The transfer of Robert Lewandowski from FC Bayern to FC Barcelona made waves.

But in the end he is not allowed to play at all?

The scenario threatens the Catalans.

Munich / Barcelona – Robert Lewandowski is gone, finally arrived in his dream league in Spain.

FC Barcelona fans are delighted to see him in blue and red after so much back and forth.

But the star newcomer from FC Bayern could stew permanently in the stands in a horror scenario for the Catalans.

Barca are heavily in debt - Lewandowski threatens the grandstand

Everyone in football in Europe knows that Barca is heavily in debt.

But the fact that there is even a possibility that newcomers like Lewandowski or Raphinha are sitting in the stands and cannot help their new club is new.

Alfredo Martinez from the Catalan radio station

reports on this case.

Clubs in La Liga are only allowed to spend 80 percent of their budget on salaries.

This should - a little late - prevent over-indebtedness and that the clubs can no longer pay their salaries.

Lewandowski and Raphinha are therefore over the limit.

That would not make them eligible to play.

The solution is potentially called Frenkie de Jong.

The Dutch top earner is on the sell list at Barcelona.

If De Jong leaves or accepts a pay cut, Lewandowski could be registered and could also feature for Barcelona.

Will Lewandowski be in the starting XI?

Currently there is a serious risk that he will only be a 50 million expensive viewer.

According to Martinez, Barca have a "big problem."

After the departure of Robert Lewandowski, Bayern are looking for a new nine.

Harry Kane is considered the top candidate.

A certain strategy should lead to success.
