Although Lewandowski has reached an agreement with Barcelona to stay with Barcelona until the end of the season or one more season. But Barcelona must move quickly to find a replacement, Barcelona is currently eyeing Newcastle United striker, Alexander Isak, and Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP is a more affordable option with a cheaper transfer value.
Barcelona management will not take the risk too quickly to find a replacement for Lewandowski in a financial condition like this. As long as Lewandowski can still be relied on, Barcelona management will look for a replacement player with an easier option such as a player who has free agent status. And in my opinion if Barcelona is eyeing Alexander Isak, it is just a rumor. On the one hand, Newcastle will not release the player at a cheap price and while Newcastle currently still needs the player. So at this time Barcelona can only survive with the existing players and look for a replacement player slowly without rushing which can put more pressure on Barcelona's finances.
Lewandowski contract extension also breaks every issue that is circulating if he will be recruited by the Arab team next season, although currently the two parties are only doing a 1-year extension but I think it is a wise move and also mutually beneficial, Barcelona are currently in a bad financial condition and it may be difficult for them to find a new striker, So that with the survival of Lewandowski in the squad, of course, he will still keep their attacking line dangerous and sharp, while for Lewandowski, it is undeniable that although he still has extraordinary sharpness, to play in other big European clubs will certainly be difficult for him to remember his age which has reached 36 years at this time, especially so far he has also emphasized that he still wants to play in Europe and luckily for him Barcelona still wants to making him the main striker at the moment.
