Rebuilding recruits veterans, and the reason is clear: Harvey needs world-class top scorers, and Levan is the answer
Polish striker Lewandowski is now a foregone conclusion with Barca, who will be the central figure of the Catalan giants in the front line in the new season. However, Levan is about to turn 34 years old, and the transfer fee is indeed expensive, which has led to a certain controversy in this signing. After all, Barca are a team that needs to be rebuilt, and obviously the rebuilt team needs to be guaranteed for the future, and it is no problem for a veteran like Levan to maintain a season or two at the peak, but it is obviously impossible to guarantee the team's offensive firepower in the next five or even ten years.
However, different people have different views on this, and Marc Behrenbeck, a reporter for German Sky TV, talked about this issue and gave his own views. He believes that the main reason why Barca are eager to sign Levan is that Xavi needs a world-class striker, and Levan is the guarantee of scoring goals. The Polish striker can score 30+ or more goals in a season, which is the top firepower that Barca need today.
In addition, the reporter also talked about a key point of Levan's willingness to join Barca, he believes that whether it is joining Real Madrid or going to Barca, it is also a dream for the players themselves, especially for Levan, to play in Spain. So from this reporter's point of view, it is not difficult to understand the conclusion of this contract. Barca wanted to bring in a top striker to score goals, while Levan wanted to go to the Iberian Peninsula to play, and the two sides finally hit it off.
While Barca's performance in Europe has declined in recent years, this club is still the top club in football and its appeal to top players has not waned. And Levan is the same, it is true that age will become a resistance to his progress in the future, but after all, the Polish Shenfeng is not a player who relies on his body to rely on speed and explosiveness, and his small skills in shooting will not decline with age, and he can still look forward to a few years at the peak.
The club wanted a goal-scoring maniac, while the players wanted to join a top club, and in the end, Barca and Levan signed.
