Most recently, FC Bayern fought with all means to keep top scorer Robert Lewandowski. But the record champions’ resistance may begin to crumble.
The transfer of Poland to FC Barcelona is therefore more likely today than it was a few weeks ago, reports the “Sky” reporter Florian Plettenberg.
Instead of fundamentally counteracting the departure of the top performer, the club’s management is now focusing on the transfer negotiations with the Catalans. A Lewandowski farewell is now primarily a question of price, it is said.
In the talks with Barca, FC Bayern continues to show the necessary toughness. In the meantime, the club should even insist on a transfer fee of 60 million euros. Previously, there was talk of a maximum of 50 million euros.
Nevertheless, FC Barcelona is probably moving towards the demands from Munich. The Spanish journalist Gerard Romero had already reported something similar. Accordingly, the Spanish runner-up is said to have recently increased his offer. Instead of 35 million euros plus a five million euro bonus, Barca are now offering up to 40 million euros with seven million euros in further clauses.
Mario Gomez classifies Lewy Poker at FC Bayern
Lewandowski himself can no longer be dissuaded from his intentions to change. Recently there were even rumors that the Pole wanted to skip the start of training in order to force an exit.
Among observers from the FC Bayern environment, the goalgetter’s methods at least trigger skepticism.
From the point of view of former Bayern striker Mario Gomez, Lewandowski is pushing his departure to FC Barcelona “more clearly than a Bundesliga player”. The former international told the “kicker”.
If it is true that Munich negotiated with the then Dortmunder Erling Haaland as a possible “Lewy” heir, “it would at least make his behavior more understandable for me. Otherwise not,” said Gomez.
After signing Sadio Mané, however, he sees Munich prepared for a departure of the top scorer. “Mané is an amazing player with unique abilities, should have a flawless character and is completely at the service of the team,” said Gomez.
