Milan also keen: Barça set sights on Lewandowski’s successor | OneFootball

Robert Lewandowski's contract with FC Barcelona expires next summer. Even if the option for another year in Catalonia is exercised, it is clear that the 37-year-old's future with Blaugrana will not last much longer. Now, Barça is said to have set its sights on a new successor.

According to 'Mundo Deportivo', the reigning Spanish champion has taken notice of Joaquín Panichelli. The 23-year-old is currently making waves in France with Racing Strasbourg.

There, the Argentine has already scored nine times in ten Ligue 1 matches. This impressive record has also caught the attention of other top teams. The 'Gazzetta dello Sport' reports that AC Milan is also interested in the rising star.

Bad news for the notoriously cash-strapped Barça: it would likely be an expensive endeavor.

On 'transfermarkt.de', Panichelli's market value is estimated at 13 million euros - with a steep upward trend. Having just moved to Alsace last summer, the 1.90-meter-tall player also has a valid contract until 2030.
