The Bayern striker was having a phone conversation in Polish and his teammates repeatedly heard him mention the name “Barcelona”.
The situation
Bayern Munich do not want to part with Robert Lewandowski, but the Polish striker has practically decided his future: he wants to sign for FC Barcelona . The Blaugrana team, conditioned by his economic situation, will do everything possible to obtain the services of the 33-year-old player, who still has one more year of contract with the Bavarian team. Although the possibility that Lewandowski ends up staying in Munich and leaving, already as a free agent, during the summer of 2023 is still up in the air , if the Pole had not been clear enough about his future after the dispute in the last Bundesliga game, a telephone conversation would have alerted his own colleagues of his intentions.
The details
“Robert Lewandowski was speaking loudly on the phone in the locker room. Although the striker spoke Polish, there was a term that all professionals understood even without knowledge of the foreign language” , reveals the German daily Bild . The term? “FC Barcelona”. Some members of the Bavarian squad repeatedly heard how their top scorer mentioned the name of the culé team , the great favorite to win their services this summer. And it is that the name of Barça has been on everyone’s lips for weeks, including Robert Lewandowski’s own. To the question of whether the Pole will be the great summer reinforcement of FC Barcelona, the president Joan Laporta replied in Catalunya Ràdio that they are working “to be more competitive, but it is not easy due to the economic situation . We are working to clean up the club’s economy From here we will be able to do operations”. The transfer market for the Blaugrana team is expected to be busy, with the possible additions of César Azpilicueta, Franck Kessié or Andreas Christensen, in addition to the attempt by Robert Lewandowski, for this reason, says Joan Laporta, “if we manage to clean up the economy, we will be able to face all the operations that we are contemplating” .
