Barça has serious doubts about the 'Lewandowski operation'

Robert Lewandowski has become one of the great alternatives that FC Barcelona manages in the event that Erling Haaland is an impossible mission. The Norwegian is Joan Laporta's dream, but for weeks the president has been making it clear to the media that the Norwegian's operation is tremendously complicated. For this reason, they are looking for other level options such as that of the Bayern Munich striker.

The Pole ends his contract in 2023 and is not happy in Bavaria. The people of Munich are not showing the enthusiasm that the striker would have liked when it comes to negotiating his renewal and that is why he is open to leaving this summer. That is where Barça appears, who are looking for a tall 'killer' for next season. However, at the Camp Nou it seems that they have certain doubts about his arrival.

In 'Mundo Deportivo' they assure that the age of the man from Warsaw works against him when it comes to being chosen by the entity. The striker is 33 years old and will turn 34 this summer, so he has already entered the final stretch of his career. In addition, he would not arrive free and a transfer would have to be paid for him, something that does not convince Barcelona, ​​since amortizing his cost will be more complicated because it is almost impossible for him to be signed for more than three years.

Bayern are clear that they will not give away their great star, who still has a market value of 50 million euros. Taking this into account, it seems that the Germans will not let him out for less than 40 'kilos' despite the fact that his contract ends in 2023. It is a lot of money for a footballer who hardly has more than two years left in the super elite of football. At Barça they also think about his salary, which would not be less than 10 net kilos per year.

It is for all this that in Barcelona they prioritize rushing all the options for Haaland and also those for Mohammed Salah​, who seems to be the alternative to the Norwegian. Lewandowski likes it and it is an option that is far from ruled out, but that is now in the background. Football-wise, there are no doubts about the great leap that the number '9' could give to Xavi Hernández's team, but financially speaking, his age makes it an operation that raises doubts.

Lewandowski is obsessed with his physical form

However, despite all this, it must be said that the Pole is one of the players who takes better care of himself in Europe. The striker wants to extend his career as much as possible and that is why he has spent years taking care of even the smallest aspect of his preparation to make it possible. Therefore, given his style of play, it would not be surprising if he managed to stay at the top for three more campaigns. As Barça is growing, with the contribution of the Pole, it would not be unreasonable to think that in that time they can get some Champions and several Leagues. In the club they will put all the pros and cons on a scale and decide what to do based on all this.
