Barça Knows That, Sooner or Later, They Will Have to Secure the Signing of a New Forward. Lewandowski has little time left and will leave the club in 2026, coinciding with the end of his contract. Finding a replacement has become one of the priorities for the next market, considering many possibilities. Until now, no one had mentioned him, but from Italy, his name has been put forward: Moise Kean.
Moise Kean Breaks Out and Could End Up at Barça
La Gazzetta dello Sport has surprised with its latest information, indicating that Barcelona's interest in Moise Kean is "strong". After having played for several top-level teams, the forward has broken out this season at Fiorentina at 25 years old... scoring 21 goals and 3 assists. He is tied there until 2029, with a release clause that makes him a bargain: €52 million.
In this regard, Fiorentina has no intention of parting with Moise Kean, referring to this clause. Barça already knows that if they want him, they will have to pay this price, with Arsenal, Tottenham, or Newcastle also interested. It won't be easy, although the interest is firm and very appealing in the offices of Spotify Camp Nou.
Barça Won't Do Anything Crazy
In any case, the belief that continues to grow at FC Barcelona is that no crazy actions should be taken. The squad is large, and there is also the youth academy. It is true that Lewandowski has little time left, but this season he has proven to still be one of the best scorers in Europe. Moreover, the great performance of Ferran Torres from the bench makes Barça consider very carefully what their target will be.
Asked about Madrid-Barcelona, at Barça, they do not deny this interest in Moise Kean, although they assure that "he is not a priority". The best positioned to strengthen the forward line would be the Swede Alexander Isak from Newcastle. The problem is that they ask for a lot of money, and there isn't much available in the culers' coffers.
Moise Kean has been put forward as a low-cost alternative that could fulfill the role. Despite this, the reality is that he wouldn't be seen as a real replacement for Lewandowski.
