La Liga giants FC Barcelona are broke and in debt but are on the verge of paying € 50 million for Robert Lewandowski.
The cash-strapped club has reportedly reached a 'HERE WE GO' with Bayern Munich for the transfer of their legendary forward, as per Fabrizio Romano.
How can a skint club in such serious debts afford to pay €50m for a 33-year-old player just a few days after unveiling another player signed for €65m?
At this point, Pulse of the Day must ask this question; no be juju be that?

A few days ago, the Catalans, who are struggling to meet salary obligations, after getting some of their stars to accept a wage cut, splashed the cash to add samba boy Raphinha from Leeds United.
That deal to bring Raphinha cost over €65m on initial fee and add-ons and now, Lewandowski, with just a year left on his current deal at Bayern, is imminent for €50m.
Barca has also added Ivorian international Franck Kessie and Andreas Christensen, albeit both transfers on a free - which is more like it, if one is being honest.
This leaves another question, are Barcelona really broke or the club is pretending to be?
Chelsea confirm Koul-ibaly deal
Well, Chelsea has joined the rest to pay a high fee for a 30+ player after they confirmed the signing of Kalidou Koulibaly.
Early Saturday morning, the Blues released a statement to confirm the signing of Senegal's AFCON2021 winning captain, Koulibaly, from SSC Napoli.
The lion from Senegal has put pen to paper on a four-year deal worth €40m and will join international teammate, Edouard Mendy, at Stamford Bridge.
Now, Koulibaly is 31 years old and like Lewandowski, had a year left on his contract at Napoli.
But it does seem like this is the season for players ageing as fine wine as 30+ has become the new 20.
