Barcelona, Spain: With Robert Lewandowski’s contract set to expire in June 2026, FC Barcelona are already weighing their options for the striker position. Even if the Polish veteran signs an extension, he will turn 38 in August 2026, making long-term planning a priority for the Catalan club.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic has emerged as a possible target. The Serbian international enters the final year of his contract with the Bianconeri and is not expected to renew, paving the way for a free transfer next summer.
Vlahovic, who has scored four goals in his first four matches this season, has been linked with Barça in the past. His potential availability without a transfer fee could make him an attractive option for the Blaugrana, given their ongoing financial constraints.
However, Barcelona are not alone in the chase. Atletico Madrid are also monitoring the situation, while Manchester United could enter the race as they continue to search for stability up front amid Benjamin Sesko’s slow start and Joshua Zirkzee’s inconsistent form.
With Joan Laporta facing a crucial presidential election year, it remains to be seen whether Barça pursue Vlahovic or set their sights on a bigger marquee name to make a political and sporting statement.
