Robert Lewandowski started this season brilliantly. He scored goal after goal and in total he scored 23 of them, including both competitions LaLigaas well as the Champions League. Unfortunately, he has slowed down a bit recently and in the last eight matches he scored only four times. IN Spain Therefore, a discussion broke out again whether the Pole should continue to determine the strength of FC's attack Barcelona. The shocking news was reported by journalist David Bernabeu.
Are they fed up with Lewandowski in Barcelona? They want to “reach an agreement”
During the discussion on the Catalan program “Sports” revealed a surprising rumor. – It's not about Deco or Flick, but there are voices in the club that the best thing for Barcelona would be to reach an agreement with Lewandowski so that he will not be here next season. Then, in Lewandowski's absence, they will try to sign a contract with one more striker, but we need to see if there will be financial fair play – he revealed. The journalist also added that the operation will not be easy, because the Pole will have one year left on his contract and it will be automatically extended if he does. will play 50% of the matches.
Lewandowski's possible departure would require the consent of the interested party himself. Bernabeu therefore asked its guests whether such a scenario was possible in their opinion. – For me, what Lewandowski had done so far was strange. He is 36 years old and he still scored goals one after another, which is not normal. It is also true that if Guendogan stayed, it would be the last call for him, because already in the preparation period it was said that both of them could not play because they did not put pressure on the rival – recalled Laia Cervello from “The Athletic”.
However, the journalist does not believe that Barcelona will get rid of the Pole. – He is not a player who will fight you for every ball and press high. But I think he will stay despite his age and current situation. If he wasn't kicked out last season, which was quite an unfortunate season for him, it won't happen now. “He wants to stay in Barcelona, ​​his wife too, she has a contract and I don't think he cares much about what is said about him,” she said.
What's next for FC Barcelona? The journalist explains: “The problem is not Lewandowski”
The only question is whether Lewandowski is really responsible for Barcelona's current problems. According to Carles, Fite still performs his tasks well, which cannot be said about his colleagues. – Barcelona's problem is not Lewandowski. The problem is the lack of Lewandowski's substitute. I'm sorry, but there's Ferran, Ansu and Victor – three guys and none of them function properly in attack. You need someone who gives guarantees for the future. OK, Lewandowski will disappear, but who will you put in his place? – he asked. He also regretted that none of the young players developed alongside the older Lewandowski.
Lluis Carrasco, however, was critical of Lewandowski and questioned his position in the team. -For me, there are currently three types of players in Barcelona – those who are the reference, those who are dependent and those who are obedient. The reference points are Cubarsi, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal. They function independently. Unfortunately, Lewandowski is a clearly dependent player, he is not a reference for anyone – he argued.
