Guardiola questions how Barcelona can sign Lewandowski

Former Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola has questions over how the Spanish club can afford to sign Robert Lewandowski from Bayern. However, he also admitted that the Polish striker would be perfect for Barcelona.

"I have no idea, to be honest, but would he be a good fit?" Guardiola said at the Puma Legends Trophy, where he was set to play at Pula Golf Resort.

"We are talking about Lewandowski. He would adapt perfectly well anywhere.

"But I don't know if Barcelona can sign him because of their financial situation or if Bayern [Munich] will let him leave."

The Bayern striker is in the midst of a public dispute over his future with the Bundesliga champions, with the forward set on a move away, likely to Camp Nou.

But the Blaugranas have to pay a big amount to sign the prolific striker as Lewandowski’s contract with the German side will end in the next session and that was why Guardiola has thought that it would not be easy to watch him play in a Braca kit.

Earlier, Lewandowski told Bild, "I know what I had at FC Bayern and appreciate it very much. I also know that I have been doing my best for eight years not to disappoint the club and the fans. After this time, I feel it's time for a new stage."
