Bayern Munich will have a difficult summer transfer window as they deal with the exit of star striker Robert Lewandowski. The Polish striker wants to join FC Barcelona after leaving Bavaria. The Bayern Munich club, on the other hand, has argued that Lewandowski's contract is still valid for another year.
Lewandowski officially declared that he wants to leave Bayern in the summer after winning the Bundesliga title with Bayern two weeks ago. Following the striker's public announcement, his agent, Pini Zahavi, gave an explosive interview. He said that Die Roten had devalued Lewandowski, forcing him to hunt for a new club.
Hasan Salihamidzic and Herbert Hainer remained certain about the future of the Polish striker. Even if Lewandowski does not sign a new contract, they both insist that he will play for the German club next season.
Robert Lewandowski has increased the pressure on the club to pursue a move in the previous few days. Lewandowski said during a news conference on international duty earlier today that Bayern should not keep him because he feels his time in Bavaria to be finished. Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn has expressed his displeasure with Lewandowski's remarks. In an interview with Sport1, Kahn stated emphatically that such declarations will not assist anyone.
In the previous eight years, Robert Lewandowski has been a fantastic performer for Bayern Munich. He has set a number of records and has assisted the club in winning all of the club's titles. It's a pity that his departure is being handled so badly.
The Polish striker is likely affected by the four-year-old transfer controversy he was embroiled in with Bayern Munich. In 2018, Lewandowski was keen to transfer clubs, but Die Roten stood firm and refused to accept bids for him. It was a wise choice for all sides, as Lewandowski assisted the team in winning the sextuple in the 2019/20 season.
Despite the fact that club authorities have ruled out a Lewandowski move, things are a little different behind the scenes.Sadio Mane and Sasa Kalajdzic are being pursued by the Bavarian club. These two forwards are expected to be Lewandowski's successors next season, therefore the Bavarian club is far more willing to let him go than they were last season.Robert Lewandowski's departure this summer is not ideal. The Polish striker is expected to score 40 goals every season, therefore he will leave a significant hole in the club. However, it will be preferable for all sides if the trade is done amicably rather than dragged out in the public and ending his incredible time at Bayern on a negative note.
