Although Lewandowski possesses great technical skills, the player is no longer able to adapt to Barcelona’s style of play, especially with regard to the high pressing, which is one of the main foundations of the coach’s philosophy.
The situation began to change last month, as Lewandowski’s performances declined significantly. It became clear that the striker was struggling to maintain the physical and technical level required by Flick’s style.
In recent matches, Lewandowski has missed many easy chances and shown clear difficulties in leading Barcelona’s attack. This drop in form has caused great concern within the technical staff, as well as with the club’s management, especially president Joan Laporta.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper “El Nacional”, Robert Lewandowski is not unfamiliar with Barcelona’s movements in the transfer market, as the Polish striker, one of the team’s most prominent players, has been informed about the ongoing negotiations between the Catalan club and Jonathan David, the talented striker from Lille, whose contract expires next summer.
The potential arrival of Jonathan David is not just an ordinary transfer. According to inside sources, Barcelona sees the Canadian forward as an ideal option to strengthen their attack next season, given his young age, goal-scoring ability, and potential adaptability to the team’s style of play.
Although Lewandowski is still considered a key player in the team, the club is planning to sell him next summer and is considering bringing in a replacement who can take his place as a starter.
At 24, Jonathan David has proven himself to be one of the most brilliant strikers in Europe. His ability to move between the lines, his speed, and his effectiveness in front of goal make him a versatile striker who can adapt to any attacking style.
This season, David has continued to shine for Lille, attracting the attention of major clubs. Barcelona hopes to capitalize on the fact that his contract expires in June 2025 to secure the deal without additional costs.
Completing the Jonathan David deal would not only strengthen Barcelona’s attack but also help ease financial pressures, as he would arrive as a free agent. At a time when the club continues to struggle to balance its books, this transfer is considered a market opportunity that could prove decisive.
Next summer is set to be a hot transfer window at Camp Nou, and the arrival of Jonathan David could be a major turning point in the club’s future plans. Meanwhile, Lewandowski knows that his departure is imminent.
