Barcelona are facing a potential transfer crisis as contract talks with veteran striker Robert Lewandowski remain deadlocked. The 37-year-old’s current deal expires at the end of June, and while a renewal offer is on the table, it has yet to be accepted.
According to AS, Juventus have tabled a contract offer for Lewandowski, who is attracting interest from several Italian clubs. The Serie A side are expected to move on Dusan Vlahovic, who has previously been linked with Barcelona, and want to replace him with the experienced striker.
Background
Lewandowski has been a key player for Barcelona this season, scoring crucial goals and providing assists. However, his contract situation has been a subject of concern, and it seems unlikely that he will remain at the club beyond the summer.
Juventus have already held talks with Lewandowski’s representatives, and they are confident that an agreement will be reached in the next few weeks. The Italian club are willing to offer the striker a significant contract, which would make him one of the highest-paid players in the league.
Reaction
Barcelona are yet to comment on the situation, but sources close to the club have revealed that they are prepared to let Lewandowski go if he does not accept the renewal offer. The club are eager to bring in new players and rebuild their squad, and Lewandowski’s departure could be a significant blow.
Juventus, on the other hand, are confident that they can lure Lewandowski to the Serie A. The club have a reputation for attracting top talent, and they are willing to spend big to bring in the experienced striker.
