Barcelona are looking to up the ante in their approach to signing Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich this summer. However, the German giants have set a high asking price and now Xavi Hernandez is thinking of using a vital cog from his squad as a makeweight in the deal.
Mundo Deportivo reports that young sensation Gavi could be pushed through the exit door at Camp Nou so that Lewandowski's signing could go over the line. The Spanish international only has one year left on his contract and Barcelona are yet to tie him to a new deal.
The player's representatives have been locked in a stalemate with the Catalan club and there is no sign of reaching an agreement as things stand. Julian Nagelsmann is believed to be an admirer of Gavi and is interested in adding him to their ranks.
The Spanish outlet understands that Bayern are even ready to pay the 17-year old's €50 million release clause. Barcelona were ideally expecting to offer Memphis Depay in a player-plus cash deal. However, the German giants' liking of Gavi makes the Catalans confident of getting Lewandowski in exchange for their midfielder.
The Bavarians are not the only ones keeping an eye on Gavi, with Liverpool and PSG also courting him. The Spaniard is a part of the long-term plans under Xavi but they will cash in on him if he decides not to renew the contract.
Robert Lewandowski is eager to secure a transfer to Barcelona
The Polish striker's contract will be up at Bayern Munich in 2023 and the sensible thing to do for the Bundesliga champions is make money from his sale. However, the Blaugrana are financially constrained and are unable to meet their asking price.
Amidst this, Lewandowski has made up his mind to move to Camp Nou and his agent Pini Zahavi is putting in the effort behind the scenes to get his client a transfer to Barcelona. According to Fabrizio Romano, Xavi has spoken directly twice to the Poland international and a contract until 2025 has been discussed.
A couple of days ago, Zahavi told BILD about Lewandowski's situation, via Fabrizio Romano:
"He wants to leave this summer, none of us care about the money. The truth is that he hasn't felt respected by the board since a few months now. Bayern lost Robert not only in as a footballer and as a person."
Meanwhile, the Bavarians are determined to hold on to their player, who still has a year remaining on his contract. It will be interesting to see how this transfer saga ends and which player gets shipped to Allianz Arena to bring the 33-year old centre-forward to Camp Nou.

u can't give up on someone who has been scoring 45+ for the past 4 to 5years .....this guy is the feature of Barcelona....coupled with the fact that he is going to play alongside aubameyang........The only good thing about Robert Lewandowski and any other attacker in the planet is he doesn't lose chances any how that's why I think he's even best than benzema.....there re 18 teams in the Bundesliga which therefore means lesser matches than in la Liga with 20teams......He has less matches played than benzema with 35goals in the Bundesliga...so just from this just understand.....benzema ll never ve season as this one anymore.....aubameyang came in February and ended with 14+ so imagine if he came at the beginning of the season....and aubameyang isn't worth Lewandowski....seriously guys let Barcelona not pass this opportunity....

You can have all the best tools in the world but if you don’t know how to used it properly, they are useless. That’s Barca right there :

Xavi stop that joke, we have other players need to leave this club; Barcelona believe that Gavi can make the difference on this club….. we need a generation change not Lewandowiski, we need Jesus form man city, if man city can give us Jesse it we’ll be ok for this club. We need to change the paradigm of modern football not old players .

We are always blaming player if they refuse to renew without considering the kind of offer made by the club. In life, everyone need a better offer, Barca board must know that the time for playing for free is over
It’s not about playing for free. He is 17 and hasn’t proved anything. But if his trade makes the team better then by all means get rid of him and bring in someone that wants to play for Barca.

The most useless club in the world now is Barcelona. 😌 How can you add a young promising talent like Gavi to a deal to go in for Lewandowski how
Easy, Barca has 50 more in the pipeline like Gavi or better coming out of La Masia

If Laporta does this, he would automatically become the next Bartomeu; how can he give away a young talent to get a 34 year old player? This doesn’t make any sense.
Laporta knows exactly what he’s doing. I remember when he came in 2002 and he’s on the same path. The players that don’t want to be in the team will be shipped out and cashed out and players that want to play for the badge will represent Barca. If Gavi wants to be a sacrificial player then be it. If for the good of the team then sell him. Lamasia has a pipeline of new talent waiting for their chance. It took Moriba to leave to show Pedi, Gavi and Nico this season. Am sure their are more down the pipeline.

I swear if laporta swap gavi will lewa..I will stop watching Barcelona until laporta leaves...😠
Why would you want a player that has no loyalty to his team but is only loyal to money. Look at Mbappe, you think he’s going to win anything or develop his skills and game staying in a farmers league. I know the two players don’t compare at all but money and greedy agents are destroying players.

I agree. Take him . Pay him what he wants. Give us Lewy .. good luck

Sounds like a good plan. Send Gavi to Bayern and bring in Lewy. Maybe it’ll teach Gavi a lesson about money and what it feels like setting on the bench for most of the season. He needs to take a step back and reevaluate his future. Money will come, but one wrong move and your carrier is going down the drain.
