While the Polish striker is coveted by FC Barcelona, here are the three possibilities available to him for this summer.
We talk a lot about Kylian Mbappé or Erling Haaland, rightly so, but another world-class player is likely to be talked about a lot this summer. This player is Robert Lewandowski. While his contract with Bayern ends in 2023, the Polish striker is at the heart of many rumors, while an extension does not necessarily seem relevant.
According to information from Sky Sportsthere are currently three options for his future, as Bavarian boss Oliver Kahn has made it known that the German team want to retain him ” the longest time possible “. The first of these is that of an extension. According to the German edition of the prestigious media, it is even the most probable possibility at present.
Very expensive for Barca
Only, the Pole wants a substantial salary increase, which makes the club’s staff hesitate, since the former BVB will celebrate his 34th birthday this summer. And the pandemic also prevents the club, which is always very cautious on these issues, from splurging. Second option, that of staying one more season without extending, and therefore leaving at the end of the 2022/2023 season, which could also suit Bayern, which would have a little room to find a replacement for him.
Then, the last option which cannot be ruled out: a departure for FC Barcelona, the club most interested in his services, while the Pole would be seduced by the idea of playing in Catalonia. The reigning German champions, however, would ask for a hell of a lot and the initial offer of 30-35 million euros from Barça would not be considered satisfactory. Suffice to say that the trend is therefore above all one more season in Bavaria!
