FC Barcelona is in the midst of rebuilding its attacking sector. While Lamine Yamal is expected to be the new Barcelona attacking leader at the age of only 17, the Catalan club is trying to bring in his national team mate Nico Williams. In a video posted on social media, we could see Joan Laporta confirming to a fan that his team will indeed try to enlist the Basque winger.
The Dani Olmo rumour, who also trained at La Masia, has also been coming back incessantly in the local press in recent days, even if it seems less hot for the moment than for Williams. In the midst of this passion and youth, Robert Lewandowski perhaps stands out a bit. Much criticised in recent months despite a more than decent season statistically (19 goals and 8 assists in 35 Liga matches), the 35-year-old striker is no longer necessarily unanimous.
Goodbye in a year?
Especially since his progressive salary – it will cost Barça 32 million euros this season – is a financial drain for a club in difficulty. As indicated RelevoBarça will have the possibility of parting with him for free next summer, and this while he still has one year left on his contract, thanks to a hidden clause. To do this, he would have to play less than 55% of the Barcelona club’s matches.
In the event of a serious injury or a downgrade in the hierarchy and a substitute role (a minimum number of minutes must be played for the match to be considered as played), the Catalan club will therefore have the possibility of ending the relationship that binds it to the former Bayern player one year before the end of his heavy contract. To be continued…
