La Liga heavyweights Barcelona have reportedly lodged an offer worth €50 million to sign priority target Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich.
According to Polish journalist Mateusz Borek, Barcelona might be closing in on securing the services of Robert Lewandowski in the summer transfer window. The Catalan giants have tabled a bid worth €50 million, which matches Bayern Munich’s asking price for the Polish international.
The Robert Lewandowski transfer saga might finally have entered its endgame. The 33-year-old has been determined to leave Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window despite enjoying unending success with the Bavarian giants in the past eight years, establishing himself as one of the most fearsome strikers in the game.
The Polish international has a brilliant tally of 344 goals and 72 assists in 374 appearances for Bayern Munich. But Lewandowski might have played his last game for the Bundesliga champions, with Barcelona hot on his heels ahead of a potential move in the summer transfer window.
The Catalan giants have been determined to sign a prolific attacker this summer after feeling the crushing after-effects of Lionel Messi’s shock departure from Camp Nou last summer. Memphis Depay was Barcelona’s top scorer last season, with the Dutch international finding the back of the net just 13 times.
While Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang provided some respite in the second half of the season, the former Arsenal captain has not been consistent enough in the last few seasons. Lewandowski thus emerged as a viable target for the summer transfer window, with the player agitating to join the Blaugrana by being vocal about his desire to leave Bayern Munich.
But Bayern Munich repeatedly rejected Barcelona’s offers in the last few weeks, compelling the Catalan giants to bite the bullet and prepare a bid with a fixed payment of €50 million. And while some recent reports claimed that Bayern Munich might have increased the asking price again, a €50 million bid might do the trick.
