Barcelona President Joan Laporta confirmed Thursday that the Catalan club made an offer to Bayern Munich, the German champions in the past ten seasons, to sign its Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, hoping that he would get a "positive response."
Laporta said during the presentation ceremony of the Danish defender Andreas Christensen, the newcomer to Barcelona, that "we made an offer for the player and we are waiting for the answer, and we will see if it will be positive." "We thank the player (Lewandowski) for all the things he did to show his desire to come" to Barcelona.
Laporta did not specify the value of the contract, denying the rumors that the German club, which fears the financial hardship that the Catalan club is going through, wants the latter to pay the value of the deal immediately. And he added, "I don't believe it, I think it was false information and it was a joke, it does not come from Bayern."
And German media had indicated at the end of June, that Barcelona offered 40 million euros, in addition to 5 million euros in rewards, to Bayern to contract with the heart of its attack.
"We made an offer and they should evaluate it," Laporta said, without elaborating. For his part, Barcelona technical advisor Jordi Cruyff, who was also present during Christensen's presentation on Thursday, confirmed that the departure of French defender Clement Langler had been activated.
"We are very close to leaving (Langler), and that will be announced when it is official," he added. According to the Catalan press, Langley is close to signing a loan deal with Tottenham Hotspur for next season.
