Barcelona struggles to find Lewandowski replacement after departures

Barcelona sporting director Deco addressed the club's challenges in replacing Robert Lewandowski, who left after his contract expired. Deco stated that while the additions of Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi can help fill the void left by Ferran Torres, finding a suitable forward to replace Lewandowski will be significantly more difficult. The need for a natural goal-scorer is emphasized, as Deco acknowledged the historical impact Lewandowski had at the club and mentioned that internal solutions may be explored. Barcelona will aim to make necessary moves to reinforce the attacking options ahead of the season.
