Barcelona face new season with no recognised striker after double exit

Barcelona start 2026-27 without an established striker after Lewandowski left on a free and Torres joined PSG for €50m. A €100m bid for Atlético's Julián Álvarez was rejected; their CEO said they would not sell "even for 200 million euros." Hansi Flick must improvise — Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha and new arrivals Gordon and Adeyemi are the options, none a traditional number nine.
