Robert Lewandowski wants to leave FC Bayern early this summer. However, the German record champion has so far stood in the way. In a certain constellation, the Munich transfer veto could allegedly be lifted. Meanwhile, there is said to be a verbal agreement with FC Barcelona.
As the usually well-informed transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims to have learned, Robert Lewandowski has agreed to a change with FC Barcelona. More precisely: there is apparently an oral agreement on the terms of the contract. Accordingly, the Polish national player should sign a three-year contract until 2025.
His financial demands are not a problem for the Catalans, they say. But how does FC Bayern react to the world footballer’s request to change? According to “Sky”, Lewandowski was probably suggested by Munich that he could leave the club if Sasa Kalajdzic and Sadio Mané came to Säbener Straße.
The two attackers are currently being traded around FC Bayern as hot candidates for a possible Lewandowski successor. Kalajdzic’s advisor was in Munich for talks last week. VfB Stuttgart is apparently demanding around 20 to 25 million euros for its center forward. However, Kalajdzic is also traded at BVB, possibly even more intensively than at Bayern.
FC Bayern is looking for other alternatives
Mané, meanwhile, would be a little more expensive than Kalajdzic. The 30-year-old could probably leave Liverpool for less than 50 million euros. A transfer to FC Bayern is “a serious option” for the Senegalese.
Even in the event of a Mané cancellation, a Lewandowski sale should not be completely ruled out. Should this scenario occur, FC Bayern would allegedly look for another attacker in addition to Kalajdzic.
According to “Sky”, Lewandowski’s whereabouts at Bayern Munich are not set in stone. As well as reporting that the 33-year-old is already in agreement with Barca in principle, there are also reports that Real Madrid could also be a possible target.
Hoeneß expects Lewandowski to stay
In recent weeks, however, those responsible at FC Bayern have repeatedly put a stop to a transfer.
“I don’t currently know anyone at Bayern Munich who would release Robert from his contract prematurely,” said Honorary President Uli Hoeneß RTL/ntv interview to the debate about the world footballer who is willing to change.
In any case, the decision-makers around sports director Hasan Salihamidzic have an exciting summer ahead of them.
