This season, FC Barcelona is in difficulty. Third in La Liga, the Catalans are far from their standards of last season and Xavi is struggling to find the winning formula. Criticized by Culés supporters, the former midfielder also announced that he would leave the Barcelona bench at the end of the season. And since its announcement, Barça remains on two consecutive victories in the league including a brilliant success yesterday on the pitch of Deportivo Alavés (3-1).
In his two meetings, Vitor Roque stood out. The only scorer in the middle of the week against Osasuna (0-1), the young Brazilian striker did it again this weekend even though he had come on four minutes earlier. However, expelled a few minutes later for two severe yellow cards, El Tigrinho was also defended by his entire club this Sunday in a hostile context towards Iberian refereeing. Brilliant for his debut, the 18-year-old striker could shake up the hierarchy among the Camp Nou residents. Especially since Robert Lewandowski is having a difficult season despite a return to form since the start of the new year.
Robert Lewandowski does not want to move from Barcelona this summer!
The 35-year-old Polish striker has 14 goals and 6 assists this season in 31 matches. An honorable record but far from the habits of the former tormentor of the Bayern Munich surfaces. Under contract until 2026, his future is inevitably being talked about in Catalonia. And according to information from Sport this Sunday, “Lewy” has all the cards in hand for its future. Hesitant to leave the Camp Nou residents this summer in the face of sporting uncertainties, the Pole would now be reassured and could imagine staying in Barcelona for a long time to come.
Within the Barcelona management, the desire of the experienced striker will be respected and he should not be pushed towards the exit. On the other hand, he will also not be accepted in the event of a good offer which could interest him according to the indiscretions of the Catalan media. From a salary point of view, the defector from Borussia Dortmund will receive the same salary for his third year in Barcelona as Joan Laporta’s teams are satisfied with his contribution on the field and as a mentor in the Catalan locker room. While waiting for the new project inspired by the future Barça technician, RL9 would be excited by the project of the current third in Liga and the idyll should still continue on the banks of the Costa Brava!
