Robert Lewandowski is excelling at Barcelona with 35 goals and 3 assists in 40 matches, but his success heavily relies on Raphinha. The Brazilian winger, with 27 goals and 20 assists in 47 matches, has received two major offers, €100M from Manchester City and €100M over four years from Saudi Arabia, potentially disrupting Barça attacking force.
For the past few seasons, Robert Lewandowski has been a key figure for FC Barcelona, consistently delivering goals and leading the attack. However, his success is closely linked to his teammates, particularly Raphinha, who has been instrumental in providing assists. This season, Lewandowski has scored 35 goals and provided 3 assists in 40 matches, keeping him in the race for the Pichichi. Despite his strong numbers, his performance has slightly declined due to age, increasing his reliance on key playmakers like Raphinha.
Now, Barcelona faces uncertainty as Raphinha has received two major offers—one from Manchester City, willing to pay €100 million for him, and another from Saudi Arabia, offering €100 million over four years. The Brazilian has been in top form, scoring 27 goals and providing 20 assists in 47 matches. His departure could significantly impact Lewandowski and Barcelona’s attacking power.
Although Raphinha is happy at Barcelona, the club must navigate potential transfer decisions that could affect their squad balance. With Lewandowski’s contract running until 2026, the team also lacks a clear successor for him. As Barcelona regains form after difficult years, these transfer decisions will shape their future competitiveness in domestic and European competitions.
