LaLiga president Javier Tebas has reportedly shut down speculation that Robert Lewandowski could join Barcelona this summer.
Speaking to Spanish publication Marca, Tebas claims that the Catalan side’s financial situation in recent years could scupper their plans of signing the striker from Bayern Munich.
Xavi is determined to bring the 33-year-old to the Nou Camp and Lewandowski, who sees his contract at Bayern expire at the end of next season, has told the club that he won’t be signing a new extension in hope of joining the LaLiga side.

‘Lewandowski has a year left at Bayern, between what he wants to earn and what Bayern want as a fee, I don’t see him at Barcelona.’
Tebas was also asked whether the potential sale of Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong, could help them in their quest to sign Lewandowski.
The Dutch midfielder has been linked with a move away from the club, with Manchester United said to be interested.
