Kucharski: 'Lewandowski comes to Barca to prove more than Benzema'
Benzema was the king of the Champions League scorer last season with 15 goals, more than two more than Lewandowski. This title and the championship of the number one European tournament of the club put Benzema in a position to be the most favorable to win the European Golden Ball 2022. Lewandowski also won and won the throne of the Champions League scorer in 2020, but slipped The Golden Ball that year when Covid-19 caused the voting not to take place. Lewandowski himself also wants to find a new challenge in his career after rising almost every glory of the club in Dortmund and Bayern. Coming to Spain for Barca and direct racing with Benzema in La Liga, it is the motivation to urge the 34 -year -old striker to leave Bayern, according to Kucharski.
"Lewandowski wants to prove himself better than Benzema. And that's another reason he wants to go to Barca," the old representative mentioned on the Radio Ser.
But according to Kucharski, Lewandowski has no specific dream. The Polish striker considered "playing football as a job and always performed with high professionalism". Lewandowski considers Real and Barca on the same level, despite Barca being struggling because of the financial crisis.
Lewandowski also contracted with Bayern until June 2023. The German team is demanding 63 million USD, but may have to lower the price to sell early. "Barca and Lewandowski will fight for this contract," Kucharski emphasized.
Lewandowski will turn 34 on August 21. The striker once scored 344 goals in 375 matches for Bayern to play for at least two peak years. After that, switching to the US could be the next journey. "His plan is Germany, then Spain and ending his career in the US," Kucharski revealed.
Meanwhile, La Liga President Javier Tebas said that Barca was urgently triggering two economic levers that had just been approved by the Members' Council. If done, the Camp Nou team will not lose in the fiscal year 2021-2022 and have money to sign big contracts like Lewandowski.
"I hope Lewandowski will play for Barca and play well. I also hope the levers that Barca activate enough to buy Lewandowski. He is the legend of Bayern and European football," Tebas praised.
