Lewandowski? Barcelona star Pedri wants a different goal machine in attack. Haaland as a second choice
Although Robert Lewandowski scores goals at Barcelona, he is not as productive as he was at Bayern Munich. After all, he’s not the youngest anymore either, so it’s no wonder that there is talk about who will replace him. His teammate Pedri is quite clear on who it should be.

Barcelona won the league title last season and it was a big deal. Especially because of the situation the famous club is in because of its financial problems. One of the driving forces was Robert Lewandowski, who scored 32 competitive goals in his first season in Catalonia.
He had previously surpassed a similar mark quite handily in only one Bundesliga season. Along with other competitions, he was able to produce a higher number of goals per season. That is why, even during his first year in Catalonia, there were doubts about how beneficial his transfer was.
Even this year, the Polish sharpshooter has come under criticism now and then. He burns some chances, when he doesn’t score, he doesn’t contribute that much to Barcelona’s game. Even at Bayern, he is kind of forgotten thanks to Harry Kane.
However, despite all this, the sharpshooter scored 9 competitive goals for Barcelona in the first half of the season, to which he added 5 assists.
But what’s next? This is, of course, a question that must be addressed not only by the club’s management. Even Lewandowski’s teammates are thinking about it. For example, the talented youngster Pedri, who, unlike the Pole, has his whole career ahead of him.
So Pedri was asked by Twitch streamer Ibai Llanos who he thought could one day replace the Bayern Munich legend in attack.
Who does Pedri want as a replacement for Lewandowski?
Not an easy question, not an easy answer. Robert Lewandowski is, after all, one of the best strikers of his generation. But he is now 35 years old and age will not stop him, even though he is under contract in Catalonia until the summer of 2026.
Pedri, however, was able to answer. “I would sign Lionel Messi if he was 19 or 22, but otherwise I would want Erling Haaland at Barcelona. He’s a cyborg, he scores a lot of goals,” Goal quotes the young star.
However, he meant no ill will towards his Polish teammate. “After all, Robert won’t be playing here until he’s 60,” explains Pedri.
