According to consistent media reports, FC Barcelona is Robert Lewandowski’s absolute dream destination. According to current reports, Paris Saint-Germain is also concerned with FIFA world footballers and sees the 33-year-old as a potential successor to Kylian Mbappe.
Robert Lewandowski wants to leave Bayern Munich. As various media reported on Thursday evening, the Pole rules out a contract extension on the Isar. The era of the striker at the record champions will end by 2023 at the latest. However, Lewandowski is pushing for a farewell next summer. The attacker has a clear target in FC Barcelona.
At the beginning of May, however, reports circulated that Lewandowski had also been targeted by Paris Saint-Germain. The reasons for this are obvious: PSG will most likely have to start looking for a successor for Kylian Mbappe in the summer that the Frenchman is regarding to move to Real Madrid. However, Paris has not yet given up hope of extending the expiring contract with the top scorer.
Lewandowski is on the PSG shortlist
As reported by ESPN, Lewandowski has landed on the Paris shortlist. In addition to the Poles, Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah is also on the short list.
So far, FC Barcelona has been the only serious competitor. But one thing is clear: If Bayern are ready to sell Lewandowski in the summer, Paris will certainly listen. The French are much better off financially than the heavily indebted Catalans and might outbid Barcelona in terms of both transfer fee and salary.
The problem: Lewandowski doesn’t seem interested in moving to France’s Ligue 1. It is also unclear whether he would be willing to play with Lionel Messi.
From Bayern’s point of view, the PSG interest is certainly beneficial, as this would inevitably drive up the price for the FIFA world footballer. According to reports, Munich’s pain threshold is 40 million euros, a sum that can easily be raised in Paris.
