Robert Lewandowski’s situation is escalating. It started with reports from trusted sources that the Pole wants to leave the club after eight years, eight Bundesliga titles and 344 goals in 373 games and who knows how will it end? The Bavarians did everything in their power to deny those reports by stating that Lewa has a valid contract and that they are working on an extension, but in the end, Lewandowski decided to openly speak. The Pole admitted he wants to leave the club, which added more fuel to the fire and now it’s ugly. He doesn’t want to stay, but the club is forcing him to do it, saying he has another year on his contract. The fans are starting to hate him…Robert Lewandowski in @BILD interview with @altobelli13: “I’ve always tried to do my best for FC Bayern in order to meet the expectations of the team and the fans. I appreciate Bayern fans, they’ve always supported me.” pic.twitter.com/b7xTQzguxL— Bayern & Germany (@iMiaSanMia) June 7, 2022 Lewandowski wants to make things clear to the German public, and he decided to talk to Bild and try to explain himself. One of the first things he addressed was the accusations that he is selfish and ungrateful and that he doesn’t respect the club.”I’ve always tried to do my best for FC Bayern to meet the expectations of the team and the fans. I appreciate the Bayern fans, they have always supported me. If I wasn’t being honest about my situation, I would feel like I wasn’t being fair to the fans. I know there are a lot of emotions today, but I hope that the fans will understand me at some point. I’m not a selfish person. I know what I had at Bayern and appreciate it very much. I also know that I’ve been doing my best not to disappoint the club and the fans for the past eight years. After this time I feel that it is time for a new stage” said Lewandowski.Blackmail in Bavaria! Lewa refuses a preseason with Bayern – hell awaits him in the dressing room if he staysThe next logical question was about his contract because that’s what the Bavarians keep saying – Lewa has a valid contract for another year.”I respect FC Bayern and its rules. But changes, especially after such a time, are part of the life of the club and the player. I hope that doesn’t come across as selfish. I have a contract, but I also tried to make it clear to the club how I feel. I informed the club and said publicly that I had made the decision not to renew my contract. So let’s not talk about my future at FC Bayern anymore. I wanted the speculation to be over. I still have a year’s contract, so I asked the club for permission to move. I think it’s the best solution in this situation, especially since the club can still get me a fee. I would get the chance to take on a new challenge at another club for a few more years. That is my wish” explained the Polish international.21.45: (1.65) Belgium (3.80) Poland (6.25)But the journalists pointed out his statements in recent days like “My story at Bayern is over” and „Something in me went dead. And it’s impossible to overlook that”. The next logical question was is he trying to force the transfer with those statements. The Pole obviously wants to calm things down as he replied very remorsefully.”I think it’s better for Bayern to invest the money they can get for me than to keep me until the end of my contract. I don’t want to force anything, that’s not the point. It’s about finding the best solution. Certain statements are often distorted or exaggerated. I want this to end: the emotions have to cool down, I want to speak calmly, not through the media. I know that a conflict makes a lot of headlines. But FC Bayern and I are not enemies. The media world and the real world of football are two different things. That’s why I don’t want to add fuel to the fire. I wish Bayern all the best and I have no doubt that the entire management of the club feels the same way. That’s why I remain convinced that we will find an agreement together” said Lewa.
