Barcelona veteran demands €8m annual salary and a two-year contract to join Juventus The future of Robert Lewandowski could be decided within days, as his contract expiry at FC Barcelona draws closer. While the 37-year-old striker’s initial priority had been to stay with the Blaugrana , the lack of clarity from the club with regard to his new deal and role in the team has left him looking for opportunities elsewhere. Italy has emerged as a strong possibility to be Lewandowski’s next destination, with AC Milan and Juventus, in particular, pushing to sign him.
As reported , Lewandowski’s agent, Pini Zahavi, was already in Italy in recent days to discuss a potential transfer. Lewandowski’s demands Now, according to La Stampa (h/t SPORT ), Zahavi recently held a meeting with Juventus to hear their proposal. During the discussions, he made clear Lewandowski’s willingness to sign, provided certain financial and sporting conditions are met.
Lewandowski is seeking a two-year contract worth €8 million net per season, plus bonuses. This represents a considerable financial commitment, even though the player would arrive as a free agent. As per the report, there was a positive atmosphere during the talks despite Juventus considering the demands to be significant.
In Turin, there is a belief that Lewandowski could prioritise this move over remaining at Barcelona, as he would be an undisputed starter and secure a guaranteed two-year deal. Headed to Turin?
