There is a certain secret connection between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, even though they are fierce rivals on the field. It has almost become a rule rather than an exception between them that in every transfer window, some players, even big stars, move from one camp to the other. Without delving too far into history, in the last year, players such as Joao Felix, Antoine Griezmann, Memphis Depay and Arda Turan have circulated between these two clubs.The reports that link Robert Lewandowski to Atletico Madrid: pic.twitter.com/fDfXKQJlCv— BarçaTimes (@BarcaTimes) March 20, 2024 And this June, a ‘hat-trick’ could happen when it comes to the “number nines.” As Catalan ‘Sport’ writes, Atletico is very interested in bringing in Robert Lewandowski in the next transfer window. The experienced Pole, aged 35, has a contract until June 2026, and he has indicated that he would gladly extend his loyalty to Barcelona for a few more seasons after that, but… The problem is that the Catalan giant still struggles seriously with money. The salary of the Polish striker this season is 13,000,000 euros net, while it will increase to 16,000,000 in the next one, and Barcelona is already scratching their heads about what to do. And as ‘Sport’ writes, they are not far from deciding to sell Lewandowski.Lewa’s vanity forces him to downplay Kane’s scoring formAtletico is waiting eagerly, as they desperately need a “number nine.” Alvaro Morata is having a good season, but Memphis Depay is quite unreliable. Lewandowski would be the third Barcelona forward to move to Atletico in Diego Simeone’s tenure, before him, David Villa and Luis Suarez went in the same direction. Will it happen? We shall see soon…##NAJAVA_MECA_7971249##
