Juventus have opened talks with Robert Lewandowski’s agent to explore a potential move for the Polish striker to Serie A next season. Although Barcelona are keen to retain the 38-year-old, the player is reportedly open to a new challenge in the twilight of his career.
According to Calciomercato, Juve made it clear during the meeting that the financial demands of the deal are currently too high for the club to proceed immediately. The Bianconeri are eager to add an experienced goal-scorer to their attack to help them return to the top of Italian football. However, the ability to sign the former Bayern Munich star largely depends on securing Champions League qualification for next season.
The Champions League spot will directly influence Juve’s financial flexibility and transfer market appeal. Without the revenue from Europe’s top competition, the club would struggle to afford the investment required for Lewandowski’s transfer. The club is currently focused on a strong finish to the season to ensure European qualification before pursuing major signings.
Juventus are not alone in the race. AC Milan are also considered strong contenders and have held multiple discussions with the player’s camp. Barcelona, while willing to keep Lewandowski, are demanding that he accept a salary reduction. The final destination remains uncertain, with the Polish striker’s next move still up in the air.
