FC Barcelona is a walking paradox when it comes to the state of its economy. The signals it sends are those of a club with a tight budget when it comes to increasing resources for certain areas (women’s football, basketball, and other sections), but at the same time, it has not only just signed a forward like Anthony Gordon for 70 million euros plus 10 million in variables for its men’s football team, but it also does not rule out acquiring the services of Julián Álvarez, another offensive player for whom Atlético is asking 150 million. Everything has an explanation, although not without risks.

“Robert has to say something,” Hansi Flick hinted to his players in the last training session before the final match of the season at Camp Nou. And the professional Lewandowski spoke. Four seasons after his arrival, the Pole, who will turn 38 in August, will not renew with FC Barcelona. After informing his teammates, Lewandowski announced the end of his time at the club in an emotional video published on his social media. This Saturday he will play his last match wearing the Barcelona jersey at Spotify Camp Nou. And he will be a starter so the fans can say goodbye to him.
