Is Madrid better destination for Lewandowski?

Borussia Dortmund Training - UEFA Champions League Final

Why Real Madrid, not Bayern?

But when Lewandowski’s deal is already cruising towards the record German champions, then why should we drag The Vikings here?

Well firstly in Munich, there is abundant quality to add yet another one. Gomez, Mandzukic, Claudio Pizzaro and possibly Mario Gotze if Pep plays a false 9. Even after returning from injury, Mario Gomez has notched 11 goals this season, while Mandzukic is among the top goal hunters, Gomez has scored in every game he has played 90 minutes.

So clearly the duo will demand time to perform on the pitch and to make it even difficult for the Polish. Pizzaro’s blistering form as “super sub” is another name in the tally.

Also, Jurgen Klopp would love to ensure that his star player does not join the rival club until there is no further option in hand. Dortmund demanded from Madrid that they should reward him with similar fees and salary as done by Bayern, which obviously can be easily afforded by the capital giants.

Lewandowski vs Suarez

Meanwhile, Perez is on a hot pursuit of Liverpool forward Luis Suarez. With reports screaming that Galacticos may buy him for staggering $50 million+ deal. And why not, when someone scores 23 in league games in just 33 games even after the infamous ban, anyone would love to splash money.

But, if one can get a striker who has nearly scored as many as the later did in a reputed league, with half the price and a clean discipline record; wouldn’t you love to buy him?

Tactically speaking, Rob Lewandowski is just the counterpart of Karim Benzemaa; while the Frenchman can feed as well as hit the ball, Lewandowski likes to take control in his own hands. Although Luis Suarez also loves to do the same, but his gameplay is more similar to Benzema’s. So it may result in one of them shifting to target man’s role, if Suarez comes.

Apart from shifting roles, Luis may not find himself easy with La Liga’s side, as he will not enjoy the central role and regular starts as he did in Liverpool. He loves running around the field, wants constant supply of passes for himself. It is something which might not be fully delivered as Ronaldo is the man already enjoying that.

Adding his controversial stunts he pulls out, from his evil handball which paved way for his country into semi final of World cup 2010, to the racial abuse and of course, the love bite to Ivanovic (just kidding).

And for a team playing under such immense pressure and games which are extremely intense like one against Bayern Munich last season could catalyze his rage, making him a backfiring, frustrated and one who piles atrocities to help is team a bit.

Real Madrid needs a player who could act as a pacifier on the field, someone who can creditably act with nerves of steel. And surely, Malaga have not forgotten his last ditch efforts to save Dortmund from a near exit.

Verdict

Never forgetting the language support he will get from Ozil and Khedira, this move surely makes far more sense than one to Bayern does. But with time running out, Real should make an offer he can’t refuse…
