Robert Lewandowski once again drew attention to himself with pithy words in poker about his immediate release from FC Bayern.
“I want to go, I want more emotions in my life. Bayern didn’t want to listen to me to the end. Something in me died and it’s impossible to ignore it,” said the 33-year-old on the Polish podcast “WojewódzkiKędziersk”.
Those responsible for the German record champions could “not make amends” for what happened. affirmed the two-time world footballer.
“When you’ve been at the club for so many years, always ready, always available, trying your best despite injuries and pain, I think the best thing is to find a good solution for both sides and not after a unilateral decision to look for,” said Lewandowski.
“Which player wants to come to Bayern then?”
FC Bayern’s tough stance on his change request “makes no sense,” said the striker, whose contract in Munich runs until 2023. “Not after this time. I would understand if I’ve been playing here for two or three years, but after such a successful journey, loyalty and respect are more important than business.”
The captain of Poland’s national team warned his current employer: “Which player wants to come to Bayern when he knows that something like this could happen to him? Where’s the loyalty and respect there?”
With regard to his Munich teammates, Lewandowski was more forgiving: “I’m leaving my friends. I’ve spent many years with some of them. We saw each other every day. These are real friendships, there’s no doubt about that.”
He spent “eight wonderful years” at FC Bayern, “and I want it to stay that way in my head,” explained Lewandowski, who is said to be moving to FC Barcelona.
