Lewandowski, 33, sent a signal to the world of football after his match against Eintracht. As well as to Real Madrid. When asked about the possibility of him continuing at Bayern next season or whether he will leave the entity, his response was strong.
“I am open to everything,” Lewandowski told Sky Sports. I am calm. It’s important for me to always be able to focus on my performance and on what can happen in the next match. Whatever remains after that in terms of contracts is a secondary matter and remains in the background.”
Lewandowski’s contract runs until 2023. With the news of a distant future from Bayern Munich several months ago, the interviewer sought to get the striker’s reaction to some statements by sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic, in which he confirmed that the German club’s intention is to keep him in the team. At any cost” and that negotiations are underway for that.
The attacker stunned everyone with his response: “Oh yeah, that’s the first time I’ve heard of it!” Despite this, Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer (67) has repeated this idea several times in recent times.
As the newspaper AS learned from sources close to the Polish striker, relations between the player’s agent, Benny Zahavi, and Bayern Munich were severed after the departure of Alaba, and to this day, they have not been resumed. “He’s a greedy piranha,” said Hoeness, Bayern’s chairman emeritus, of Zahavi, which certainly wouldn’t help if he was well prepared to negotiate a contract renewal.
As this newspaper says, Lewandowski’s first intention is not to renew with Bayern and look for new challenges. He wants to speed up his options to sign for Real Madrid and has told his agent so. In fact, Lewandowski had already threatened to leave Bayern last summer, but faced direct opposition from the club.
Bayern Munich starts clearly inferior to any negotiations it wants to initiate with Lewandowski to extend his contract. Because he is not the only heavyweight whose contract expires in 2023. Goalkeepers Neuer (35) and Muller (32) are in the same position. Herbert Hainer recently said: “I would love for these three to finish their football careers at Bayern Munich. I also strongly believe that it will happen.”
The Bayern board is already going through a very difficult moment, there are already many players who have left the entity for free due to the expiration of their contract: Sule, Alaba, Boateng, Martinez and Tolisso will do so soon.
The possibility of Real Madrid
Real Madrid’s first objective is to close the Mbappe deal as quickly as possible. On the other hand, the club is trying to make a move to sign Haaland. In the times he runs the entity, it would be ideal to face this process in 2023, but if Haaland decides to leave now, he will have to make an offer for him.
If Real Madrid lose the Haaland battle to City or Paris Saint-Germain’s money, Lewandowski will appear as an exceptional option, as Bayern will have to sell him for a number well below his market value (about 50 million euros).
