Mercato works against BarcelonaBarcelona face an unusual attacking dilemma as the new season approaches. The out-and-out striker position has become one of the biggest question marks at the Catalan club, with Robert Lewandowski gone, Marcus Rashford not staying on and Ferran Torres edging closer to a move to Paris Saint-Germain.
Lewandowski walked away the moment his contract expired, robbing the team of one of its most prominent attacking weapons and its most reliable finisher. The club then failed to renew Rashford’s loan or strike a deal with Manchester United to buy out his contract, deepening the crisis before a ball had been kicked.
The blows kept coming. Ferran Torres, who deputised for Lewandowski in recent seasons, is now pushing to leave for a fresh challenge at Paris Saint-Germain. Negotiations between the two clubs are progressing, and the deal is into its final metres.
