Although Joan Laporta insisted during the presentation of Robert Lewandowski that the fourth lever was in reserve just in case and they were confident that they would not have to resort to it, Barcelona already know that they are going to need it.
Those in charge of this issue in the Catalan institution already know that the figures they have presented will not be enough. They will need to activate the fourth lever and do something else.
In fact, MARCA have already explained here that the Catalan giants will need, in addition to this fourth lever, to sell Memphis Depay and do something with Frenkie de Jong: either a substantial reduction in his salary or a transfer this summer.
Laporta himself acknowledged a certain unease about some of the signings when he negotiated their incorporation. For example, this was the case with Lewandowski.
In fact, in order to reassure the Pole, he was promised that he would be the first to be registered. In principle, according to club sources, his participation from day one is not in danger.
