With every day passing, Robert Lewandowski seems closer to the exit door than before. The Polish striker is definitely looking to leave and his agent also confirmed that, but in Bayern, they were sticking with the ‘he has to honor his contract’ story. But, that story is becoming old now, as more and more players, active or not, are talking about the broken communications, the new challenges etc. German Bild also brings the story with a triangle of Bayern-Zahavi-Haaland twist.🚨 Robert Lewandowski has told his representatives to do everything possible to sign for Barcelona this summer.(Source: @SPORT1) pic.twitter.com/JtHujPfQOP— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) May 23, 2022 After sports director Hasan Salihamidzic talked about the possibility of brining Erling Haaland in August 2021, Lewa became annoyed.“60 games, 60 goals, you have to look at that, otherwise we would be complete amateurs” said Brazzo in a TV show, and it was quite logical thinking from a sports point of view, but it annoyed Lewa, even thou he said that they were only thinking about it. But, Bild is toying with the idea, backed in some of Pini Zahavi’s statements that Bayern indeed tried to replace Robert with Erling.’Barca should be in bankruptcy, instead they are bidding for Lewa’The famous manager took over Lewandowski’s business in 2018 and he handled the first extension negotiations in October 2021. Zahavi came to Munich for talks, met CEO Oliver Kahn, Salihamidzic and technical director Marco Neppe. He offered an extension, but the Munich management declined. Zahavi described the conversation:“The answer: silence. No yes, no no, no maybe, just nothing. Then, towards the end of the meeting, I said: ‘If that’s the case, then sell him next summer'”. They answered: ‘We don’t actually want to sell him, but if you make us an offer for 120 million bring euros, then we can talk’” said Zahavi.🎙 Pini Zahavi: “Robert Lewandowski wants to leave this summer, we don’t care about the money. The truth is that he no longer feels respected by Bayern’s leaders. Bayern lost Robert not only as a footballer but also as a man.”(Source: BILD) pic.twitter.com/lhtIx7wT1K— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) May 22, 2022 And the second reference to Haaland (apart from Brazzo’s TV appearance) was right there – 120 million. That was basically the sum which could get them Haaland, together with transfer fee and commissions. Lewandowski then learned that a Haaland transfer is still possible, and that those responsible at Bayern are working on it in the background. That is why, according to Bild, he talked about ‘disrespect’.Former Bayern and Germany player Lothar Matthaus is now a TV analyst which has good connections in his former club, and he also confirmed that something will change for the Polish striker.”I think it’s a shame that the situation has come to this. A lot has happened lately that broke this great relationship because you didn’t talk to each other in time. I am convinced that the relationship between Robert and FC Bayern can no longer be what it was in the past eight years if Lewandowski stays in Munich until 2023″ said Lothar Matthaus in his Sky column. (2.45) ROMA (3.35) FEYENOORD (3.20)Lewa’s former teammate Frank Ribery ignored all the reports about a wage rise and ‘disrespectful’ behavior towards the Pole, and talked about a new challenge with Lewandowski seeks.“Robert decided he needed a new challenge. I wish him that it will come true. Bayern is one of the biggest in the world, but sometimes you just want and need a change. That’s the case with Robert. It’s only normal to think about a change. Barca is Barca. Sure, they have their problems and aren’t as strong as they were five or six years ago. But they are still great. Should Lewy leave Bayern, Barcelona would be a good choice” Ribery said to “Wirtualna Polska”.Neuer extends with Bayern until 2024 – will he continue receiving 20 million euros gross?And all that is fine and nice, and it’s probably all true, the fact is: Lewa only wants Barcelona, and the Catalonians also want to do the deal, but they don’t have the money and financial structure at the moment. If they cannot provide all of that, the Pole will have to stay in Bayern, weather he likes it or not.
