Barcelona made the bold move of bringing in Lola Lewandowski last season and signed a tempting 3+1 contract. With the yearly rise in labor, the second year's annual salary is expected to reach 26 million euros (about 220 million Hong Kong dollars). However, the quarterly salary is rumored to climb further to €32 million (about HK$270 million), adding to Barcelona's financial woes and forcing them to consider selling him this summer.
Nevertheless, "Roberto" had a stunning performance for Barcelona last season, scoring 33 goals for the team and helping them regain the La Liga title, and this season, despite the team's overall decline, he has delivered 18 goals and 7 assists. This season, despite the team's overall decline, he still delivered 18 goals and 7 assists, and at the age of 35, he is still valued at 20 million euros (about 170 million Hong Kong dollars) in the transfer market, so his value is still not to be underestimated.
According to RAC1, Barcelona's financial woes have yet to be alleviated, and they may not be able to continue to afford the high salaries of the "Roberts" next season. With the rise of young players such as Yemma and Makkel, Barcelona have decided to push them into the transfer market this summer.
The Mirror analyzes that Manchester United are in desperate need of a center forward this summer, and the addition of "Robert" would certainly help young striker Helen grow. Another route would be to sell him to Saudi Arabia, which would not only have the potential to command a high transfer fee, but would also allow "Robbo" to earn far more than in Europe before he retires.
