While the latest rumors about a Lewandowski move to FC Barcelona came primarily from Spain, Polish sports journalist Sebastian Staszewski reports from “Sport Internia”that the 33-year-old striker has agreed with Barça on a transfer in the summer. According to this, the attacker in Barcelona has a 3-year contract until 2025. Staszewski refers to sources close to the player.
According to Staszewski, Liverpool, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in Lewandowski. All three clubs are said to be in negotiations with his advisor Pini Zahavi. Barcelona have so far been the only club to submit a “binding offer”.
The Polish portal “TVP Sport” also confirms these reports. Accordingly, Lewandowski has reached an agreement with the Catalans after a conference call with Barça President Joan Laporta. The attacker has already informed Bayern of his decision and doesn’t want to renew his contract in Munich.
How do Bayern react?
Lewandowski is contractually bound to FCB until 2023. In plain language, this means that the striker cannot leave the club at the end of the season without a transfer release from Munich. The Bayern bosses had recently repeatedly emphasized that they wanted to retain the top performer in the long term. So far, however, there have been no concrete discussions in this regard. However, according to rumours, the Munich team only want to offer the attacker a new 1-year contract until 2024.
According to “Sky” information Under no circumstances do you want to let Lewandowski go in the summer, even if there is no agreement on the extension. This runs the risk of losing the attacker for free in 2023.
The Lewandowski side is hoping for a release, as the Munich team has often vetoed in the past and the Pole is now in the autumn of his career.
