Romano claims that Barcelona has been in contact with Lewandowski’s agent since February but has not placed a bid yet. The Catalan club has approached the player through their agent as opposed to contacting the club directly.

Barcelona has been on a downward spiral in recent years. With Lionel Messi having to leave the club, the Blaugrana were in financial and structural disarray. With a mismanaged board and massive transfer fees for mediocre players, the glory days of Barcelona were well behind them.

But ever since Barca appointed the legendary Xavi as their coach, things started going well. If the Robert Lewandowski transfer does go through, Barcelona will be adding some serious fire and star power to their roster.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Lewandowski himself is aware of Barca’s interest. But staying at Bayern is his current top priority until or unless the situation changes very rapidly.
