from Camp Nou, now undergoing renovations, is once again ringing loudly thanks to that generational duo dazzling all of Europe.
Kane, the most realistic option
Within this trio of candidates, Harry Kane appears as the most accessible alternative. The Englishman has already shown his fondness for Barcelona. He isn't ruling out following in Lewandowski's footsteps, whom he replaced at Allianz Arena.
His contract opens a window of opportunity for 2026, and the player's pressure could bring his departure forward at an affordable price.
Deco believes Kane is a piece that fits both Hansi Flick's style and the club's immediate future. A profile with goals, experience, and leadership to accompany the young blaugrana talents.
Julián Álvarez, City's hidden gem
The "Spider" is another card on the table. Julián Álvarez has shown he can shine even in Haaland's shadow at Manchester City.
Simeone values him, but the player is looking for a place where he can be the absolute protagonist and win titles. That's where Barcelona comes into play.
The possibility of forming a partnership with Lamine Yamal and Pedri is attractive. Julián sees Camp Nou as a perfect place to showcase his football and establish himself as an offensive reference. Deco already knows the player would listen carefully to a formal offer.
Haaland, the impossible dream
Erling Haaland's name needs no introduction. The Norwegian is the most dominant striker today, and signing him would be a statement. Although Barcelona is aware of the financial difficulty involved, Deco has wanted to gauge his willingness.
Haaland isn't closing the door to any future scenario. In fact, the idea of sharing a locker room with Lamine and Pedri is something that appeals to him. However, the operation would depend on multiple external factors, including City's interests and the astronomical figures surrounding him.
Lamine and Pedri, the key to everything
What unites these three goal-scoring giants is the same reason: the desire to share a project with Lamine Yamal and Pedri. The freshness of the winger and the vision of the Canary Islander have become a magnet for international stars. Barcelona is once again inspiring excitement, and it's doing so through the talent of its new guard.
