Robert Lewandowski Transfer from FC Barcelona to Manchester United
It has been reported that Manchester United's chances of signing Robert Lewandowski have increased because AC Milan will have difficulty affording his salary. This situation could create an opportunity for Manchester United, who have been frequently associated in reports with Lewandowski. According to Romano, there is a tangible possibility that Lewandowski and Barcelona will separate at the end of the season, but not in January. It is also a widespread belief that Lewandowski wishes to continue playing in Europe rather than move to MLS or the Middle East, which increases United's hope of securing a deal. Additionally, there has been minimal to no effort from either Barcelona or Lewandowski to initiate discussions about a contract renewal.
According to The Telegraph, Robert Lewandowski was offered to Manchester United. The striker's contract with FC Barcelona is ending, and he is able to speak with other clubs from January 1. However, Manchester United will not be an option. The report states that owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe does not want to repeat the error of signing a player who is beyond their best performance level solely due to their reputation. Lewandowski's salary is also excessively high. FC Barcelona does not intend to renew his contract.
Ruben Amorim would have liked to bring Lewandowski to Manchester, but Ratcliffe vetoed the idea because of the striker's age. Ratcliffe, who is British, apparently is not in favor of bringing a player to Old Trafford who is in the latter part of their career. It is reported that Manchester United is unwilling to pay the 32 million euros per year that Lewandowski currently earns at Barca. The contract for the Polish national team striker is valid until June 30, 2026, and it is considered rather unlikely that the Catalans will extend it.
According to The Mirror, coach Ruben Amorim had requested the signing of Robert Lewandowski for Manchester United. It is reported that owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe vetoed the signing for next summer because the player is at the end of his career and does not offer long-term prospects. Lewandowski earns more than 618,000 euros per week at Barcelona, which is over 32 million euros per year. The owner would prefer to invest money in other ways and in young prospects.
Robert Lewandowski was one of the players requested by Ruben Amorim for Manchester United, but the ownership of Manchester United does not agree. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, co-owner of the club, has vetoed the signing of the forward from Barcelona. According to the Daily Mirror, Amorim is a great admirer of Lewandowski and believes he could have a very positive impact, but Ratcliffe thinks it would be repeating past mistakes. According to the Mirror, the United ownership considers this operation would be as unsuccessful as those with Cristiano Ronaldo, Varane, Cavani or Schweinsteiger. The newspaper says that Ratcliffe does not consider it viable.
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim wants to complete a transfer for Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski, however co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has reportedly blocked a prospective transfer. The Mirror have revealed that Amorim has admired the veteran centre forward for a long time. According to the same source, Ratcliffe has decided to veto a potential transfer for Lewandowski. The Man Utd co-owner is reportedly eager to avoid signing ageing players near the end of their careers, following several mistakes in the market over the past decade.
Goal.com reports that Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has ended the club's pursuit of Barcelona player Robert Lewandowski. This is despite Ruben Amorim being eager to bring the veteran to Old Trafford next summer.
According to Team Talk, Manchester United are reportedly considering whether to sign Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski on a free transfer next summer. A deal would require the club to break their wage structure, and co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is reluctant to do so.
The Daily Star has reported on the possibility of Manchester United moving for Robert Lewandowski. Barcelona are not expected to offer him a new contract, and with his existing deal expiring at the end of the season, a departure via free agency is indicated. Dean Jones stated that there have been links between Manchester United and Robert Lewandowski, but he considers the move unthinkable and believes it does not fit with their philosophy, even on a free transfer. According to Jones, Lewandowski is the highest earner at Barcelona, and Manchester United have a strict policy on how much they pay players, particularly older ones. He added that even if Lewandowski were to halve his wages, he would be earning more than the majority of the squad. Jones cannot see Manchester United considering him as a signing unless he took a very radical pay cut.
Manchester United could sign 37-year-old Polish international Robert Lewandowski on a free transfer next summer, according to the Daily Star. The striker is in the final year of his Barcelona contract, and Fabrizio Romano has reported that there are indications of a departure. Lewandowski, who has no intention of retiring, could join the club over a decade after he previously agreed to a move while Sir Alex Ferguson was in charge. He told BBC Sport earlier this year that he had said yes to joining Manchester United during his time at Borussia Dortmund, but the German club would not sell him because they believed they could earn more money by keeping him. The club is reportedly exploring the market for an experienced striker. The striker has 87 goals in 161 caps for Poland. His current market value is €10.00m, according to Transfermarkt. Other clubs, including Atlético Madrid and Milan, have also been linked with a potential move.
