Robert Lewandowski may be getting closer to parting ways with FC Barcelona, and the club from Catalonia is already working on bringing in the striker for the next few years. Joao Pedro is high on the list of candidates, as he is expected to convince both Deco and Hansi Flick. Price may be an issue.
Robert Lewandowski is getting further and further from Barcelona
Lewandowski’s contract with FC Barcelona expires in less than two months, and there is still no agreement on further cooperation. The Pole’s situation remains uncertain because the conditions proposed by the club would mean a lower salary and a less important role in the team.
This makes the departure of the captain of the Polish national team a real scenario. Lewandowski is expected to attract interest from several clubs, including AC Milan, Juventus, Chicago Fire and FC Porto.
Joao Pedro – activists’ priority?
Barcelona is also looking for a striker who could take over from Lewandowski. For some time, Julian Alvarez was most frequently mentioned, but Atlético Madrid’s expectations are said to be too high for the Catalan club.
That is why the importance of Joao Pedro is growing more and more. The Brazilian, who plays for Chelsea, is currently one of Deco’s most important transfer targets. Hansi Flick also consented to such a move, which brings the club closer to specific actions.
Talks with the attacker’s entourage are already underway
Barcelona was about to start negotiations with Joao Pedro’s representatives. For now, it’s about preparing the ground for a potential transfer and checking whether the player would be ready to move to Spain.
The next stage will be talks between the clubs. They will determine whether the transaction will be possible, because Chelsea does not intend to easily give up a player who is having a very good season.
How much does Barcelona have to pay for Joao Pedro?
The price may be around EUR 65 million. This is a big expense for Barcelona, especially considering the financial constraints the club has been facing for a long time.
However, Joao Pedro defends his value with numbers. In the current competition, he played in 48 matches, scored 20 goals and recorded nine assists. Such statistics explain why Catalonia see him as a candidate for the role of striker for years to come.
Barcelona is preparing a change in attack
Lewandowski’s possible departure would mean the end of an important stage in FC Barcelona’s offensive. The club needs a younger, dynamic player ready to play in Flick’s system.
Joao Pedro fits this profile. He can play as a central striker, but he can also drop lower and participate in the play. If Barcelona finds the funds for the transfer, the Brazilian may become one of the most important figures of the summer window in Catalonia.
