LaLiga giants Barcelona have reportedly found the ideal replacement for veteran striker Robert Lewandowski.

Robert Lewandowski is back to his goal-scoring best at Barcelona, thanks to new manager Hansi Flick, and any talk of a new striker could be baffling to the average fan.

However, with the Polish striker turning 37 soon, Barcelona need an elite-level replacement.

The man linked with a move to the Camp Nou is Sporting CP goal machine, Viktor Gyokeres.

The Swedish striker has been on fire, netting 23 goals in just 18 matches this season, and attracting attention from Europe's biggest clubs.

According to SPORT, Barcelona see Gyokeres as the perfect replacement for Lewandowski. And for good reason - his market value is €70m (via Transfermarkt), €5m less than Victor Osimhen, another top-tier striker potentially available next summer.

The 26-year-old would be an excellent buy for Barcelona. His outstanding ability to bury chances, combined with his relatively affordable price tag, makes him an attractive option.

Manchester United are also rumoured to be interested in the striker and they could look to reunite him with Ruben Amorim, who left Spor
