There were heated discussions in Barcelona about the future of one of the team’s stars during the last transfer period.
There were great doubts about this player, due to several factors, including his advanced age, his high salary, and his unstable performance last season.
The relationship between him and coach Xavi Hernandez also witnessed tensions, which increased speculation about his transfer.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper El Nacional, Barcelona’s management received several proposals regarding the sale of Polish player Robert Lewandowski, but interest was limited, especially from major European clubs, as there were some offers from the Saudi League, but the player himself preferred to continue in Europe, which made him stay at Camp Nou.
The newspaper added that 4 players from Barcelona’s first team went to Laporta and told him about the need to sell the Polish player due to his advanced age and his inability to provide the required addition to the team.
Fortunately for the player, the appointment of Hans-Dieter Flick as the new first-team coach completely changed his path from a potential transfer candidate to a key member of the team thanks to a series of impressive performances as he once again established himself as an indispensable force at Barcelona, explaining why he is the highest paid of his teammates.
