Munich are “history” for professional
In the dispute over a possible change of striker Robert Lewandowski from champion FC Bayern Munich, his advisor followed suit and announced the departure of the Pole. The conflict is coming to a head – will there be an escalation? “Of course they can keep Robert for another year, to be fair he has a contract until 2023, but I wouldn’t recommend that. FC Bayern is history for Robert Lewandowski,” said Pini Zahavi “Picture”.
At the same time, the 78-year-old responded to allegations made by Bayern sports director Hasan Salihamidzic on Sunday. “Of course he has an adviser who turns his head. It’s just not clean,” said Salihamizic in the Sport1 “double pass”. Zahavi is said to be the driving force in transfer poker for the 33-year-old striker, who wants to leave Munich in the summer. The sports director reiterated that the Munich team had made an offer to the consultant to extend the contract.
Zahavi disagreed. “No, there was no such offer,” he said. Lewandowski wants to fulfill a lifelong dream and switch to his favorite club – apparently FC Barcelona. The reason for this is not money, neither for the world footballer nor for him as a consultant. “He wants to leave Bayern Munich this summer. Nobody cares about the money here, neither Robert nor me. He hasn’t felt respected by those in charge for months, that’s the truth. FC Bayern did not lose the player Lewandowski, but the person Robert,” explained Zahavi.

Zahavi: Lewandowski knew that Haaland should come to Bayern for him
The background is said to be that Bayern should have tried to get Dortmund striker Erling Haaland. The Norwegian is now moving to Manchester City thanks to an exit clause in the BVB contract. “Robert is a very intelligent person, not just the best striker in the world. He knows exactly what is happening around him and what FC Bayern had planned. So Robert knew all along that Bayern wanted to replace him with Haaland. Erling’s father even confirmed it, telling him in a personal conversation some time ago: ‘My son comes to FC Bayern for 50 percent.’ The football world is big, but there are no secrets.”

Zahavi is also an advisor to David Alaba. The Austrian joined Real Madrid from Bayern before this season. “I was chosen as the enemy because David Alaba made the decision to leave the club a year ago,” said Zahavi.
