FC Barcelona has made a key decision in its sports planning: Viktor Gyokeres and Alexander Isak are not part of the plans to strengthen the forward line. Deco, the club's sporting director, has chosen to stick with Robert Lewandowski, who will remain the offensive reference of the team under the command of Hansi Flick.
The Catalan club has executed the option to extend the contract of the Polish forward before the necessary number of games was fulfilled. With this move, Barcelona sends a clear message to both the player and the market: there will be no significant investments in the '9' position this summer.
Gyokeres and Isak, who had been offered to the club, will be ruled out, despite the possibility of negotiating a favorable price for the Swede's incorporation. However, the commitment to Lewandowski is strong, and depending on his performance in the upcoming season, his contract could even be extended until 2027.
The signing would be Luis Diaz, although it will be challenging
Furthermore, the sports management does not contemplate the arrival of a complementary striker at no cost. In this regard, the option of incorporating Jonathan David was considered, who was willing to wait for Barcelona, but the lack of definitive interest from the Blaugranas will lead him to the Premier League.
According to reports from Sport, the focus of investment is on other positions, specifically on a winger to reinforce the attack down the left flank. In this context, Luis Diaz is the primary target, although his high price complicates the operation. With this scenario, Barça will continue to rely on Lewandowski, Ferran Torres, and Dani Olmo as their main offensive options for the next season.
