Barcelona does not intend to pay more than €35 million for Robert Lewandowski, know Mundo Deportivo† The Bayern Munich attacker has been in the spotlight of the Catalan superpower for some time. Barca hopes to schedule a meeting with club management in the coming days of the Rekordmeister to discuss the contract situation. The intention is to take over the Polish striker for about thirty million euros, as the Pole still has a modest contract until next summer.
Attracting Lewandowski is the top priority for Barcelona’s club management. The club has determined that there is a need for a player to guarantee figures after the departure of Lionel Messi. In order to be able to participate again for the prizes, it is very important that a player is attracted who can provide similar figures. Despite Lewandowski turning 34 in August, they are convinced at the Nou Camp that the attack leader is still able to score the necessary goals over the next three years. Since Lewandowski has passed his 30s, he has managed to average more than one goal per game every season.
Spanish media say Barcelona will do everything it can to sign Lewandowski. On the other hand, the Catalan powerhouse has clear limits, as the striker’s contract expires next summer and he is no longer a youngster at 33. In addition, the appalling financial situation does not allow large expenditures, on the contrary. The club does not plan to spend more than 35 million euros and is aiming for an amount of around 30 million. If Bayern refuse to let Lewandowski go or demand more than €30 million, Barcelona are reportedly willing to allocate up to €5 million more.
‘Barcelona will face heavyweight competition in the battle for Lewandowski’
GOAL says Chelsea is a key coastal hijacker in the battle for Robert Lewandowski.
Mundo Deportivo writes that Lewandowski is reinforcing his will to leave for Barcelona by agreeing to a salary cut. Sources close to the negotiations say the striker will have to hand in a net six million euros a year. Lewandowski currently earns 22 million euros gross per year at Bayern. With Lewandowski’s gesture, plus his statements of wanting to leave Bayern, Barcelona counts itself rich. “It is very possible that this was my last game for Bayern. I cannot say with 100 percent certainty, but I will probably leave,” said the Pole after the game against VfL Wolfsburg (2-2).
The German Sports1 already claimed last Saturday that Barcelona had reached a verbal agreement with Lewandowski on a three-year deal. The striker’s figures are staggering. In the 2019-20 season, the counter came to 55 goals in 47 games, last year Lewandowski scored 48 goals in 40 games. He has scored 50 goals in 46 appearances this season. Lewandowski’s achievements have meant that his name has come up frequently in the battle for the Golden Ball in recent years. However, he did not see the individual prize awarded in 2020 due to the corona pandemic. Last year the title went to Lionel Messi.
