After members decided last week to accept the sale of future merchandising and TV rights, Barcelona are expected to make a fresh and improved offer for Robert Lewandowski.

 

The Catalans are believed to have already had one offer rejected and are now willing to make an enhanced €50 million offer to Bayern for Lewandowski.

 

There's no denying Lewandowski's talent, but the fee is astronomical for a player who will turn 34 in August and is entering the last year of his contract.

 

According to Diario Sport, Barca will pay an initial cost of €40 million plus a further €10 million in variables.

 

Bayern has already signed a new attacker in the meanwhile. Sadio Mane's transfer from Liverpool has been agreed upon and is expected to be finalised next week.

 

The Bundesliga winners have agreed to a deal for the Senegalese international that may be worth up to €35 million.

 

After Mane's formal unveiling at the Allianz Arena, Barcelona and Bayern Munich are scheduled to meet down and discuss Lewandowski.

 

With a series of public declarations, Lewandowski has made it very known that he wants out this summer and hopes to join Barcelona.

According to reports, Barcelona is awaiting a new Manchester United proposal for Frenkie de Jong.

 

Manchester United appear to be reluctant to give up hope of acquiring Frenkie de Jong, and a new bid for the Netherlands international might be made next week.

The Catalan giants have previously turned down a €70 million bid for the midfielder, but are believed to be willing to sell for around €85 million.

 

United's top brass, according to Fabrizio Romano, are now discussing a potential new offer.

Manchester United will have to step up their bid to get De Jong, and even if a cost is agreed upon, it will be difficult to persuade the midfielder to go. While on international duty last week, the Dutchman shrugged off suggestions of a switch.

 

Over the weekend, club CEO Richard Arnold made waves after speaking to supporters about De Jong and adding, "Money is not a concern on who we want."

 

Such remarks will undoubtedly be music to Joan Laporta's ears right now, since ESPN recently reported that Barcelona was aiming for a €100 million deal for De Jong.
