PSG and Chelsea have been informed of Robert Lewandowski’s imminent Barça move

Posted on by

According to Fabrizio Romano, both Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain have been informed of Robert Lewandowski’s imminent move to Barcelona. The two clubs have been told that the Polish striker’s move to Catalonia is in the final stages – with the player only intending to move to Barcelona. Lewandowski agreed personal terms with Barcelona four months ago, and will sign a three-year deal at the club. 

RMC Sport reported earlier this week that Barcelona met Bayern Munich’s asking price of €50m in what was the Catalonian side’s third bid for the forward. Paris Saint-Germain considered Lewandowski as the club’s number one target in their search for a striker this summer – PSG director Antero Henrique held talks with the players’ agents at the end of last month. 

However, the move was always dependant on talks between Bayern Munich and Barcelona breaking down – it looks certain that PSG will miss out on their ‘dream’ signing of the summer. The Parisian side have been looking at other options, such as Sassoulo’s Gianluca Scamacca (22) and Reims’ Hugo Ekitiké (20) – the club have reached an agreement with the latter today and are on the verge of signing the young striker as a back-up option to Kylian Mbappé.

Hill: ‘I’d get Alonso to defend me in a murder charge!’

Damon Hill praised Fernando Alonso for the Aston Martin driver’s remarkable sharpness and presence of mind amid the chaos that unfolded on the second restart in Melbourne last weekend.

As cars veered off course or into the gravel trap at the first corner after the second red flag, Alonso was tagged into spin by the Ferrari of Carlos Sainz.

The Aston charger survived the contact but as he collected himself, the Spaniard fell from third all the way to the back of the field.

No sooner had Alonso got going than there was carnage up ahead as both Alpine drivers eliminated themselves, a crash that brought out the second red flag of the day.

However, while many believed that the cars would line up behind the safety car in the order in which they had survived the commotion, Alonso radioed in to signal to his crews that the order should be rolled back to the grid positions at the restart, referring to last year’s British Grand Prix as a precedent.

This proved to be the correct procedure, but Hill was amazed by Alonso’s vigilance and alertness.

“We were making a joke that he should be a lawyer,” Hill joked on the F1 Nation podcast. “I’d get him to defend me in a murder charge!”

“It’s boring driving the car, he needs something else to do. He’s going around going, ‘Can I do the strategy as well? Give me more information.’

“He already understands the rules. You’d expect someone who’s been in Formula 1 as long as he has and had all the experiences to have learned something, but you can’t automatically assume that.”

Hill noted that Alonso’s savviness was not unlike the farsighted intelligence of one Michael Schumacher.

“He’s invested in this, he understands it, and he knows, like Michael Schumacher as well,” added the 1996 F1 World Champion.

“Michael Schumacher understood where the openings were, where the opportunities were, and he took advantage of those, and it’s the same with Fernando.

“He’s got to become a team boss eventually, because he’d be brilliant. He just understands this game.”
