The best scorer of Bayern in the last 50 years has left, but in Munich they have a reason to rub their hands! At least that’s what the Spanish newspaper El Pais claims, stating that previous media reports that Barcelona allocated 50 million euros for Robert Lewandowski (45+5 through bonuses) – are not true!Yes, you read that right and you guessed right what follows: the Catalans paid significantly more. And there are some new details.All in all, the figure that will flow into the coffers of the German champion is the entire 60 million euros! And the formula is as follows: 45 million euros fixed and immediately, 5 million through bonuses that will be activated if Barça secure participation in the Champions League next season, plus 10 million euros if – check this out – Lewa makes it through one year as a Blaugrana player?!##NAJAVA_MECA_6511958##This is most likely one way to get around the Financial Fair Play regulations, as the 10 million euros will be carried over to the next fiscal year.El País obtained a statement from an unnamed agent who participated in the negotiations between the two clubs and confirms the whole story:”People from Barcelona have pledged to pay all 60 million according to the established clauses if Bayern go public with the data that originally appeared – that is, that the deal is worth 45+5 million,” said El Pais’ source. “In this way, the Spaniards wanted to soften the attacks of the media due to such an expensive transfer at a delicate financial moment”.But this is not all new details. From some, admittedly, less reliable sources – based on yesterday’s information also from the pen of Spanish colleagues that Pini Zahavi demanded from Bayern 20 million euros for himself in the name of the commission if Lewandowski stays in Munich – it can be heard that Joan Laporta had to “respect” the efforts of Lewa’s manager, and agreed to pay him what the Bavarians did not – precisely those 20 million euros as a bonus for a job well done.Robert Lewandowski 🔵🔴 #FCB▫️ Salary around €9m net per season.▫️ First call with Xavi, end of February.▫️ Bayern receive €45m plus €5m add ons.▫️ Robert’s contract to be signed on Sunday.▫️ Pini Zahavi-Laporta relationship, key for this deal.Official, done deal. 🇵🇱🤝 pic.twitter.com/Oi9q0ISDp6— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) July 16, 2022 No, no, that’s not all either. El Pais also states that the Pole received a much higher salary than originally announced (16 million euros gross per year), and Barcelona will spend a total of 92 million euros on him over the next four years!Worried fans quickly got their calculators in their hands and came up with startling figures: in the last two days alone, bringing in Lewandowski from Bayern and Raphinha from Leeds – counting compensation, wages for full contracts and commissions for agents – the club has spent 297 million euros?!A reminder, trying to stabilize financially, Barça sold their property and share in TV rights for the next 20 years a few weeks ago, thus collecting about 250 million euros.Doesn’t seem like the right path to financial stability, does it?
