I dont see Lewa leaving this summer. No team in their right mind would want a 38-year-old on high wages.
Lewa to Saudis or MLSn is also not happening, as most players see them as a retirement league.
Our only option is if there is genuine interest from clubs for Ferran, we should really pressure him to take it. Whatever we get 30- 40- 50m, use it to get a good striker.
We have to act shrewdly. No way we are going to the UCL finals with 38 year old Lewa as our main striker.
Lewa is leaving this or next year anyway, and your solution is to get rid of the guy, who finally hit his stride in this team and is the only viable replacement for him right now? We're not getting a top striker for 50M, which is the max we would get for Ferran. If the club are determined to get in a LW as our big signing this summer, the only solution is to wait and pull up our striker funds for 2026 (Isak is staying at Newcastle btw, so he'll still be available then, or Alvarez after another trophyless year with Atletico might be more inclined to start looking elsewhere) and go big then, if we can't get Lewa to leave now. And just get someone on loan until then to help Lewa this season, then both go and we go big on a striker next summer. But chasing Isak/Alvarez is probably a 100M+ fee we're talking about, so it can't be this summer, if we go down that route.
Or go with a cheaper, developmental option in Sesko this summer, since he will be leaving Leipzig and be available now. If only we wouldn't be hell bent on spending 60M+ on a LW alone, we could maybe even get both a LW and striker this summer, which is an option/road we could take, but that would require abandoning this dumb Diaz obsession, and probably also not going for either Nico/Leao, but actually scout, find the right profile of a winger for a fraction of the price instead of looking at big names (and big prices), and also take a compromise on the striker, abandoning all hopes for an Isak/Alvarez big name there too.
It's all about priorities, and what Flick thinks we need most asap, and what can wait for another year.
