Will Robert Lewandowski be in the FC Bayern shirt for the last time against VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday? According to media reports from “Bild”, Sport1, Sky and “Kicker”, the 33-year-old striker has decided not to extend his contract in Munich, which expires in 2023.
It is unclear whether Lewandowski will still be part of Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann’s team next season (and then move on a free transfer) or whether he will leave the club this summer.
For Lewandowski, there should be a clear tendency to leave this summer. FC Barcelona is considered the favorite prospect, rumored transfer fee: 35 to 40 million euros. Makeable! Also for the rather clammy Barca.
Bayern sports director Hasan Salihamidzic had ruled out a sale this summer until the very end. Of course, that doesn’t have to mean much in the football business.
Especially since Lewandowski was reportedly irritated (better: upset) that FC Bayern needed so long to move to the negotiating table. It only happened at the end of April, without any result. The “Bild” newspaper quoted Salihamidzic on Thursday evening only with the tight-lipped statement: “We will have talks.”
Without Lewandowski, Bayern would save more than 20 million euros in salary costs per year. However, the cardinal question would be who the market offers as a potential successor, the choice is not large.
