On Tuesday, Pini Zahavi, Robert Lewandowski’s advisor, confirmed the “table football“FC Bayern have not yet sought a conversation with their superstar. The hesitation caused a flood of rumours, but should soon be history.
FC Bayern will very soon be looking for an exchange with Robert Lewandowski to explore how the contract of the Polish top scorer can be extended beyond the summer of 2023. That’s what the “image” have experienced.
According to this, CEO Oliver Kahn wants to speak “personally” to the reigning world footballer and “absolutely” bind him longer.
The report also reveals why the German record champions haven’t got down to business with their top performer for a long time.
Allegedly, the possible purchase of Erling Haaland from league competitor Borussia Dortmund is said to have been discussed on Säbener Straße. In this case, Lewandowski would probably not have agreed to an extension anyway and would rather have looked around for a new adventure. Ultimately, according to “Bild”, Kahn and Co. came to the conclusion that the FC Bayer supervisory board would not have approved the mega deal.
Haaland is simply too expensive for FC Bayern
Haaland is probably available for a reasonable 75 million euros in the summer, but due to the enormous salary and assumed payments to his entourage, the total transfer package should be 330 million euros. In addition, one should have doubts, since Haaland has been prone to injuries and dangerous in goals in recent seasons.
According to the report, Haaland also plays another role in the negotiations between Bayern and Lewandowski: If the Norwegian’s new club is announced soon, Bayern’s negotiating position with Lewandowski would weaken because the market would no longer have an alternative.
For this reason, the Bayern management is now even toying with the idea of giving the 33-year-old a full salary update if he is offered until 2025. There is talk of 24 million euros.
