Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski speaks out on Serie A transfer | OneFootball

Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski has been linked with a switch to the Serie A in recent weeks and the player was questioned about the links recently.

The Polish striker spoke to Gazzetta dello Sport’s SportWeek supplement and he was asked about his future and whether he has previously been close to a switch to the Serie A.

His current contract at Barcelona runs out in the summer, with the Catalan side yet to commit to a potential renewal.

The veteran told the Italian outlet that he isn’t thinking about his next possible destination yet.

He said – via Calciomercato: “Honestly, there’s nothing to say about my future today , I’m being sincere. The goal is to get to the end of the season with as many wins, goals and titles as possible. Then we’ll see. I’m not thinking about it and I haven’t decided, it’s not a priority at the moment.”

He revealed that Genoa did try to sign him during his time at Borussia Dortmund and they had also scouted him extensively, even if nothing off it.

“Have you ever been close to Serie A? In 2010, I was still in Poland and was about to join Borussia Dortmund. Genoa wanted to sign me , so they invited me to a match against Sampdoria. I was curious to see what the club, the stadium, and the atmosphere were like. Also to be fair to those who had shown interest in me, I came to watch the derby at Marassi. That was the only time I’ve ever dealt with an Italian team.”

He also had praise for the Serie A and how competitive the general nature of the game is in Italy.

“I see the Italian league as very competitive , it’s usually hard-fought and the same team doesn’t always win. In the Champions League you had Juventus in the finals and then Inter in the finals, it doesn’t seem to be in crisis to me.”

This does appear to be a signal from Lewandowski to potentially Juventus and Milan to make moves for him. Usually, a player at a Spanish club is unlikely to speak to the Italian press unless there is a transfer goal in mind.
