Bundesliga goal-machine open to a Barcelona switch in the summer: Fabrizio Romano

Speaking on his YouTube channel, reputed journalist and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Bayern Munich superstar Robert Lewandowski would be open to a switch to La Liga amid interest from Barcelona.

The 33-year-old is one of the greatest strikers on the planet currently and has been breaking records for fun in the Bundesliga. However, as he enters the final year of his contract with the Bavarian giants, the Poland international is looking for a new challenge in his career.

Lewandowski, as things stand, is considering an exit from the Allianz Arena and Barcelona have presented themselves as a potential destination for the striker.

The Catalans are on the hunt for a new prolific centre-forward to lead their project under Xavi Hernandez. While Borussia Dortmund ace Erling Haaland had been the club’s preferred target, the Norwegian is likely to slip out of the Catalans’ hands.

As a result, Lewandowski has been identified as an alternative, with reports even claiming that an agreement between the Pole and Barça has already been struck.

However, Romano has claimed that it is not the case, but admitted that there have been contacts between Barcelona and Lewandowski’s camp. However, nothing is advanced at this stage, although the striker is open to the prospect of playing in La Liga with the Blaugrana.

He may not prove to be a long-term option for Xavi & co. given his age. But the Bayern Munich superstar has shown that he is still very much at the top of his game and can be a valuable addition at Camp Nou for at least another two seasons or so.

With the striker also open to the possibility of a transfer, it remains to be seen if the Blaugrana are able to get Lewandowski in the summer or are forced to look at other alternatives.
