According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona are set to sign striker Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich. Fans of the Catalan outfit are understandably excited and took to Twitter to share their delight at the news.
The Blaugrana have already signed center-back Andreas Christensen from Chelsea and midfielder Franck Kessie from AC Milan on free transfers. They've also signed winger Raphinha from Leeds United.
Ousmane Dembele has signed a new contract, which will keep him at the club for another two years.
After an underwhelming last season, Barcelona look set to challenge for trophies in the upcoming season under manager Xavi Hernandez.
They finished second in La Liga last season, a massive 13 points behind arch-rivals Real Madrid. They were also eliminated early from domestic cup competitions and in the Champions League group stages. They reached the semi-finals of the Europa League but were eliminated by Eintracht Frankfurt.
Hence, the club's fans are optimistic about the new signings this summer. Here are some of their reactions after the news of Lewandowski's signing broke out:
As per Romano's report, Lewandowski, 33, will join the Spanish side over the weekend. The Poland international has registered an incredible 344 goals and 72 assists in 375 matches for Bayern in all competitions since joining them in 2014 from rivals Borussia Dortmund.
Lewandowski has won FIFA's The Best Men's Player award twice and the UEFA's Best Player in Europe award once.
Barcelona and Manchester City reach agreement over Bernardo Silva
According to journalist Gerard Romero (via Forbes), Barcelona have reached an agreement with Manchester City over the transfer of midfielder Bernardo Silva.
The transfer fee will be less than €80 million. However, a transfer would only be possible after the potential exit of midfielder Frenkie de Jong.
The Catalans have agreed on €75 million plus €10 million add-ons for the transfer of De Jong to Manchester United. The Blaugrana are desperate to sell the Dutchman this summer and have even threatened not to include him on their pre-season tour in the US.
They are looking to get back the €75 million they spent on signing De Jong from Ajax in 2019.
