Out of the picture on the pitch, Robert Lewandowski is pushed towards the exit at Barça. The leaders would have bluntly warned him that he was no longer indisputable in Xavi’s starting lineup.
FC Barcelona is visibly ready to turn the page on Robert Lewandowski… A year and a half after his arrival, and while his contract runs until 2026 (despite being 35 years old!), the Polish striker is hard to see at the forefront of the attack of the Blaugrana. He is not very brilliant at finishing (nine goals in 21 matches in all competitions) and especially uncomfortable in the possession game advocated by Xavi.
As recently indicated by the Catalan media Sportthe leaders of the Barcelona club contacted an intermediary to offer the former bomber from Bayern to Saudi Arabia for next summer. In the meantime, according to Carmen Torres of Marca, management warned “Lewy” that he was no longer indisputable in the starting team and that he had to improve quickly. A hell of a Christmas present…
Reigning champion, FCB has only won eleven matches in 18 days and finds itself seven points behind Real Madrid and Girona, before resuming next Thursday in Las Palmas. Joao Félix and Ferran Torres can very well start up front in place of Lewandowski, who has only scored once in his club’s last seven matches.
