Barça has already found the new Robert Lewandowski

Robert Lewandowski's future is once again one of the main topics of conversation around FC Barcelona. The Polish footballer, who has scored more than 100 goals wearing the blaugrana jersey, will see his contract expire this season and everything suggests that he won't renew it. At 37 years old, his time in the Catalan city is coming to an end and the club is already thinking about his replacement.

Robert Lewandowski faces reality

In recent months, Robert Lewandowski himself has hinted that his prominence in the team will gradually decrease. At the beginning of the season, he stated that he wasn't going to play as many minutes as before, a phrase that many interpreted as an early farewell. Although he remains a reference in the locker room, his role has changed and his departure seems inevitable.

Barça, aware of this, is already working to find a new center forward who can take over with guarantees. The first option is to trust Ferran Torres, his natural replacement. Meanwhile, names like Julián Álvarez are also being considered by Flick, but the chosen one could come from La Masia.

Toni Fernández could be the new Robert Lewandowski

To everyone's surprise, Lewandowski's possible heir is already at home. Toni Fernández, one of the most promising gems of Barça's youth soccer, started this afternoon against Girona. The young attacking midfielder played as a "9" by direct decision of Flick, who fully trusts his talent and versatility.

Toni Fernández isn't a typical goal scorer, but a much more dynamic player, able to link up and provide support between the lines. His style is reminiscent of a false nine, a role widely used during Guardiola's golden era at Camp Nou.

During the first half against Girona, Toni Fernández showed great personality and a reading of the game unusual for his age. He moved intelligently, creating space for the wingers and facilitating ball circulation. Although he didn't score, his performance made it clear that he can be a real alternative for the team's immediate future.

It remains to be seen if Flick keeps his bet in the coming matches, but everything suggests that the experiment has convinced everyone. Barça may have found Lewandowski's ideal successor without needing to go to the market. The future of goals at Camp Nou already has a name: Toni Fernández.
