Lewandowski’s team clarifies the story about the change of chef in Barcelona: “A joke in bad taste”

Reports have recently emerged suggesting that Barcelona are looking for a new chef to staff the men’s first team, reportedly at the request of manager Hansi Flick.

These claims arose from suggestions that Robert Lewandowski had expressed dissatisfaction with the current kitchen arrangements, allegedly asking the manager to bring in a new culinary professional for the team.

However, those close to the Polish striker have flatly dismissed these rumours.

Nothing was said about that

It seems the speculation gained steam due to its date, coinciding with April Fool’s Day, a period known for funny and often exaggerated stories in Spain.

Lewandowski’s influence on the club’s catering decisions was seen by his representatives as unfounded and potentially damaging.

According to people close to the striker, the idea of ​​his involvement in such matters is not only unfounded but is also very far from his real priorities.

“April Fool’s Day was recently celebrated in Spain and I see the idea that journalists are creating stories about Robert Lewandowski’s participation in the club’s catering as a joke,” said those close to the player quoted by Mundo Deportivo.

“Even so, it is a joke in bad taste, which unfortunately has reached the media.” they added.

Lewandowski focused on his performance

Lewandowski’s attention remains firmly focused on football. As Barcelona prepares for the critical second half of the season, he is dedicated to performing at his best and contributing to the team’s success.

The Polish international has always been characterized by his professionalism, prioritizing his fitness, performance and team cohesion over off-field distractions.

“During our time in Spain, we have learned not to take many media stories too seriously, and this is another example.

“The truth is that Robert Lewandowski is totally focused on preparing for the second half of the season and, together with the entire team, demonstrating his quality on the field.”

The timing of these claims, along with the context of April Fools’ Day, suggests that the story may have been sensationalized or blown out of proportion.

Regardless, Lewandowski’s representatives have stressed that he is fully committed to his role on the pitch.
