Since the departure of Luis Suarez, Liverpool have failed to lure someone as prolific as the Uruguayan international. One superstar striker who can surely match Luis’ goal scoring record is Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski.
The “superb” (Goal) Polish international rose to fame at Borussia Dortmund under the management of current Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.
The German manager is a huge admirer of the star striker and back in April, there were reports (Daily Star) claiming that Klopp made Lewandowski his top summer transfer target. However, losing the Europa League final meant that Liverpool failed to qualify for the Champions League and the rumors have since died down.
Now, reports (Daily Mail) suggest that the 27-year-old striker is looking to move to the Premier League and will be ready to join Liverpool on one main condition i.e. if and when the Anfield club returns to the Champions League.
As per the provided Mail link, Robert is a boy hood Liverpool supporter and likes the idea of re-uniting with his former boss Klopp at Anfield.
Last season, Lewandowski scored 42 goals and provided 7 assists in 51 games for the German champions.

We could be taking happiness to new levels . . . if we could get this guy to join us . . . but the lack of CL football is gonna be one Hell of a stumbling block. He might be thinking about moving next year so, if we get our heads from out of our arses and buy the three or four TOP quality players we need, you never know, we just might have CL footie the following year! Another CB, Hector to fill the LB role, the top-notch defensive midfielder I keep praying for and someone nothing less than superb for the right wing/right midfield area and we could be cooking on gas. So far, too many rumours about people who either I’ve never heard of or whose stats are only marginally better than mine when I was at school . . . fifty years ago and I was so bad I was always the last one chosen during games periods.
No, come on boys, let’s get serious here, get the chequebook out and sign some BIG cheques to show INTENT and ambition! By doing that we might just get some of the really big boys to come here instead of going to our rivals. Not rocket science, you know!
Having the best players does not mean or always bring success. A few seasons ago Real Madrid did just that and failed dreadfully. We need players with talent,desire,hunger and a willingness to build and achieve a life long legacy.as Klopp said help push the train not ride it.Most players have proven their abilities where they are and can go no further. Remember good young players are coming through .
If his one condition was that I had to sell my wife and children into slavery I’d be bundling them into my car – with the wife no doubt gagged to stop her moaning – and speeding towards the nearest slave auctions but, sadly, us getting into the CL might take a little longer! As mentioned elsewhere, on this subject, IF we sign superb players like Hector – who was, once again, superb against Poland – we can make the progress necessary to ultimately bring about our signing of players such as Lewendowski but, currently, I don’t see that level of commitment by the owners or management.
I’ll be disappointed if we spend less than £100m this summer, as the other top teams WILL be spending that much, and they will be buying players like Pogba, Griezemann, etc. and not players the vast majority of LFC fans, if they are being hones, have never heard of or know very little about.
This club is HUGE. We are certainly in the three or four top-supported clubs in the world with a fan-base spread around the globe. To prove that look, on YouTube, at the 93,000 LFC fans singing YNWA at the Melbourne Cricket Ground a few years ago, I’ve ever seen such support even at Anfield! A complete sea of red shirts and scarves. Brilliant.
We’ve got to catch, and then overtake, seven teams this coming year and we won’t do that by being tentative in the transfer market. We need to lay a marker down to tell the rest of the football world that LFC mean business this coming year . . .
Getting rid of the players we don’t really need would bring fifty million to the already huge transfer kitty. Let’s spend it!

Again, nobody mentions buying a team of super-stars as we’ve already got the basis of a very good team but two or three GOOD purchases now just might give us the push we need, the impetus, to make up the gap on the SEVEN teams currently better than us. I don’t care if people pull, push, ride on or blow-up the bloody train, I just want us to make a difference to next season so other teams are at least wary of us . . . after they’ve spent their £100m budgets. That ain’t gonna happen if we’ve got a team full of mad-keen twenty-year-olds with pictures of Thomas The Tank Engine on their shirts! Sod bloody trains! I’d sort of hope that giving somebody £100K every week might just make them willing to play with passion for the fans and the club . . .
Teams need a balance of youth and experience and we could cope with another couple of 25-year-olds at the peak of their footballing powers NOW!
You can spend all you want but you need to know what you’re buying. The proper fresh ingredients bakes the perfect cake and you don’t find it in a butcher shop now do you!
I’ve double-checked what I wrote and there is definitely no mention of buying useless players or wasting money. I sort of expected people to think along the lines of spending money wisely and frugally on the best talent available, be it players at the peak of their powers or young players just coming through.
The comment about “need to know what you’re buying” is rather strange for two reasons. Firstly, I’d assume the person choosing the new players had a decent footballing knowledge of who or what he was getting and, secondly, it is harder to know what you are getting with young players, many of whom look good as prospects but don’t do what is expected of them. Buying potential is always a risk.
With twenty-odd relatively poor seasons is it wrong to think about buying two or three players currently at the peak of their footballing prowess – such as Hector and Higuaín – to give us a chance of a trophy before I fall of the perch?
So that’s how it is, you’ll only join us if the current squad of players gets us back into the CL, so that you can come in a take the place of another player who helped us to get back in… Glory Hunters not willing to help you get to the top…
Right on brother.
Of all the teams in the world, it happening to my LFC. Since the day come to know football, my love has been LFC. have been wondering how we managed to fall from grace to grass and all this time, the owners and management of LFC are satisfied against the wishes and hopes of the supporters to frustrate the team eternally. If i had the flair of Lionel Messi, the effect of Ronaldo and the efficiency of Lewandowsyi, and at the same time Liverpool fc has been my boyhood club, there is only one thing I would do in a time like this when the team is at least having one of the best football coaches in the business. And that will be to come and play my best football and send the club back to Champions League if that is where i feel they should be. Lewandoswski’s condition to the team and the coach he claims he love is compared to a boy friend who tells the girlfriend ”i will marry you now if you become the queen of England”. If he really loved her, why didn’t he told her ”i will marry you and together we will team up to see to it that you become the queen of England? Can somebody tell me what love is?
As Brian says, You don’t always need big name players to reach your high achievements, Klopp has never done so in the past at clubs, so y would he change now! Besides, u don’t need a better example than Leicester City, all you need r players who believe in you and have hunger and desire. YNWA
