As it usually goes with the best players, there are often rumours about their possible transfers away to pastures new. The same goes for Bayern’s lethal striker Robert Lewandowski – but he won’t be leaving this year. At least that’s what the Bavarians’ sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic says.”Of course, we want to keep Lewandowski. He has a contract until 2023 and is highly appreciated. But he’s our top earner at the club. We also have to look at our financial possibilities and how much money we have. We have all the time in the world. We have the best striker in the world and we’re proud of that.”Lewandowski full statement to @SkySportDe on his future 🚨 #FCBayern▪️ “There will be a meeting soon, but I don’t know what will happen”.▪️ “Staying in Munich?

You should ask the club…”. pic.twitter.com/mAKTTqiOnP— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) April 24, 2022 Much was made out of Lewandowski’s post-game statement last weekend. Fresh from securing their tenth title in a row with a win over Borussia Dortmund, the 33-year-old commented that “something would happen soon” and that the situation is “not easy”.”The only thing I know is that there will be a meeting.”What sort of meeting? We don’t know because the Polish striker didn’t say more. But if there is a rift and a misunderstanding between him and Salihamidzic, perhaps Bayern would have to listen to offers and allow Lewa to depart after eight stellar years at the Allianz Arena.Tuesday, 22.00: (1.53) Man.City (4.30) Real Madrid (7.00)The latest Bundesliga trophy is Lewandowski’s 19th at Bayern, including a Champions League title, Super Cup and Club World Cup trophies.
