Barça sets a bar for Lewandowski: €60M

As AS has learned, the negotiations with Robert Lewandowski are very well under way. The agreement with the player is absolute, with a contract for three seasons at a rate of nine million clean euros. In fact, his agent, Pini Zahivi, was in Barcelona this Wednesday, not only buying ten Barcelona shirts at an official club store, where he stamped the name of his client on the back, according to the journalist Gerard Romero, but also took advantage of his lightning stay in Barcelona to visit some houses where the still Bayern attacker could possibly take up residence.

from the club, they recognize that they have gone from the deepest pessimism to a recalcitrant optimism, especially thanks to the staging of Robert Lewandowski, that he has planted the bosses of the Bavarian club, to make it clear to them that he will not renew and that he wants to leave this summer. This belligerent attitude of the striker has surprised locals and strangers, forcing Bayern to redirect its initial position, that he was totally intransigent about the possibility of opening any kind of negotiations.

The first to make it clear that there had been a management change regarding the Pole’s situation was the coach himself, Julian Nagelsmann, who assumed that he was not going to forcibly retain any player. And it is that little by little, in the Bavarian entity they are getting used to the idea that Lewandowski’s days are numbered.

Now comes, in any case, the most complicated part of the process: opening negotiations with Bayern, a club considered “very complicated” in this regard. As this newspaper has learned, Barcelona is not willing to exceed the 60 million euro bar in any case, especially considering the player’s age (he turns 34 in August) and that the contract ends next year and he would go free.

From the club it is considered that Bayern will not be able to despise an offer of this depthespecially due to the pressure exerted by the player himself, who has made his intention of wanting to live one last football experience in the elite very clear.

The arrival of Lewandowski could produce a chain effect within the Barcelona squad, with the more than likely departure of Memphis Depay this summer, since the position of 9 would be doubled by the Pole and Aubameyang. It must be remembered that the Dutch forward’s contract ends next year and it would be a valid formula to obtain some additional income for the player.
