In recent days Romelu Lukaku has returned to FC Barcelona's agenda, in case the 'Lewandowski operation' fails: Which of the two strikers would have more 'ballots' to land at the Camp Nou?

Calendar of FC Barcelona

With the season 2021-22 finish, the work in the dispatches of the FC Barcelona has begun. Robert Lewandowski has turned into the main aim of the blaugrana, but is an operation complicated: the Bayern of Munich resists to sell it and from the City Condal still have to square his accounts to think in futures traspasos. It will be a true 'serial' that will take, maybe more than the expected, in resolving .

The intention of Lewandowski is to change of airs. It has 'tired' of the Bayern and would be loved with the idea of recalar in the Camp Nou. In fact, it has kept diverse conversations with Xavi Hernández in the last weeks and is convinced that it can triumph dress of blaugrana, by what expects that his situation resolve prompt and the muniqueses allow him go out by an accessible price. "It does not like me be in this situation. What is sure for the moment is that my era in the Bayern has finish. I do not see any possibility to follow my career in this club", said recently.

The case is that in the Barça understand that the operation does not depend only of the Barcelona wish and of the own footballer, by what are attentive to the alternatives in the market. 'Sportive world' informed this Thursday that in the diary of the culés had appeared Romelu Lukaku, of Chelsea, like alternative to the traspaso of Lewandowski. The Belgian wants to abandon the Stamford Bridge and has sounded to reinforce to the Bayern of Munich, but also could return to the Inter of Milan.

Both are two 'killers' of the area that do not need to sign a big party to mark the difference. They are of these players that appear in the ideal moment to kill to the rival. Lewandowski Has finalised the season with 50 goals in his personal account and has turned into one of the big '9' of the actuality, whereas Lukaku has signed a quite discreet season in Chelsea (15 goals in total), that was marked by his 'encontronazos' with Thomas Tuchel. With the Inter signed courses of 30 goals and ten assistances (2020-21) or 34 targets and six passes of goal (2019-20).

Lewandowski, a 'crack' in all the rule

The greater advantage of Lewandowski is that it is living the best moment of his career and that in these years has put his name between the biggest of the world. His figures goleadoras give fear: 40 in the 18-19, 55 in the 19-20, 48 in the 20-21 and the mentioned 55 in this last campaign. Like curious data, no low of the 40 targets by season (only explaining his performances with the Bayern) dese that landed in Munich, in the 14-15, when it signed 25 so many between all the competitions.

It is a predatory in the area and a player that knows very very how situate to receive near of the rival goalkeeper. It costs , also, of the acrobatics for 'kill' on the contrary, remembering, for example, of the golazo that annotated against the Dinamo of Kiev in the phase of groups of the present Champions League that marvelled to more than one. It is a '9' in all the norm that could adapt very easy to the diagram of Xavi Hernández.

His elder 'against' is his age, place will begin the season with 34 years (fulfils them on 21 August). The Barça would have offered him two years of agreement more one optional, by which would live in the City Condal practically his last years of career. It will be necessary to see if his physicist continues being the same. It is a plan 'in the short term' of the culés that, to work, would leave a big hollow when it no longer was. Of there the insistence of some of fichar to a '9' younger.

Lukaku, with a lot that offer

The numbers of Lukaku are much more discreet that the ones of Lewandowski (because it is impossible to surpass him), but is a player that in the last years has been between the most important of the old continent and that also would have a lot that offer in the Barça. In the Inter of Milan found his best version, with 64 goals in 95 parties contested in two years, whereas in Chelsea his paper has been quite discussed and much greyer, although it has marked key goals for the 'blues'.

In addition to the goals, Lukaku is of these forwards that create fear in the rivals (and is a quite important factor). It measures 1.91 metres and is quite imponente inside the area, allowing to his teams expand the offensive horizon and turning into an offensive reference, so much in positional attacks as when it looks for a more direct game when attacking the spaces and to the that always is necessary to put him an individual labeling to avoid that it leave and of loose rein.

His 'against' is, probably, that does not come of a good season with Chelsea and that his paper has not been protagónico. It is a factor that leaves him very 'far' of what represents right now Robert Lewandowski, but of same way has showed to be a leading centre very determinant. They do not accompany it, neither the registers goleadores, although it is a footballer that also contributes a lot by means of assistances (to 'Lewa' costs him more).
