He would, but I find it doubtful he'd be starting for us as a False 9. Flick will probably persist with Lewandowski in the biggest games until the end of the season while resting/benching him from time to time. In the summer we'll hopefully sign a striker.
He cannot play the role Raphinha plays on the left. So would you rather have him over Lamine or do you think he would accept being a rotation player that would fight for a starting spot vs. Lamine Yamal?
Doubtful.
Besides he negotiated for a buyout clause himself. One he had every intention to use and which he did to join PSG after Barca had invested so much in him from hiring people to wake him up, personal chefs and what not. Xavi was willing to go to war for him as well and he still left. It's like crying over spilt milk.
Not going into the issue why he left, and all that.
Pitch-wise only, we are short of players up top
Yes, his ideal position is the RW Lamine is playing and not CF,
but I was never in favor of the idea of having clear out and out starters and clear benchwarmers.
When players are of similar level it's healthy for the team, the competition, rotation and everything.
In the summer we are supposedly going for a starting LW and a starting CF.
Even with Lewa out, we should be thinking about at least 4, but ideally 5, players of more or less equal quality for 3 positions
