‘We should not be obsessed with a No. 9’ - Barcelona in no rush to replace Robert Lewandowski

Robert Lewandowski will celebrate his 37th birthday this summer but Barcelona don’t appear to be targeting a successor in the summer transfer window.

The Poland international has enjoyed a prolific season, scoring 40 goals in all competitions, and has been ably backed up by Ferran Torres.

Deco has now shared his thoughts on the situation and feels Barcelona have plenty of ways to replace Lewandowski at present and don’t need to “obsess” over finding a successor.

“In the squad we have players capable of playing there such as Ferran Torres, who has had a spectacular season, Dani Olmo, as a false ‘9’, Fermín,” he told RAC1.
