Lewandowski s departure is certain, and the best successor has emerged, with a price/performance ratio that far exceeds that of Alvarez.

There are various signs that Barcelona will not renew Lewandowski's contract, and the latter will leave the team freely at the end of the season.

According to the latest report from "Daily Sports", Barcelona's decision not to renew Lewandowski's contract has become very clear. Quite simply, Lewandowski is really old. His age, the fact that his performance has declined, and his ability to pressure opponents with sufficient intensity like other teammates have made Barcelona afraid to renew his contract.

Although Lewandowski still has a stable output of 4 goals in 9 games this season, and the automatic renewal clause of 55% appearance rate in the contract has been reached, Barcelona sports director Deco directly rejected his team's salary reduction and renewal plan. This attitude clearly sends a signal: Camp Nou's No. 9 jersey is about to usher in a new owner.

It is reported that finding a replacement for Lewandowski has been listed as Barcelona's top target for signings next season. Previously, some people believed that Alvarez would become the best replacement for Lewandowski, but considering the cost-effectiveness, the club is more willing to introduce the 21-year-old Cameroon forward Ayon, who is currently shining in Levante.

This new star, known as the "New Eto'o" by fans, has delivered an amazing report card this season: 4 goals and 1 assist in 5 games, directly involved in 5 goals, and his offensive efficiency is second only to Mbappe and Alvarez. What's even more rare is that he is very comprehensive: with a height of 1.81 meters and a weight of 75 kilograms, he has a strong physique and explosive power. He can not only grab headers in the penalty area, but also break through the defense with skillful dribbling. He can play both the center and winger positions. From 19 goals in 29 games in La Liga to the continuous explosion in La Liga, Ayon's growth trajectory is clearly visible, and the 30 million euros release clause allowed Barcelona to see the feasibility of signing him.

Barcelona's introduction of Eyon can not only fill the vacancy left by Lewandowski, but also form a healthy competition with Ferran Torres and inject youthful vitality into the forward line. This is in perfect line with the team's youth transformation strategy. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

As for Lewandowski’s future? It is still unclear. There is a high probability that Lewandowski will not retire immediately, but will continue his career. Considering that he has already settled in Catalonia, it means that he may choose a place closer to Barcelona. Previously, although there were rumors that Barcelona was trying to renew his contract and then transfer to an Arab country, the feasibility of this plan was extremely low. Finally, I hope that Lewandowski will continue to shine in the twilight years of his career and bring surprises to the fans.
