BC Barcelona is trying to get Bayern superstar Robert Lewandowski. Allegedly, the Catalan club are ready to trade attacker Memphis Depay in a fee package.
FC Barcelona is said to be getting creative in its courtship of Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski: According to the Spanish sports newspaper “Mundo Deportivo”, the Catalans can imagine a deal in which not only money flows towards Munich, but also a Barca Player comes to the German record champions.
With a transfer fee of up to 35 million euros – and the Depay transfer – according to the report, Barca want to try to convince Bayern to take the Polish attacker to let go this summer. Lewandowski’s contract with FC Bayern runs until 2023.
Depay has a mixed debut season
It is doubtful whether this deal pleases Bayern. With Depay they would not get a one-to-one replacement for Lewandowski.
The Dutchman only impressed at times in his first year at Barca. He still has 15 goals in 37 competitive games.
