Barcelona veteran offered to lower his salary to help the club financially – report

In a recent revelation from Tot Costa, it has come to light that Robert Lewandowski took a proactive step to support Barcelona’s financial situation. 

The Polish striker, who joined the club with high expectations, reportedly suggested a significant change to his contract in order to ease the club’s ongoing financial pressures.

Lewandowski, understanding the economic challenges Barcelona are facing, proposed an adjustment to his current deal with the club. 

This proposal was put forward to Joan Laporta, Barcelona’s president, in what appears to be a genuine effort to assist the club during these tough financial times.

What did Lewandowski propose?

One of the key elements discussed in this proposed modification was the possibility of reducing his current salary. 

This would be a notable gesture from the star player, showing his commitment to the club’s future beyond just his personal gain.

However, to balance this reduction, the suggestion also included extending his contract until 2027. 

By doing so, Lewandowski would still be under contract with Barcelona for a longer period, potentially providing him with long-term security while also offering the club some immediate financial relief.

The idea behind this proposal is simple yet effective: by lowering his salary now, Barcelona would be able to manage their financial resources better, all while ensuring that Lewandowski remains a key part of the team for years to come. 

This could be seen as a win-win situation, where both the club and the player benefit in different ways. Interestingly, this came at a time when Barcelona were struggling to register new signing Dani Olmo.

While this proposal has not been executed yet, it underscores Lewandowski’s dedication to the team and his willingness to make personal sacrifices for the greater good of the club.

It also highlights the ongoing efforts by Barcelona’s management to navigate the financial challenges that have plagued the club in recent years.
