However, Salihamidzic again ruled out an early change this year. It is speculated that Lewandowski would like to go to FC Barcelona – the “Bild” recently reported an immediate change request. “Lewa has a contract until the summer of next year. That’s a fact,” emphasized Salihamidzic. When asked what had to happen for him to change his attitude, the Bosnian said: “I don’t concern myself with that because our attitude was always clear.”

Lewandowski is reportedly annoyed that there have been no talks about extending his contract 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. Another option for the Munich team is Sasa Kalajdzic (24) from VfB Stuttgart in the event that Lewandowski leaves.

It is unclear whether the potential dream club from Barcelona, which is to offer a three-year contract, can raise the financial means for a transfer – the Catalan media reported again on Saturday. It is speculated that the fee could be paid after the sale of midfielder Frenkie de Jong (25, Man United is being traded). Internally, it is said that Bayern assume that Lewandowski can leave early for 35 million to 40 million euros.
Regarding De Jong, Barça coach Xavi said on Saturday (quoted via “barca world“): “For me he is a very important player, under me he was almost always a regular player. For me it is fundamental. But in the end we all depend on the economic situation of the club. With that in mind, we decide a thing or two—generally speaking, not related to Frenkie. With Frenkie it is clear: he is a player who is very important and can mark an epoch at the club. He’s a player I really, really like. But you have to see how the club’s economic situation is.”
Xavi also commented on Lewandowski’s age and explained why this would not be a problem in a transfer: “I signed Dani Alves when he was 38 years old. So it’s not about age, it’s about performance, whether the player can help us. Footballers take good care of themselves these days. Ibrahimovic, Modric, Dani Alves, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi – despite their age, they perform very well at big clubs. Age is not a priority, what matters is what the player can give the team in terms of performance.”

Should Lewandowski leave prematurely, this would be tantamount to a farewell after a total of twelve years in the Bundesliga at Borussia Dortmund and in Munich. With 311 goals in 382 appearances, the veteran who is willing to change is in second place behind Gerd Müller (365) in the ranking of the best goal scorers since the league was founded in 1963.
