"Joan, is Lewandowski coming or not?" The Camp Nou chief replied: "This one has a better chance of coming, yes."

Should Robert Lewandowski ends up joining Barcelona in the summer, then the Spanish team will be more stronger with the pairing of him and Aubameyang.

Stunning reason Barcelona forward refused to play for the Black Stars drops

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Memphis Depay turned down an approach by the Ghana Football Association to have him named in the Black Stars squad due to his father.

The Barcelona attacker was born to a Ghanaian father and a Dutch mother, thus the 28-year-old was eligible to play for the Black Stars.

But Depay, who has Ghanaian dual citizenship, Ghana and the Netherlands, chose to represent the European powerhouse, the country of his birth.

In an interview with the BBC back in 2021, Depay made a stunning revelation that he was abandoned by his father, Dennis Depay, when he was a kid.

Depay, however, has set up charity organisations in Ghana to embark on various projects.

He first visited the West African country in 2019 and donated sporting equipment to the Cape Coast Deaf and Blind school and the Ghana Blind Sports Association.
