Juventus Cool on Lewandowski as Wage Demands Stall Serie A Pursuit

Barcelona have put a one-year, lower-salary role on the table.

Overview

  • Juventus have grown hesitant about signing Robert Lewandowski, with multiple reports citing his age and the total cost of the deal.
  • Agent Pini Zahavi spent several days in Milan meeting Italian clubs, keeping AC Milan in the frame as he tests the Serie A market.
  • Corriere dello Sport, via Football Italia, reports Lewandowski is seeking about €8 million net per year, which has paused talks with Juventus and Milan under their tighter wage rules.
  • Barcelona have offered a one-year extension with a reported 50% pay cut and a rotation role, even as the club scouts long-term striker options.
  • Dusan Vlahovic’s stalled Juventus talks and his willingness to lower wages for a possible backup role at Barcelona link the clubs’ plans, with a Lewandowski decision expected before his June 30 contract expiry.
