Lewandowski on fire, but Barcelona want rid of him and have found a star replacement

La Liga giants prepared to offload striker, despite goal-scoring form

Barcelona are reportedly ready to offload Robert Lewandowski, despite the striker's impressive goal-scoring form since joining the club from Bayern Munich last summer.

The Poland international has scored 23 goals in 25 appearances for Barca, but it is understood that the club are not convinced by his overall contribution to the team.

Lewandowski is said to be unhappy with his role at Camp Nou and is believed to be keen on a move to the Premier League.

Barcelona are thought to be willing to listen to offers for the 34-year-old and have already identified a potential replacement in Manchester City striker Erling Haaland.

Haaland has been in sensational form for City this season, scoring 27 goals in 24 appearances in all competitions.

The Norway international is one of the most sought-after players in world football and would be a major coup for Barcelona if they could sign him.

However, it is understood that City are reluctant to sell Haaland and would demand a huge fee for the 22-year-old.

Barcelona are also said to be interested in signing Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah, who is out of contract at the end of the season.

Salah is one of the best players in the world and would be a major addition to the Barcelona squad.

However, it is understood that Liverpool are keen to keep Salah and are prepared to offer him a new contract.

Barcelona are in a difficult financial situation and it is unclear whether they will be able to afford to sign a big-name replacement for Lewandowski.

The club are also facing a number of other challenges, including the need to reduce their wage bill and improve their performances on the pitch.

It remains to be seen whether Barcelona will be able to offload Lewandowski and sign a suitable replacement.
