Robert Lewandowski concerned Barcelona are repeating Frenkie de Jong sale trick | OneFootball

Barcelona star Robert Lewandowski has been left concerned by recent ongoings behind the scenes at the club.

That’s according to journalist Helena Condis, who points towards Lewandowski as suspecting the Blaugrana brass of foul play.

The subject of Lewandowski’s future has of course continued to position itself front and centre in the headlines in Spain over the course of recent weeks.

As much comes amid contrasting reports when it comes to Barcelona’s plans for the veteran attacker.

Whilst some outlets have assured that Xavi and his coaching staff are more than happy to keep hold of ‘Lewa’ beyond the summer, others have pointed towards a sale as being actively sought out.

This comes owing to the considerable dent which the Pole’s hefty wages are set to leave in Barca’s finances with a view to next season.

And, as per the aforementioned Helena Condis, speaking during an appearance on Catalunya Ràdio this week, such murmurs have given rise to concern on the part of Lewandowski and his entourage.

The 35-year-old is understood to be worried that Barcelona are following a similar path to that taken with Frenkie de Jong back in 2022.

Amid efforts to essentially force De Jong to depart in the face of a big-money offer from Premier League giants Manchester United, the board at the Camp Nou were accused of undertaking a number of shady measures, including leaking the details of their midfielder’s contract to the press.

And Lewandowski fears a similar situation could be on the cards for him over the months ahead, albeit with the former Bayern Munich man adamant that he will not be forced out under any circumstances.
