At the end of the contract in the summer of 2023, Robert Lewandowski could well have desires to leave this summer but Bayern Munich is ready to prevent him.
Winner of Borussia Dortmund during the Klassiker on Saturday evening (3-1), Bayern Munich ended their season on a high note by retaining their Bundesliga title. If the German Championship is not yet finished, the management of the Bavarian club is already preparing the big project for the next season, with the aim of returning to the top European places, especially after the premature elimination against Villarreal, in C1. And a first complicated file to manage will be a priority for Hasan Salihamidžić, the sporting director of FCB.
Robert Lewandowski, at the end of the contract in July 2023, still does not know where he will be this summer. Bayern would be willing to extend it for an additional season with the same salary (24 million euros gross annually), but that would not please the Polish striker, eager to be offered a longer contract. “There will be a meeting soon, but so far nothing special has happened. I also notice everything that is going on. The situation is not so simple for me”explained the person concerned after the coronation, at the microphone of Sky Sports.
“He will stay”
Robert Lewandowski could then be tempted by a departure this summer and FC Barcelona is making eyes at him, but that will depend on Bayern. Asked by Sky90Hasan Salihamidžić was clear and assured that he did not want to push him out, even if Barça came with an offer of 40-50 million euros. “Of course (we want to keep him). Lewandowski is highly regarded. Fans love it. But he is the one who earns the most money at the club. We also have to take into account our financial possibilities and the money we have available”he first assured.
“I spoke with Lewa. We’ll also talk to his agent. He has a contract until 2023. We have plenty of time. We have the best striker in the world and we are proud of it. We haven’t negotiated yet. But that’s what we’re going to do now. He will stay, he is still under contract until 2023.. A statement that may not please the Lewandowski clan, who would be ready to leave Bayern Munich if negotiations for an extension were to fail this summer. Nothing is done for the top scorer in the Bundesliga …
