Everything indicates that Robert Lewandowski is living his last months at Barcelona . The 37-year-old Polish striker's contract expires in June, and the Catalan press seems unanimous: the Blaugrana management has no intention of extending it. Barcelona's decision-makers believe he will no longer be at the level to be a starter at the forefront of the attack, and that it is time to start a new cycle up front. And this while the former Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich goal scorer wanted to re-sign, not wanting to go to Saudi Arabia for example.
In Hansi Flick's eyes, the Pole is no longer a completely undisputed starter, and the German often prefers Ferran Torres. The Spanish media reveal, on a daily basis, names of possible replacements, ranging from XXL leads Julian Alvarez (Atlético) and Erling Haaland (Manchester City) to Serhou Guirassy (Borussia Dortmund), via Karl Etta Eyong (Levante). In a complicated financial context, the search for a new star up front promises to be complicated...
Barça is angry
A situation that is surely frustrating for Lewy , and the latest information from Marca even suggests a strained relationship between the player and the management. The reason is that the latter is very upset by the injury to the biceps femoris of the Pole, affected with his national team during this break. Injured against Lithuania, the player had decided to force and continue to play with a bandage, which did not help and aggravated an injury that will keep him off the pitch for more than a month. He will notably miss this Clasico on October 26.
The staff and management didn't appreciate this at all and are clearly angry. They believe that players must also be responsible and aware of their fitness, knowing when to push themselves and when not. Especially when it comes to a player with such experience, who normally has to take even more care of himself. The rag is burning.
