"Earlier today, reports surfaced suggesting that AC Milan were preparing a strong attempt to lure Robert Lewandowski away from Barcelona in a swap deal involving Christopher Nkunku. The rumour quickly gained traction, hinting at a major twist in the transfer narrative surrounding the Polish striker. However, Mundo Deportivo has now clarified that sources close to Lewandowski categorically dismiss any chance of negotiations taking place between the clubs over such an exchange."
"The timing of the speculation is significant, as Barcelona are already deep into the process of shaping next season's squad. The club has several strategic decisions to make, and one of the most sensitive concerns the future of the number '9' position. Time for Barcelona to act In that regard, Deco and the sporting department must decide whether Lewandowski's contract, which expires at the end of the season, should be extended or allowed to run out."
"From Milan's perspective, the idea of a swap gained momentum partly because Lewandowski appears to be losing his previously unquestioned status within the team. Ferran Torres' rise under Hansi Flick has shifted the dynamic at the top of Barcelona's attack, prompting some observers to interpret this as an opening for the Italian club to make a move. This shift, combined with Barcelona's long-term planning, created fertile ground for speculation, even if it now seems to be unfounded."
AC Milan considered pursuing Robert Lewandowski in a swap involving Christopher Nkunku, but sources close to Lewandowski dismissed any negotiations between the clubs. Barcelona are shaping next season's squad and must decide the future of the number nine role. Deco and the sporting department must determine whether to extend Lewandowski's expiring contract or allow it to run out, which would free a major salary slot. Ferran Torres' rise under Hansi Flick has altered Barcelona's attacking dynamics and reduced Lewandowski's unquestioned status. The Nkunku connection intensified speculation, but the player's inner circle denies any talks or swap plans.
