To his entourage, Bayern Munich superstar expresses his intention of joining Barcelona
Barcelona are gradually coming to terms with the fact that signing Erling Haaland in the summer may become a pipe dream. As a result, in order to remain active in the forward market, a certain Robert Lewandowski emerged in the past as a potential target.
According to Spanish news outlet SPORT, the Poland international has already communicated through his camp that he wishes to wear the Blaugrana blue.
In fact, it is expected that the forward will do everything in his power to facilitate a move that has effectively elevated him to the top of Barcelona's priority list.
It's no secret that Lewandowski's relationship with Bayern Munich has deteriorated since the club showed little to no interest in offering him a better contract. The Bavarians have proposed a one-year extension to his current contract, which expires in 2023.
They're attempting to convey the fact that, at 33 years old, his time at Bayern has come to an end. As a result, the star forward has now set his sights on moving to Spain, and it is believed that the Barcelona project has piqued his interest.
Barça is still waiting to see what happens with Haaland, which means that they have effectively halted any work on Lewandowski's deal for the time being.
If the team realizes that the Norwegian is out of reach, they will put everything in place to pursue the Bayern forward.
However, if Barcelona is to sign the 33-year-old, they must prepare a three or four-year contract.
Furthermore, because he still has one year left on his current contract, SPORT reports that Bayern will demand a transfer fee of around €65 million.
However, if Barcelona agrees to send Sergino Dest the other way, the price can be reduced.
The priority for Barcelona is to sign someone who can guarantee at least 20 goals per season. While Haaland remains the club's top priority, the team has also expressed interest in Mohamed Salah, but his immediate departure is unlikely from Anfield could be extremely complicated.
So the Cule management now sees Lewandowski as a feasible option to consider.
