Bayern preparing for Lewandowskis departure #IndiaNEWS #Football
Berlin: All signs point to a swift end to the era of star striker Robert Lewandowski in the Bayern Munich shirt.
While official statements indicate that Bayern arent willing to allow the 33-year-old to leave, the Bavarians sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic is busy finding suitable replacements.
Media reports speak of Ajax striker Sebastien Haller, Stuttgart forward Sasa Kalajdzic and Liverpools Sadio Mane as Bayern targets.
After eight years with the Bavarians, the Polish international announced that he might well have played his last game for Bayern. Salihamidzic confirmed that the striker and his agent Pini Zahavi told the club about their intention to leave this summer as the player wants to experience a new challenge.
Lewandowski talked of a solution that has to be found to please both sides, saying he wont extend his contract in Munich, Xinhua reports. Barcelona are said to have placed an offer, while other European sides are expected to join the race.
Bayern are said to demand a transfer fee of 35 to 40 million euros this summer. Advantages in the struggle seem to be on the attackers side, as Bayern most likely wont risk keeping a striker in a bad mood for a season. Both sides presented contrary views as Bayern spoke about an offer for the striker, while Lewandowski denies having received one.
The Poland captain was visibly touched while saying goodbye to Bayerns fans after the clubs last Bundesliga match of the season at Wolfsburg. Shortly after, he posted a farewell message on social media along with a photo presenting his trophy for being the leagues top scorer with 35 goals.
With Lewandowski, the Bundesliga is set to lose its second top international star, as Borussia Dortmunds Erling Haaland is to join Manchester City, signing a five-year contract.
Both Bayern and Dortmund are said to target the same replacement candidates.
Meanwhile, the 2021 FIFA World Footballer of the Year has increased the pressure on Bayern to allow his departure.
Reports speak of Bayern having to meet the wishes of a player after 11 national titles aside from a 2020 UEFA Champions League win. Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann demanded to quickly think about the future and spoke about the challenge to find a replacement sometimes next season. The 34-year-old confirmed that Lewandowski has told him about his intentions.
Bayern icon Thomas Muller spoke of the club in a better position as he has a contract. But we all know about the business.
The German international added Lewandowskis age doesnt play a role as he is highly professional.
German media speak of Zahavi already having set up an agreement with Barcelona for a three-year contract.
Lewandowskis former agent Cezary Kucharski said Spain has always been the strikers target.
