Milan want Lewandowski?
What is the current situation? As Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto reported in their latest video (via Calciomercato.com), Lewandowski is in no rush to decide his future despite the fact his deal runs out in a few months.
The former Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund player wants to make the most of his season in Spain, playing for Barcelona, despite the fact that it could possibly be his last in LaLiga.
Furthermore, regarding possible interest from Milan, the high salary he receives in Catalonia must also be taken into consideration: according to information gathered by the Iberian media, we are talking about a salary of €26m gross (around €13m net) with bonuses on top.
There’s currently a 50/50 chance Lewandowski will leave Barcelona, as per the report, given that negotiations for a contract renewal between his agent Pini Zahavi and the Blaugrana have stalled.
Furthermore, there’s his agent’s connections with Saudi Arabia, a world of football that can offer ridiculous sums to sign the Polish striker. However, this remains a situation that won’t be resolved in the short term, but will continue beyond the next winter transfer window.
I don’t know why Lewa keeps coming up… He’s not gonna press. He won’t hold up the ball or help build up play. So we would use him for what ? Ping long balls o to the box and hope he gets a header on? And in what formation? Two up front and you waste a slot on him?
