Barcelona are now planning to complete the signing of Robert Lewandowski before July 15. That is according to Helena Condis of Cope.
And this report is supported by Fabrizio Romano’s claim that the Blaugrana are already preparing a new official bid for the Bayern Munich striker. Xavi Hernandez wants to add Lewandowski to his team, and the player’s priority is to move to Camp Nou.
Depay’s situation
Memphis Depay was one of Barcelona’s standout players last season. But the potential arrival of Lewandowski could limit his playing time.
A report from Diario Sport reveals that Barcelona have put the Dutch striker on the transfer market. If no offer comes for him before the end of this month, the club will renew his contract until 2025.
Xavi wants Kounde and Silva
The next signings after Lewandowski are apparently Jules Kounde and Bernardo Silva. Getting Kounde looks very likely after the economic boost Barcelona are about to receive. According to Martinez Ferran of Mundo Deportivo, Bernardo Silva’s signing depends on Frenkie de Jong’s departure. Barcelona want to sign him for around what they will \ Will Barcelona still sell De Jong?
The activation of the economic levers was expected to provide Barcelona with some cash, which could prevent the sale of De Jong. That is currently not the case.
The club is still open to selling the Dutch midfielder, as reported by Helena Condis. The player could be on his way out of the club soon.
Some contracts will be terminated
Barcelona are already considering the termination of some contracts, with Diario Sport reporting that an exit operation could affect 10 to 12 players.
Apart from freeing up space for the wage bill, another reason why Barcelona are planning to terminate the contracts of some players is to make room for incoming players. Samuel Umtiti and Neto are the first names on the termination list.
