Despite the tense economic situation, FC Barcelona is optimistic that Robert Lewandowski can be signed in the summer. If no transfer agreement is reached with FC Bayern, the Catalans are considering a swap deal with Memphis Depay.
According to reports, Bayern’s pain threshold for Lewandowski is 40 million euros if you actually decide to give the Pole a release. While reports have recently been circulating that Barcelona would be willing to raise this sum in principle, one suddenly seems to have concerns.
As the “Mundo Deportivo” reports, Barcelona would like to start negotiations with Bayern with 30 million euros. According to the newspaper, the upper limit for the FIFA world footballer is 35 million euros.
Will Bayern engage in a barter deal?
It is interesting that if no agreement is reached in the transfer negotiations, Barcelona would be willing to involve Memphis Depay in the transfer. In plain language: The 28-year-old Dutchman could be available as an exchange object.
The winger could possibly be an interesting option for Munich. According to “Sky” information, FCB is looking for another outside striker in addition to a classic 9 in the summer. Depay joined Barcelona on a free transfer from Olympique Lyon in the summer of 2021 and has recorded 13 goals and 2 assists in 37 appearances for the Blaugrana. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is estimated at 45 million euros.
