Robert Lewandowski has become the star FC Barcelona needed after the departure of Lionel Messi. In a project that seemed adrift, the 34-year old Polish striker arrived to transform everything.

Right now, Robert Lewandowski is the top scorer in the 2022-2023 La Liga with 14 goals. That’s why he’s the front-runner to take home the famous Pichichi award and, maybe, the European Golden Shoe (Golden Boot). Furthermore, thanks to his contribution, FC Barcelona are leaders in the Spanish league, won the Spanish Super Cup and are currently in the semifinals of the Spanish Cup (Copa del Rey).

However, Bayern Munich are following very closely each and every move by Robert Lewandowski. Now, considering his spectacular performances, the German club might be ready to trigger a contract clause which will directly affect FC Barcelona.
