If the transfer of Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona fails, Manchester United is ready to make an official offer for the Polish bomber. This is the news that has made it known "The Sun" in England, as the striker has been announcing for several weeks now, his desire to leave Bayern Munich this summer.
The world media have mostly speculated about an agreement between Lewandowski and the Spaniards of Barcelona, while according to reports, the player likes the idea of playing football at the Camp Nou. But this operation is by no means easy. Barcelona is in a very difficult financial situation, and has to sacrifice some of the club's players, to cover the potential costs of the Bayern Munich bomber. This despite the fact that the cost of the operation itself is not thought to go more than 20 million pounds. It is exactly the footballer's salary that bears the real cost of the transfer.
This is where United comes into play, which is closely monitoring the situation. The "Red Devils" are thought to be preparing a move similar to the one that brought Cristiano Ronaldo to Old Trafford last season. Lewandowski is 4 years younger than CR7 and is having the best moment of his career, as he managed to score a full 57 goals in 55 games last season.
The advantage that United has compared to Barcelona is definitely the economic one. The English are not "afraid" of a salary of around $ 400,000 a week. However, the disadvantage for United is the moment the team is in. New coach Ten Hag will take over a club with a lot of internal problems, which will not play in the Champions League during the new season. This means that Barcelona can seduce the Pole with a better sports project. However, the decision ultimately belongs only to Lewandowski, and it remains to be seen what the choice of striker will be.
