Wild rumor from Spain: According to a report by the sports newspaper “AS”, Bayern Munich should have none other than world star Cristiano Ronaldo on their list when looking for a successor for world footballer Robert Lewandowski, who is willing to emigrate. The German record champions are preparing a “big swap”: CR7 for “Lewy”.
Ronaldo has therefore decided not to fulfill his contract with Manchester United, which expires in 2023, and to leave the English record champion early. “And his next destination could be Munich,” writes the newspaper.
However, Bayern sports director Hasan Salihamidzic denied this. “Cristiano Ronaldo is a top player with an outstanding career. However, the rumor that is circulating is a rumor that has nothing to do with it,” said the Bosnian on “Sky”.
Because Lewandowski (contract until 2023) cannot be dissuaded from his desire to leave Bayern prematurely for FC Barcelona, the club is planning, according to AS, “one of the most important transfers in its history” and “a spectacular coup”. The interest of the people of Munich had already met with love from Ronaldo, it was said.
FC Bayern is probably still exploring the player market on the offensive. Should Lewandowski leave Munich before the start of the season despite the club’s current clear no, newcomer Sadio Mané could also play at the top, as he did recently at his former club Liverpool.
