FC Barcelona is cracking. For several years, the Blaugrana club has had to manage a very significant financial crisis. At the same time, he also has to deal with sporting results that are not always there. Last year, the Camp Nou residents were eliminated from the Champions League in the group stage, before quickly exiting in the Europa League. This season, the Catalans seem to be left behind in La Liga (10 points behind Real Madrid, 1st), who were eliminated in the Copa del Rey. To make matters worse, Xavi announced his departure at the end of the season.
Other players could follow, like Frenkie de Jong. Often pushed towards the exit in recent years, the Dutchman is willing to leave this time since he is unhappy with the project put in place and wants to win the Champions League. Its price is set at 100 million euros according to Mundo Deportivo. The Barcelona residents are also ready to open the door wide to Robert Lewandowski (35) during the next transfer window. Star recruit of the summer of 2022, the former Bayern Munich player finished his first year with a record of 33 goals and 8 assists in 46 appearances.
Lewy is not unanimous at Barça
This season, the Pole has a record of 13 goals and 6 assists in 30 matches, including 26 as a starter. But his performances are not always considered satisfactory by the Spanish press, who expect much more from a scorer of his caliber. Despite this, the striker is hanging on, he who wants to be present when the team inaugurates the new Camp Nou. “It’s a magical stadium, a magical pitch, and yes, of course I want to play there. We still have to wait ten months, I think. I hope we can be there at the end of the year and be able to play with everyone in this great atmosphere. (…) I feel very good in the city, my family too, we are very happy.”
But it is not certain that he will still be there when Barça returns to its grounds. El Chiringuito explains that he was placed on the list of transferable players in the event of a good offer, just like Ansu Fati and Ronald Araujo. The famous show presented by Josep Pedrerol also made another very important revelation. A journalist present on set confided: “There are players in the locker room who don’t get along with him.” Suffice to say that a departure would not necessarily be badly experienced by a good part of the group, who therefore have difficulty with Robert Lewandowski. The discomfort therefore increases for the player under contract until 2026.
