Barcelona are unlikely to want to lose any of their key performers this winter as they look to pursue silverware for a second straight season. Yet with the financial difficulties continuing to plague them, more than one side might chance their arm.
As per Nico Bravo of TUDN Mexico, Robert Lewandowski remains on the agenda of a number of Major League Soccer sides, although this report is yet to be backed up. Sport say that after Al Abha came armed with €150m for Lewandowski in the summer, and were knocked back by both club and player, that Saudi Arabia will again try for his signature. The January window is the offseason for the MLS clubs too, but it is hard to imagine the Polish striker being allowed out the door before the end of the season.
The 34-year-old has six goals and four assists this season, and is still a crucial factor for the Blaugrana. Even with teenage Brazilian striker Vitor Roque arriving over the next six months, either in January or the summer, letting Lewandowski go would likely be seen as tantamount to conceding the La Liga title to Real Madrid, without any hope of a similar level replacement coming in.
Personally for me if one of these Saudi or Qatari teams are prepared to offer big money for him if i were barca i would take the money and run,Lewandowski imo has basically been non existent since the world cup finished and isnt getting any younger either,barca could potentially end up making a very handsome quick profit plus lets not forget a certain cf victor roque will be arriving soon,barca could then use any profit money from the deal on a cdm pivot for the future like gabriel moscardo of corinthians,i think inside the club the board would sell 100% the problem is lewandowski isnt on board and doesn’t want to leave time will tell but unfortunately i can’t see this happening any time soon.
