Robert Lewandowski’s Sacrifice for Barcelona

By db-admin

DBasia.news – Robert Lewandowski will soon complete his transfer process from Bayern Munich to Barcelona. But it turns out he had to sacrifice for all of this.

The issue of Robert Lewandowski’ transfer has been circulating since a few weeks ago. The striker is reportedly already feeling that his career at Bayern is reaching the finish line. Specifically, Lewandowski chose Barcelona as his next destination.

However, that does not mean the striker’s journey to Camp Nou would be smooth. Bayern did not freely let Lewandowski head to Barcelona. Die Roten only succumbed after obtaining Sadio Mane as a substitute.

Finally, the two teams agreed on a transfer value of 42.5 million pounds. The 33-year-old striker ended an eight-year journey in Bavaria.

Interestingly, to be able to join Barcelona, ​​Lewandowski had to be willing to cut his salary. If previously Lewandowski earned a net wage of 200 thousand pounds per week, this time he receives 150 thousand pounds per week.

That way, Lewandowski’s salary is still lower than a number of players who are struggling to shine in the Premier League. For example, Anthony Martial, who earns 250,000 pound per week for Manchester United. Meanwhile, Tanguy Ndombele receives 200,000 pounds per week from Tottenham Hotspur.

The arrival of Robert Lewandowski further puts Barcelona as one of the busiest LaLiga clubs in the transfer market this summer.

Previously, Barcelona had signed Andreas Christensen, Franck Kessie, and Raphinha. Of the three names, Raphinha made Barca spend for transfer fees.

Barcelona wont be expected to stop activity in the transfer market. This time, Barcelona want to strengthen the defense. Reportedly, Jules Kunde is the most wanted player.
