When will Barcelona present Robert Lewandowski at the Camp Nou?
the league
In Spain they are euphoric about the signing of Robert Lewandowski by Barcelona. Although he has already played some friendly matches, he was not formally introduced. When and how will the event be?
The arrival of Robert Lewandowski in Barcelona was one of the most impressive news in this transfer market because the forward made a great effort to generate his departure from Bayern Munich. Although it is true that it took a long time to be able to disassociate himself from the German team, the Pole was finally able to be signed for 50 million euros. Obviously, being a striker who scored 50 goals last season, he is one of the best signings in recent years for the culé institution.
In addition, Barcelona made another series of contracts to carefully improve the squad of Xavi Hernández, who now has a lot of tools to return the club to absolute prominence. In fact, in the series of friendlies that the Blaugrana are playing in Las Vegas, United States, the team is showing a high level and so are the signings. Above all Raphinha, who was key scoring a goal from the door of the area in the pre-season classic that was played against Real Madrid.
Despite the fact that Lewandowski has not yet changed to convert in the only friendly in which he was able to participate, it is clear that he will still have to get used to the team since he has only had a couple of training sessions. The footballer himself declared after the match against Real Madrid that it will take him 2 or 3 weeks to get used to Barcelona’s style of play. The game ahead of him will be against the next Juventus on July 26, where it is very likely that he will have many minutes to continue picking up the pace.
When will Robert Lewandowski be officially introduced?
One of the big questions that the culés fans asked themselves was when they were going to present the Pole, since they barely got past sealing his arrival, he had to travel to the United States to join the preseason. And since the arrival of Joan Laporta, it has become customary for all signings to be presented at the Spotify Camp Nou. Therefore, until a few hours ago there was no concrete information about the event that Barcelona is planning to present its new star.
As reported by the club, Robert Lewandowski will have his presentation event on August 5 at the stadium and it will be an open public event. The plan is that the Camp Nou is for sale as it is one of the best players in the world. At the same time, Barcelona fans are aware of the enormous effort made by the footballer to reach the institution, so his intention is to return that gesture in his presentation.
Another of the great unknowns surrounding the arrival of Lewandowski has to do with the number that he secured throughout the season. Because he arrived late for the preseason, Memphis Depay is the one currently wearing number 9, so the Pole had to wear number 12 when he faced Real Madrid and it is the one he will wear in the rest of the friendlies. However, the official competition is expected to change to his characteristic number, regardless of Depay’s continuity.
