DBasia.news – Rumors of Robert Lewandowski joining Barcelona in the summer have been circulating in the past week. This news was finally clarified by the Blaugrana’s sporting director, Mateu Alemany.
From a number of well-known European media reports, Barcelona and Lewandowski are said to have made a personal agreement. El Barca only had to redeem the Polish striker from Bayern Munich.
Lewandowski’s uncertain future in Munich has also strengthened these rumors. In the summer, his contract with Die Roten will only have one year remaining.
Lewandowski is reportedly ready to ask for permission from Munich officials to let him go to Barcelona. Needing a new challenge was the main reason for his departure.
However, the validity of these rumors is now in doubt. Alemany vehemently denies any such agreement exists.
“We don’t have an agreement with the striker (Lewandowski). It is speculation from the media which is very good to fill the page,” said Alemany as reported by Marca.
Rumors of Lewandowski joining Barcelona does sound strange. There are many reasons that make this challenging to achieve.
Munich certainly won’t let its main striker leave for less. While Barcelona did not have enough funds to make up for it.
Not to mention the problem of salary limits that are increasingly burdensome for Barcelona’s efforts to have Lewandowski. Maybe only a miracle can make the 33-year-old player move to Camp Nou.
In addition, Alemany seemed quite satisfied with Barcelona’s front row. Center forward is not a position that will be strengthened in the transfer market next summer.
“Aubameyang will be our number 9 for next season, no doubt.”
