Barca's number 9 and backup striker for next season all but confirmed

Barcelona will move heaven and earth to sign Robert Lewandowski this summer, according to multiple reports in Spain.

With Lewandowski speaking publicly about his intention to play for Barca, his move to Camp Nou is almost taken for granted.

Barca assumes that the 33-year-old will be their main striker next season, with Aubameyang serving as a high-quality backup option.

Ansu Fati is another option in that centre-forward role, although Xavi will likely play him on the wings or behind the striker.

Thus, the door is wide open for Martin Braithwaite and Luuk de Jong to leave Camp Nou.
