Villas-Boas on Lewandowski, clear: “Out of FC Porto’s financial reach” | OneFootball

The rumor linking Robert Lewandowski to FC Porto was quickly addressed by André Villas-Boas, who, although pleased to see the club associated with one of the biggest figures in world football, made a point of putting the club’s finances into perspective.

“For us, it is a source of pride for FC Porto to be associated with a football legend like Lewandowski,” said the blue-and-white president, before stressing why the idea is nothing more than an unrealistic scenario: “Obviously, as you can imagine, the financial burden of a player of that stature is beyond FC Porto’s reach. That is the first thing that seems clear to me.”

With three Polish players already in the squad — a detail that has helped raise the Dragon’s profile — Villas-Boas acknowledged the relevance of that connection, but insisted that the financial issue is decisive. “We have three Polish players in the team, which is our main attraction at the moment, but a player like Lewandowski is completely beyond FC Porto’s financial means,” he concluded emphatically.
