That would be a real hammer: legendary striker Robert Lewandowski is reportedly on the wish list of a real Premier League giant after his departure from FC Barcelona. Although the Pole would only be a temporary solution, the club has had good experiences with one in the past.
The US MLS or the Saudi Pro League have been considered the most likely starting points for Robert Lewandowski in recent weeks after his contract with FC Barcelona expired and was no longer renewed.
The Pole himself also stated that a move to a smaller league was an option for him. But he didn’t get any more specific. Instead, he played for time and said he was in no hurry to make his decision.
Lewandowski on striker shortlist
A real giant club from the Premier League could now make his decision easier. As the portal “Caught Offside” speculates, the 37-year-old could end up at Manchester United as a temporary solution.
The Red Devils finally want to part ways with Joshua Zirkzee in the summer and are looking for a new number 9. According to the report, the preferred candidate is Victor Osimhen (Galatasaray). Dušan Vlahović (Juventus) is also reportedly part of the shortlist, which also includes Jean-Philippe Mateta (Crystal Palace) – and also Lewandowski.
Does Lewandowski do like Zlatan?
Although the Polish superstar would not be a man for the future, he could act as an immediate help and a leader for the younger players. Zlatan Ibrahimovic also moved to Old Trafford in a similar role in 2016. He was two years younger than Lewandowski at the time of the transfer and quickly proved his value to the team.
United legend Rio Ferdinand has already been promoting a Lewandowski transfer on his YouTube channel and said it would be “not a bad option” for his former club. “That would be a sensible transfer, even if the salary figures could be a bit crazy. If you want to strengthen the squad, he would be a great personality,” said Ferdinand in favor of a deal.
