Bayern's reply to Lewandowski is still awaited by Barca

"You know we made an offer for Lewandowski, and we await Bayern's reply. I would like to express my gratitude to the player for his gestures. Joan Laporta said this Thursday that they must be reviewing the offer and are still waiting for an answer. The maximum president cule does not hide its interest in the Polish striker, and will wait to activate the second economic lever in order to keep moving forward in the section on signings this summer.

Lewandowski's negotiations continue in the direction that Barcelona is most interested. The footballer has now declared his intention to leave Bayern. Now it is Laporta's entity that has made the move forward. They publicly acknowledged the negotiations for a player and said that they are open to incorporating him even before activating the second economic leve. We will not include more players until we have the 15% television rights second lever. This is the general rule. However, there could be exceptions. He acknowledged this when he was asked by the Polish striker.

Throughout the welcome ceremony for Andreas Christensen (Barca's second signing) Lewandowski's name hung over the atmosphere. "I want to see the fans at the stadium. I'm excited to get started. It's a dream coming true, the Barca footballer said at his debut. This Thursday, the Danish central defender arrived from Chelsea for zero cost. He joins Franck Kessel in the list cule reinforcements that Xavi can count on starting now in the preseason.

Christensen (26 years old) signed his contract as a Blaugrana in the Camp Tito Vilanova, Ciutat Esportiva. You could see a happy player facing the new challenge ahead. His contract will last until 2026 and has a termination clause worth 500 million euros. He wrote when he was eight that he wanted Barca to be his team. We are grateful for players who have dreams of coming to Barca. Barca is very grateful for his will to be here. I also want to thank everyone who worked on this incorporation. We are delighted that he has signed with us.

The new central defender for Barcelona stood before the media, without any number, and waited, just like Franck Kessie. Christensen is confident that Christensen will be able to adapt to the Blaugrana philosophy if he succeeds. Xavi hasn’t asked me anything special. I’m here because I’ve been a good footballer. Every week, all the players want to be out on the pitch. The competition is good because it will help me improve. But I feel that I fit in well with Barca's style of play, so I don’t need to change anything," said the center-back.

Christensen arrives in a Barcelona, which has made it its goal to restore the entire defensive plot. Xavi had already informed Umtiti and Lenglet more than a month before that he didn’t count on them. Gerard Pique was also told that he would be relegated back to the background. Jordi Cruyff recognized that the former Sevilla player is a foot and half outside. "We are very close to an exit," said the cule club's sports advisor. Umtiti is still looking for a destination, even if it means a transfer.

Christensen is enthused to be Xavi's 11th player. The Dane was an integral part of Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea plans last season, where he played 34 matches. He might not be the final in a defense where the club plans to add Jules Kounde as well as his former teammates Marcos Alonso, Cesar Azpilicueta. "Chelsea's ownership change slows down everything a bit. The thing that has most struck me is the way the players, when they hear Barca's name, open their eyes and show pride.
