Robert Lewandowski nor wants to renew with Bayern Munich, and has already communicated it to the German club. The Polish striker knows that his contract with the Bavarian giant lasts until 2023. However, his intention is to find a solution -this summer- that favors those involved.
If the decision depended on Lewandowski, he would change clubs (Barcelona seems his preferred destination) and leave money for the sale to the Allianz Arena entity. The point is that the deliberation does not depend on him, but on the FC Bayern board. And it doesn’t seem to be very flexible.
This Sunday, in the celebrations of the Bundesliga title, Oliver Kahn, CEO of the most important institution in Germany, said emphatically that LEWANDOWSKI WILL FULFILL HIS CONTRACT. That is to say: they are not willing to negotiate him, even though that implies letting him go as a free agent in 2023.
KAHN: “LEWANDOWSKI WILL FULFILL HIS CONTRACT WITH BAYERN”
“He has a contract until 2023. He will fulfill this contract. Enough! (…) There is no player who is above Bayern and bigger than this club”said The Titanas collected Sky Sports DE.
The 33-year-old centre-forward rejected his extension offer. They accept it. What they will not allow is that you do not comply with the previously reached agreement: “We know all this theater that is being represented. We also know where it comes from. It is not something that gives us a headache. We have made an offer to the advisor. He did not accept the offer. Things like that happen and that’s fine too.”
WHAT DOES THE PRESIDENT OF BAYERN MUNICH SAY?
The discourse inside FC Bayern is the same. The same thing that Kahn said was repeated by President Herbert Hainer. He assures that Robert will stay until June 2023.
“If you sign contracts, both parties have to stick to them. That’s why you make contracts. Robert has a contract with us until June 30, 2023, so I am sure that he will play with us until that date.”
The novel is just beginning.
The Bavarian position seems very firm and forceful, but a change of plans should not be ruled out if a sufficiently tempting offer arrives. And it is that they are facing their last great opportunity to obtain something significant for the transfer (that money might be used to recruit their replacement).
If they stand, they will have one more year with the best scorer in the world, but he will be dissatisfied (he wants to leave) and they will end up going like free agent. If they give in and choose to negotiate, they lose the top scorer in recent years, yes, but they would get some money to have a greater margin in the search for a substitute and achieve a positive stage closure with one of the best footballers in the history of the club (something both parties deserve).
The ball is in the field of the leadership of FC Bayern Munich.
