FC Bayern Munich CEO and club hero Oliver Khan has criticised speculations linking Polish striker Robert Lewandowski to FC Barcelona this summer. Simply put, the legendary goalkeeper has dismissed the transfer rumors as "nonsense."
The Catalan giants have made it clear that they want to add a headline signing this summer, and despite Erling Haaland appearing to be out of reach, claims have emerged that they are close to signing the Polish star.In an interview conducted ahead of Bayern Munich's Champions League match against Villarreal earlier this week, Khan shot off these rumors. "Apparently there's a race to see who can say the most ridiculous things about Robert Lewandowski," he added before assuring that the Best FIFA Men's Player of the Year winner will remain in Munich.
"We will undoubtedly have Robert with us next season. It's critical to note that we have a contract with him that runs until next season. We'll say anything if there's anything to say "Khan stated.
Indeed, Lewandowski's contract with the Bavarian giants runs until 2023, and the club's CEO highlighted the lunacy of releasing the prolific scorer at this time.. It's even more ludicrous because Barcelona doesn't have the financial means to persuade the club to sell.
"The club isn't insane, and they aren't talking about selling a player who scores between 30 and 40 goals per season. We have an agreement with Robert "He went on to say that conversations with Lewandowski had centered on a contract extension rather than a transfer elsewhere. "We've always stated we'd initiate talks, and we've already done so."
The news will come as a huge disappointment to Barcelona fans who were looking forward to adding Lewandowski to their squad for the upcoming season.
Bayern Munich's goal from Robert Lewandowski was not enough to keep them in the Champions League.
