Barcelona Rues Not Signing Ex Striker As Lewandowski’s Poor Form Continues

• Barcelona are worried about Robert Lewandowski’s slump in form
• The Poland forward has managed eight La Liga goals this season
• Lewandowski joined Barcelona in 2022 and won La Liga in his first season

Robert Lewandowski’s poor form this season has become a significant source of concern for the Barcelona hierarchy following the striker’s struggles in front of goal.

The Poland forward, who finished as La Liga’s top scorer last season ahead of Karim Benzema, has struggled to replicate that form this term, managing just eight goals in La Liga.

Lewandowski has also scored just once in the UEFA Champions League, a form that has brought panic to Barcelona as the Catalan club now regrets not keeping Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Barca News Network reports.

Aubameyang came to Camp Nou in January 2022 for free after terminating his contract with Arsenal, and his experience and skills were essential in helping Barcelona end the 2022-23 season in a dignified manner.
