Robert Lewandowski, a Barcelona target, has reiterated his desire to leave Bayern Munich at the conclusion of the season and has urged the Bundesliga winners to listen to any offers.
After scoring in Bayern's final game of the 2021-22 season, a 2-2 draw at Wolfsburg, Lewandowski broke his silence on his future. The 33-year-old told Sky Sports in Germany that he has informed sporting director Hasan Salihamidi that his contract at the Allianz Arena will not be extended.I can confirm that I spoke with Hasan and informed him that I had made my decision and would not be extending my contract with FC Bayern. Both parties must consider the future. He stated, "It's best if we find the greatest answer for both sides." "I told him that if an offer comes in, we must consider it - both for ourselves and for the club." Both parties must consider the future. All I have to say is that."
Before the game, Salihamidi revealed that Lewandowski wanted to leave, but stressed that the club's position has not changed and that they are still determined to keep the Poland international. Bayern Munich has a deal with Lewandowski until June 2023.Although Lewandowski's future is undetermined, he did admit after the game that he may have played his final game for Bayern Munich, according to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano.
"This could very well be my last game for Bayern." "I can't tell for sure, but it could have been [my last game]," he remarked. "We're looking for the best answer for both me and the club."
According to ESPN, the striker appeared to be saying his goodbyes as he saluted Bayern fans after the final whistle.Lewandowski joined Bayern in 2014 and has since scored 344 goals in 373 games to become the club's all-time leading striker. For the Bavarian giants, only Gerd Muller has scored more goals.According to Diario Sport, Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann also commented about Lewandowski following his team's draw with Wolfsburg, admitting the striker will be a major loss if he leaves.
He stated, "It would be a loss if he went." "The fact that he is not going to extend it is an impetus for us to hunt for a new striker at some point next season to replace Lewy going into the next campaign."
Bayern could now attempt to replace Lewandowski with a striker. According to Sky Sports, Bayern Munich has entered the competition to sign Barcelona striker Ousmane Dembele, who is out of contract at the end of the season.The Bavarian giants are looking for a forward "who can make a difference in attack" and have already contacted the Frenchman's camp to discuss the potential of a free transfer this summer.
