Lewy is asking Bayern for 30 million.


The length of the contract is the sticking point apparently not the salary hike.

No way is he taking a pay cut to join Barca. Jist doesn't make any sense for his career.

that is 30 gross and I would be pissed if they pay that; its time to let him go

70m is definitely expensive and a huge risk.

Baked into that price is 20-25m of hype alone, hype that emerged very recently.

I'm done with expensive high risk transfers. If our scouts and analysts sit down and watch all his games from the past 3 years and deem it worth to spend 70m, then I'm on board.

What I don't like is buying a hyped player due to 1 good season.

Not long ago Benfica fans were very frustrated with his performances.

He cost Benfica 25M€ for 80%.. from Almeria (second division club) that was also a Risk for a clube like Benfica.. huge amout of money. At that time there were alot of clubs interested. Benfica Rejected 50M€ in January ( Arsenal) now he is even worth more.. and there is alot of demand at this moment many TOP clubs want a Forward. You cannot separate price , demand and age ... 70M€ it is a fair price, other forwards will cost even more.

Newcastle offered 60m for him. Probably will raise it upon being rejected. They have the money after all, it will be interesting to see if he is willing to join them.

Lot of big clubs interested in this guy. He reminds me a bit of young, raw Carlos Tevez(taller and more physical version).

His hold up play is a well documented weakness. A technical shortcoming. He has unsophisticated decision making but that can improve with time. You get the sense that everything is sped up in his mind and there's an accute need for him to be a bit calmer (especially when pressed), consistent with his application, more judicious with his on the ball choices in the final third because a lot of Benfica's attacks come to a halt as a direct consequence of his miscalculations. Won't ever be a Benzema type savant in that regard bit still very raw and young; can improve.
He's almost as physically gifted as Haaland with the killer combination of pace and strength.

For the shorter term, he should be deployed as a centre forward who presses from the front while making frantic defensive line-breaking runs to stretch the opponents. This is his main strength(similar to Vardy and Haaland).

Do not expect him to have playmaking abilities which will improve the game of attackers around him or be a significant factor in the collective build up of the team.

Think of him as a Lukaku/Haaland-Vardy hybrid with exceptional work rate.

Despite lacking the overall calmness, tbis guy has a great finish and knows where the back of the net is.

His mobility means he can carry counter attacks or make incisive movements around the box.

He has a knack of creating shots from weird angles and hammering through the ball.

His first touch is weak and he's not that strong in aerial duels.

He's pretty good at carrying the ball and accelerating with it at times. He can run down the left channels of the pitch very well.

His shooting power is reminiscent of Podolski. He's a total workhorse.

Talented center forwards get hyped the fastest, all of them. Chances to sign a non-hyped cheap player in this position that is gonna explode are minute. In other positions, you can get more lucky, but here... it's hard.

Agree. As soon as you have a good goalscoring season, hype and widespread interest immediately follows. Especially in today's market when there's a severe lack of brilliant goalgetters.
