The Bayern Munich forward is making every effort to force his way out of Bavaria in order to join Barcelona this summer. Robert Lewandowski's future is anything from certain.
Despite the club's ambitions to keep him or to sell him on their own terms, the 33-year-old hasn't held back in stating his wish to leave the German champions during the current transfer window.
Lewandowski has no intention of reporting for duty when the preseason officially begins on July 12.
Mail Barthel, the former agent for the forward, even went so far as to say that he could be willing to use force to complete a transfer.
According to Barthel, when Lewandowski decided to leave Borussia Dortmund to join Bayern, "it was already expected that he would not appear for training."
I have faith in Robert to skip training.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, doesn't simply anticipate drastic activity from the forward; they also anticipate professional behavior from him.
Uli Hoeness replied, "I don't think about that at all. We live in a constitutional state, and he has a contract.
"We've made the decision to keep him here. Unless we had been able to find an alternative.
This summer, Bayern has already acquired Sadio Mane from Liverpool.
