Hansi Flick on Robert Lewandowski’s Barcelona future – ‘We talked about it, but…’
Hansi Flick on Robert Lewandowski’s Barcelona future – ‘We talked about it, but…’ Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has dodged the future of Robert Lewandowski again this summer, with doubts about where the Polish forward will be playing his football next season. The 37-year-old is out of contract this summer, and Barcelona have supposedly offered him an extension on reduced terms, but he could be on his way out of the club. With the La Liga title just five points away, much of the talk around Barcelona has already shifted to the summer transfer window.
Following another frustrating Champions League exit, the onus is on Barcelona to find the right players to help them reach the final. Flick was asked whether he felt his side already had what it took to lift the European Cup. “100%, 100% yes,” was his short answer, and he was not willing to get involved in some of this week’s penalty decisions, which have been compared to calls that went a different way in the quarter-finals.
“I don’t want to waste my time on this. It’s over. I watched the games and enjoyed them, I didn’t think beyond that.
” Flick on Lewandowski future – ‘We’ve talked, but…’ One of the main targets for Barcelona this summer is a number nine, perhaps signalling the end of Lewandowski’s time at the club. He could yet remain in a secondary role, but may prefer more game time elsewhere. “Of course we’ve talked about it, but it’s between us.
We’re only focused on the five remaining matches. After that, we’ll talk to everyone and see what happens,” he noted. ‘Xavi Espart is a great option for next season’ – Flick Another position of doubt at Can Barca are the full-backs.
