The Catalan champions have agreed to negotiations on a three-year deal with the 33-year-old.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>PSG, Manchester City, and Liverpool were all interested in hiring the Poland striker, yet he preferred to choose Barcelona per BR Football.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Barcelona has been eyeing the acquisition of the Poland captain as they strive to add a strong, reliable striker to Xavi Hernandez\u2019s project. Pini Zahavi, his agent, has engaged with the Catalans, and the Catalans have obtained favourable input from those discussions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">It is presently reported that the negotiations have culminated in a contract agreement. According to Interia Sport, Lewandowski and Barcelona have secured a deal on a three-year multi-million dollar agreement ahead of a potential move later this summer. Several other European giants, notably Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain, and Manchester City, are said to have offered bids to the ace goalscorer. Lewandowski, on the other hand, seemed to have opted to join Bar\u00e7a.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Per the reports, Lewandowski desired a three-year contract from his suitors, and Barcelona has allegedly granted him the same.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>To complete the contract well before the commencement of the next season, the Blaugrana will have to settle a transfer budget with Bayern Munich. The Bundesliga champions desire him to persist further. Nonetheless, with the striker reportedly yearning for a switch elsewhere, they will be compelled to move him or risk sacrificing their strongest gem for free in 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">If this is real, Lewandowski would be a major acquisition for Barcelona. Although being 33 years old, the Polish forward has demonstrated no indications of slacking down this campaign, netting 46 goals thus far.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>A three-year deal could be perceived as a concern, but if Lewandowski sustains his existing form, Bar\u00e7a will benefit immensely from his arrival.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liverpool, PSG, and Manchester City had all tabled proposals for the Polish captain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":266,"featured_media":33961,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[569,221,344,238,3271,2604,447,2534],"class_list":["post-11491","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-bayern-munchen","tag-bayern-munich","tag-bundesliga","tag-fc-barcelona","tag-fc-bayern","tag-liverpool-fc","tag-psg","tag-robert-lewandowski"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11491","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/266"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11491"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11491\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11491"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11491"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11491"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
