Robert Lewandowski’s performance has plummeted in recent weeks, and at FC Barcelona, they’re starting to consider the possibility of finding him a replacement in January. In this scenario, many agents are putting their forwards’ names on the table, and one that is very appealing has come from Paris. We’re talking about Kolo Muani, striker for PSG.
On the list of possible additions to strengthen the team in winter, Barça has the name of Kolo Muani. He’s a forward profile that fits the needs and would accept coming as an experienced replacement for Robert Lewandowski. The main problem lies in the financial limitations the Catalan team is facing to be able to bring him in.
Kolo Muani’s possible arrival is an alternative that is very appealing to Barça, but it seems highly complicated. If he could come on loan, PSG’s request is clear: get rid of his entire salary. In the culer team, he would be one of the highest-paid in the team, something that makes his hypothetical incorporation very, very complicated for Joan Laporta.
Kolo Muani, Option for Barça: Robert Lewandowski is No Longer Untouchable
The level of demand at Barça is brutal. Not even leading the Pichichi table and vying for the Golden Boot, Robert Lewandowski can live peacefully. He’s in the crosshairs of the secretariat and the coaching staff. That, despite having Flick as a coach at Bayern, and few coaches know him better than he does.
It doesn’t matter that he’s the Pichichi and has a five-goal lead over the second place, which is his teammate Raphinha. It also doesn’t matter that he’s scored twice as many goals as Mbappé and Vinícius (16 to 8). Not even that he’s the top European scorer and leads the Golden Boot standings with 32 points, 4 more than Harry Kane and Alex Tamn, and 5 more than the trending forward, Viktor Gyökeres.
He’s in the crosshairs. Two consecutive home games without scoring give rise to questioning Spain and Europe’s best scorer, as if other center forwards were better and scored more.
The option of Kolo Muani is appealing, but the reality is that, at the moment, it seems highly complicated for there to be any movements of ins and outs at Barça.
