Apparently, a decision has been made when it comes to Robert Lewandowski. As the “Picture” reported, the 33-year-old striker will leave FC Bayern by the end of his contract in 2023 at the latest. Last week, the Pole informed the record champions that he did not want to extend his contract again. He even wanted to leave immediately. Also in order not to have to let Lewandowski go free of charge, an immediate sale is again an issue this summer.
“As I said before, we will have talks,” said sports director Hasan Salihamidzic when asked by the newspaper on the subject. According to reports, Lewandowski is annoyed that those talks did not take place for a long time. And angry that his employer is said to have vehemently advertised for BVB striker Erling Haaland (21), who will now use his exit clause for a transfer to Manchester City.
