A few days before the end of the season, Robert Lewandowski’s unclear future is the constant topic at FC Bayern. Most recently, those responsible in Munich said that the goalscorer will definitely not leave the club in the summer. There is still a long way to go before a possible contract extension.
“I definitely rule out Lewandowski leaving the club in the summer,” said sports director Hasan Salihamidzic recently on “Sky90”. One thing is certain: FC Bayern definitely wants to prevent the premature departure of its top performer.
In addition, the record champion would be only too happy to extend the Poland’s working paper, which is dated until 2023. However, there is apparently no guarantee that Lewandowski will sign.
As “picture” reported, the 33-year-old still does not want to extend his contract at Bayern Munich. Instead, the world footballer should move to FC Barcelona.
The Catalans, who would probably pay 35 to 40 million euros, have been hot contenders for a transfer for weeks, although Barca director Mateu Alemany denied alleged talks with Lewandowski’s agent Pini Zahavi a few days ago.
Hoeneß: Lewandowski stays with FC Bayern
According to “transfer expert” Fabrizio Romano, FC Barcelona will not give up in the courtship for Lewandowski, despite Salihamidzic’s tough announcement. Accordingly, the center forward still enjoys priority at the traditional Spanish club.
Lewandowski himself left his future at Bayern open after winning the championship at the end of April. “It’s not that easy for me,” Lewandowski admitted after the Bundesliga game against Borussia Dortmund (3-1) in an interview with “Sky”.
At least since then, (former) companions of the superstar have spoken almost every day – including ex-Bayern President Uli Hoeneß. “I’m 100 percent assuming that Robert Lewandowski will play at Bayern Munich next year,” the 70-year-old dared to predict in a “BR” interview. But even the statement of the “Bayern maker” does not seem to be a guarantee in Lewandowski poker.
