Barcelona ready to match Lewandowski’s Bayern salary, will offer a three-year contract

The arrival of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang completely changed the look and output of Barcelona’s attack. The team had not had a real number nine for over a year before the Gabonese striker joined. Needless to say, his arrival injected life into the team.

According to several reports, Barcelona are now eyeing Robert Lewandowski as a possible signing in the upcoming window. With every passing day, the dream move is progressing towards a reality.

Sport1 (h/t Actualite – Barça) report that the Catalans are prepared to offer the Polish striker a top contract for 2-3 seasons. Moreover, they are willing to match the salary he is currently paid at Bayern Munich.

In recent years, Lewandowski has, almost inarguably, been the best striker in global football. His standout performances were rewarded as he was named FIFA’s Best Player in both 2020 and 2021.

This season, the 33-year-old has scored a top five league-high 32 goals in 29 league games and has created five big chances. He averages five shots and a key pass in every game.

Lewandowski is seen as an alternative to Erling Haaland, whose signing would prove to be financially draining. While the veteran will not be a long term option, he is a proven star who can have an instant impact.

The two parties are far from reaching an agreement. However, with only a year left on his contract, Bayern Munich will be under pressure to sell him
