Former DFB team boss and world champion Rudi Völler believes that Robert Lewandowski’s personnel can still cause problems for FC Bayern Munich. The Pole would like to leave the club despite the current contract.
“If Lewandowski stays, then he has to make a clear commitment, then that’s still possible for a year, otherwise it will be difficult,” Völler told the TV station “Bild”. In the end it is important what the internal relationship between the club and the player is like. “If that’s good, we’ll continue,” said Völler. In any case, Bayern managed a “top transfer” with the commitment of Sadio Mané.
“They did it very well and it might be an anticipation should Lewandowski change,” said the 62-year-old. The club does not have to fear a loss of quality if Lewandowski is transferred. “Bayern have a top team even without him and can win the Champions League,” said Bayer Leverkusen’s sporting director for many years. He is looking forward to the Liverpool Mané. “His career so far has been outstanding,” said Völler.
A possible return of world champion Mario Götze to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga would also do the league good, believes Völler. “That would fit well and would be a house number. The euphoria in Frankfurt would be even greater.” It is important for Götze that he gets his assignments.
He would have that at Benfica Lisbon, where his former Eindhoven coach Roger Schmidt is the new head coach. “At Benfica, he knows what he’s got. There’s a coach who will always field him,” said Völler.
