Barca Is Seeking For A Backup Alternative For Robert Lewandowski.

Barcelona was anticipating a quiet winter window, but Memphis Depay’s transfer to Atletico Madrid has forced them to hunt for a new backup attacker. Without a new addition from the club, Xavi will start the second half of the season with one less attacker.

Last winter, Barcelona acquired Ferran Torres, Aubameyang, Adama Traore, and Dani Alves. This is the type of transaction Barcelona is looking at after Traore joined them on loan from Wolves.

They want an inexpensive forward whose club would let him to depart and who would be content to serve as a backup—a challenging task.

So yet, no names have been mentioned. Aubameyang first expressed interest in playing for Barca, but that option was rejected since he cannot register for another team during the same season.

Barcelona made an attempt to acquire Yannick Carrasco, but Atletico refused. Instead, they received a 20 million euro purchase option to close in June.

It’s possible that the club won’t sign any new players, but with the fair play space created by Memphis’ exit, they may focus on signing contracts for Inaki Pena, Araujo, Balde, and Gavi instead.
