Deco’s Comments Spark Speculation on Haaland Joining Barca as Lewandowski Thrives Under Hansi Flick
Barcelona has set its sights on Erling Haaland as a potential long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski, following the Polish striker’s remarkable start to the season under manager Hansi Flick. Lewandowski, 36, has already scored 17 goals in 19 appearances, leading Barcelona to a six-point advantage at the top of La Liga and strong performances in the Champions League.
Sporting director Deco recently added fuel to the rumors, commenting, “There are only one or two strikers like our Robert Lewandowski… and Haaland is one of them.” This has prompted speculation that Barcelona is positioning itself to pursue Haaland, currently one of world football’s most lethal finishers, when the time comes to refresh the club’s attack.
Haaland’s prolific record of 75 goals in 77 Premier League appearances makes him a natural candidate, and reports suggest that Haaland, along with his father Alf-Inge, has mapped out his career carefully with a possible move to Barcelona in the cards. Under Flick, Barcelona’s current attacking setup has been impressive, with young stars like Lamine Yamal and Raphinha building strong partnerships with Lewandowski. The club also bolstered its midfield by signing Dani Olmo, who has fit seamlessly into the squad.
As Barcelona considers its future, it also remains interested in adding to its wide options, with Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams reportedly still on their radar. While Williams opted to stay with Bilbao in the summer, Deco hinted that the door remains open for potential future moves.
For now, Barcelona is reaping the rewards of Lewandowski’s form, but the club’s ambitions suggest that Haaland could be the next chapter in their storied history.
