Just as Bayern struggled with Liverpool to pay as little as possible for Sadie Mane, who entered the last year of his contract – the Bavarians are now trying to get as much out of Barcelona as possible for Robert Lewandowski, who is in the same situation and publicly asking for a transfer to Catalonia.In the end, Bayern could get a bit more from Lewandowski’s transfer than they invested in Mane. Or at least the same…Barcelona sent the second offer for the Pole today, as the first of 32 million euros (without bonuses) was easily rejected in Munich. The second offer from Catalonia reads: 35 million euros. Bayern have not sent a definitive answer yet, but it will most likely be a negative one.Bayern are very unlikely to respond to Barcelona’s new offer for Lewandowski. They will not sell for less than €50m.[Bild] pic.twitter.com/033lUzBSJq— Transferchanger (@TransferChanger) June 24, 2022 A reminder – Bayern sent three offers to Liverpool for Mane. The first of 32 million and the second of 35 million euros were rejected, but the third was 32 million euros fixed and another 9 million euros through bonuses that they accepted at Anfield. Bayern expect something similar from Barcelona…It should be noted that Mane is three years younger than Lewandowski and that it is more realistic for the African to be a bit more expensive. Although the Pole is objectively a better player than the Senegalese.For now, the Bavarians are not showing any signs of mercy in the talks with the Catalans, and they are sticking to a predetermined price of 50 million euros. It is unlikely that Barça will agree to pay that much money for the 35-year-old who entered the last season of the contract, but they will have to offer more than the current 35 million euros. A few million more should be enough to end this soap opera.Sat 00:55: (2.55) Rosario (3.10) Gimnasia LP (2.90)The Catalan club these days is finishing the last details about the sale of 10% of the TV rights for the championship matches in the next 25 years. It is an immediate financial injection worth 200 million euros that would enable the club to penetrate economically and solve the financial problems that brought their transfer market activity to a halt. This includes the transfer of Lewandowski.Barça have long had a deal with Lewandowski. He will sign a contract for two plus one years with a salary of 12 million euros net per season, which will cost the club around 24 million euros on a gross annual level. When everything is added up, Lewandowski could cost Barca close to 100 million euros with compensation and salary.
