FC Barcelona had major problems signing players in the final stretch of the transfer market. In his appearance before the media at the Auditori 1899 at the Spotify Camp Nou, Joan Laporta took stock after the close of the summer window and spoke about this situation, confessing that Robert Lewandowski offered a surprising solution to these inconveniences to achieve the registrations of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor in LaLiga.
According to the president of the Barcelona institution, the Polish striker proposed an adjustment of his contract to help the entity achieve the registration of its two signings. "I see Robert more motivated than ever. Robert needed this new boost, he is very well physically and I see him very excited. He is a player committed to the club and I can assure you of that. When he heard that if we could make some efforts to reach 'fair play', he offered his contract," revealed 'Jan'.
"I really appreciate it, but I told him it wasn't necessary. He's very committed to the club and he's also demanding of the team, of himself and of his teammates. We've gotten a good performance out of him and I'm sure this will be Lewandowski's best year," added Laporta, thanking Lewandowski for his great gesture, which shows that he's not only a leader on the pitch, but also off it.
A sensational start to the season
These words from the Catalan club's top boss come amid the spectacular form of the goalscorer in the squad led by Hansi Flick. 'Lewy' has established himself as the great figure of Barça in this start to the league, scoring four goals in the first four games of the Spanish championship and being one of the main reasons why the Blaugranas are leading the league standings alone. His start excites the Barcelona fans, who aim to be candidates for everything with the help of the Pole.
