Why Barcelona club shop cannot print any Robert Lewandowski shirts

BARCELONA fans are unable to get shirts of the club's latest star signing Robert Lewandowski.

And the unbelievable reason behind this is that the club's megastore has ran out of the letter W, which appears twice on the star striker's surname.

A Barca fan recorded an exchange with a member of staff at the team's official shop asking him why there are no Lewandowski shirts available.

The employee responded: "Because we don't have the letters 'W'."

"And because he has two 'W' in his name we ran out."

Fans couldn't believe the news and took to Instagram to issue some colourful responses targeting Barcelona and their ongoing financial struggles.

Some of them even suggested a hilarious solution that would see them flipping the letter M around.

One supporter wrote: "Rare W for Barca."

Another posted: "Ran out of Ws years ago."

A third said: "And they can't afford new letters."

This fan commented: "Flip the M."

And that one wrote: "Get the Ms from Messi's shirts and turn' em around."

Barcelona landed Lewandowski following a deal with Bayern Munich rising to £42.5million.

It is believed the Poland international will put pen-to-paper on a four-year deal.

However, the Blaugrana are still dealing with financial issues that have started to show on and off the pitch.
