After Adama Traore returned to Wolverhampton Wanderers after the end of his loan spell, Barcelona haven't given his shirt number (11) to anyone yet. Lewandowski wore the number 11 shirt briefly early on into his international career with Poland before switching to No. 9. Given his playing style, the latter suits Lewandowski perfectly well as he's a pure striker; the ultimate penalty-box poacher who scores a ton of goals.

Lewandowski s arrival at Barcelona complicates things for Aubameyang

While Lewandowski's signing represents a coup for the Catalans, his arrival complicates matters for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Gabonese international joined the side in January and struck 13 goals in all competitions, the joint-most alongside Depay. He was supposed to become their main striker in the 2022-23 season but his role has come under question after the Polish ace's arrival. Back in the 2013-14 season, Jurgen Klopp played both strikers upfront at Borussia Dortmund, something which Xavi could replicate. Aubameyang also has some experience of playing out wide at Arsenal as Mikel Arteta shunted him out to the wings to accommodate Alexandre Lacazette. However, that would create competition for places as Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres and Depay can operate from wide positions too. Barcelona also have Ousmane Dembele and Raphinha in the attacking department. Barca play Inter Miami in a friendly on Tuesday.
