Barcelona's next number 9

[FinBarcelonafan]

Actually quite curious who starts at 9 vs PSG, Lewa or Ferran. Considering Rashford and Lamine probably get the nod wide.

Anyway, it's good to have competition at 9. Both are fit and we will see who the manager prefers.

I would start with Ferran. Let him run off his legs and soften them up. Lewy collects the late goals coming in sixty. I think today Lewy lacks abit that intensity for the start of the game.

Ferran can continue playing wing or something.

How much Lewa has worked out is up for debate.

He has scored goals but has it been worth that FFP space during his time at club and then having no real ability to reduce FFP through extension etc.

Kane should stay in Germany anyway.

More or less gauranteed League title and cups to add to a bare resume and is the player their attack is built for.

Repeat of Lewy? Lewy did work out..

What is Kane's buyout next summer ? I think it's something reasonable

Edit:

According to BILD, there is a £57 million ($77m) clause in Kane's contract that can be triggered in the summer of 2026.

It was reported a 60M€ that has to be triggered in January but the transfer occurs in the summer.
Leaves Bayern a fairly good profit and time to prepare for a replacement.

 

[JamDav1982]

That is a bizarre clause.

What teams would want to pay that much for a player in another 6 months?

And it leaves sour taste for Bayern if know he is not wanting to be there but still have to play him.

 

[Porque]

We currently have a manager who can get the most out of goalscorers in an attacking system.

Get a striker who fits the profile he wants and has the mental strength to succeed at a big club.

If Flick wants Guirassy and Deco concurs, then go for him.

EDIT

Didn't actually realsie Guirassy was 29 when I posted that. Thought he was 26.

Still point remains, Flick has proven he will get the most out of what attacking players we provide for him.

Robert Lewandowski

He's out of contract in summer 2026.

Have the feeling it will be Vlahovic as his contract ends after this season. Bayern wants him also i read.

That will depend on his salary demand. Right now Juventus pays him 12m net. There is no way Barca will pay him 24m gross per year. He would earn on Lamine's level and he's not half the player for it. But that's what he's earning with Juventus now and according to reports, he has no intention to lower his salary, that's why he isn't leaving Juventus despite having not much playing time. When he sits out his contract, he'll be a free agent and if he goes after the money, he will never choose Barca. English teams will offer him more than we would.

Damn he gets a lot considering he isnt even in starting 11. Well, then he will go to Chelsea

Yes, Juventus was insane paying a 80m fee in addition to offering him this 12m net contract. He'll never get close to that amount again, so he'll sit it out.

 

[Raketa10]

Alvarez all the way!!! Vlahovic???? Be serious! This guy is nowhere near the required level. Stay far away from him.
The only player who would be a fantastic solution except Alvarez is Kane. However, there is no way Bayern will let him go.

 

[khaled_a_d]

I would take Torres over Vlahovic.

He is improving this year but it is his contract year. So, fuck no

How can anyone even consider him? He is even not good enough for this average Juventus team and has a toxic personality.

 

[TheStig]

That's how low the standards in modern football are, someone like Vlahović is maybe top 15 strikers itw lol

Yeah if he scores goals in next few months could well be.

Said same a couple weeks back.
