The prestigious GOAL has confirmed that Robert Lewandowski will not renew his contract with Bayern Munich. The Polish bomber has a valid deal until the end of next year with the Bavarians, but he has decided to leave the club in search of a new adventure. In recent weeks Lewandowski has been rumored for a transfer to Barcelona, but there is still no formal agreement with the Spanish club.
But what went wrong between the striker and the Bayern executives?
1 month ago, the club's representatives were quite confident that they would reach an agreement with Lewandowski for the new contract. own Oliver Kahn, CEO of Bayern Munich, stated not long ago:
"We will surely have Robert with us for another season. We know what our relationship is with him and we are calm. Apparently there is a competition around who will report the most nonsensical news about Lewandowski. Talks will continue, we are not crazy to think of transferring a player who scores 30-40 goals every season… "
But dissatisfaction on the part of the player quickly became public, and the news turned out to be true. The day Bayern triumphed in Bundesliga, Lewa told the media:
"We will have a meeting soon but nothing special has happened so far. I also discern what is happening… The situation is not easy for me either. ”
The situation created has put Bayern in a rather difficult position, which has to make a choice; sell the best footballer during the summer transfer window, or lose him at zero cost at the end of next season. However, it seems that a lot will depend on the player's own willingness to join another team.
