The sporting director of Barcelona, **Deku**, responded to a question regarding how the team could replace central forward **Robert Lewandowski**. Deku emphasized that the Catalan club could rely on its internal resources for this. The Polish striker is 36 years old, and his contract with Barcelona runs until the summer of 2026.

“We have players who can take on this role. For instance, Ferran and Dani Olmo are both capable of playing as a ‘false nine.’ Therefore, we have internal options that can help us cope with the potential loss of Robert, should that happen. However, it’s important to note that currently, only one team prominently features a traditional central striker — that is Inter. Both Arsenal and PSG do not have one,” Deku’s statements were cited by Mundo Deportivo.
