Barcelonahave fulfilled their main objective: to qualify for the 2022-2023 Champions League. It is estimated that the Cules will receive âŹ50 million for qualifying for next seasonâs UCL, a great income for the clubâs current economic situation.
Barcelonaâs main objective now is to build a top-level squad to be able to compete again against the best teams of the world. Xavi Hernandez has made it clear: âBarcelona must have two high-level players per positionâ, he said.
Mateu Alemany and Jordi Cruyff, members of Barcelonaâs Sporting Directorate, and Joan Laporta, Barcelonaâs president, are working to fulfill Xaviâs wishes to form a top-level team. The Cules have already signed two players at zero cost, Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessie. The club would be close to signing Carlos Soler, and all indications are that they have finallyreached an agreement withthe striker Xavi desired, Robert Lewandowski.
What wouldLewandowskiâs salary and contract be at Barcelona?
According to journalist Javier Miguel, Barcelona have reached an agreement with Lewandowski over a 3-year contract with a salary of 9,000,000 euros net per year. That is much less than what the Pole earnat Bayern Munich. As reported by Marca, the 33-year-old striker earn23,000,000 euros per year at the German club.
In addition, Lewandowskiâs agent, Pini Zahavi, has already been in Barcelona looking for a home for his client andbought ten Barcelona jerseys and stamped the Poleâs name on them.
Barcelona and Bayern Munich in talks to reach an agreement
Lewandowski has already decided that he will not remain with the German club. Hasan Salihamidzic, club sporting director, assured: âLewandowski informed me that he didnât accept our offer and he would like to leave the club. He told me he would like to try something newâ. However, the striker still has a contract with Bayern Munich until 2023, and for the Pole to join Barcelona this summer, Bayern must sell him.
Lewandowski arrived at Bayern Munich at zero cost in 2014, butthe German clubâs officials are seeking to make a large sum of money from the strikerâs sale, and it is well known that Barcelona has a large financial debt and cannot afford to make extreme expenditures. According to AS, the Cules are willing to pay up to 60,000,000 euros for Lewandowski. They believe it is an offer that Bayern cannot turn down.
The story is coming to an end. Barcelona and Lewandowski have reached an agreement, all that remains is for Barcelona and Bayern Munich to do so. The Pole will be a significant signing for the Spanish team.
