No deal from Robert Lewandowski's agent with Barca yet

Contrary to a media report to the contrary, there is still no agreement between Robert Lewandowski’s advisor and FC Barcelona.

sports1 had reported that Pini Zahavi had already agreed with the Catalans on a Lewandowski move this summer. There was talk of a three-year contract for the FC Bayern Munich striker.

According to information from SPOX and GOAL Lewandowski’s agent and Barca’s bosses are in talks, but no agreement has yet been reached.

One way or another, Lewandowski’s future remains a big issue. A few days ago, the Pole informed the record champions that he would not be extending his contract, which ran until 2023. If FC Bayern still wants to receive a decent transfer fee for its top scorer in the event of a departure, it will have to sell it after this season.

FC Barcelona has emerged as the most promising candidate for Lewandowski’s services. According to sports1 the 33-year-old has already committed himself to a move to the Blaugrana. There is no plan B for him, although teams from the Premier League and Paris Saint-Germain should also show interest.

Lewandowski’s change options: does the desired solution work?

1/21

Robert Lewandowski wants to leave Bayern Munich – preferably immediately. There are many reasons for wanting to change, but first the Pole has to find a buyer. Those would be the options…

2/21

Actually, FC Bayern has made the decision not to let Lewandowski go before the end of the contract in 2023. But that could be different with an offer from 40 million euros. But who could pay for that?

3/21

FC BARCELONA: Lewandowski and the Catalans – this is an open and hot flirt. Barcelona don’t miss an opportunity to talk about Lewandowski. And the star attacker is also interested. But there are question marks…

4/21

Barcelona don’t actually have the means to pay Lewandowski. You might still be able to get the 40 million euros transfer fee, but the salary limit is full and many contracts will be more expensive in the new season. Barca need to lose weight.

5/21

REAL MADRID: Los Blancos have arguably the most in-form striker in the world right now. Karim Benzema scores when he feels like it. And he’s always in the mood. Benzema’s contract also expires in 2023 – and you have to wait and see for him too.

6/21

If Benzema gets another big and long-term contract somewhere else, there would be room for Lewandowski. But: Unlike Lewandowski, Benzema constantly shows his love for the club – and he may stay until the end.

7/21

MANCHESTER UNITED: The Red Devils’ striker is a place for men of a certain age. Ibrahimovic, Cavani, Ronaldo – they were all or are under contract. Lewandowski would even be in the right place and an immense reinforcement.

8/21

Soon-to-be coaches Erik ten Hag and Lewandowski have certainly run into each other on Säbener Straße and know each other from their times together in Munich. Plus point United: You have money. Even enough for Lewandowski.

9/21

NEWCASTLE UNITED: Speaking of money. The Magpies, i.e. the magpies, have a lot of that. Magpies are known to be clever creatures – very clever indeed. The same can be said of Lewandowski.

10/21

The question is whether his intelligence will tell him that while more money is good, what he has earned so far might be enough to make him opt for a cooler club than the just-before-relegated England.

11/21

PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN: Of course it shouldn’t be missing. why? The combination of sporting aspirations, wealth and flair of the city would be a nice combo. PSG wants to win the Champions League, so does Lewandowski.

12/21

After Kylian Mbappe’s departure (?) there would be space. It would be exciting to watch Neymar (30), Messi (34) and Lewandowski (soon to be 34) doing defensive work. Oh yes: the Ballon d’Or would be a bit closer. So a few kilometers.

13/21

BORUSSIA DORTMUND: Mats Hummels and Mario Götze showed the way. Grow big at BVB, switch to Bayern at the peak and then back to Echte Liebe. So why not actually, Robert Lewandowski?

14/21

Dortmund has already invested in Adeyemi and Co. with the Haaland millions, but some of the money is still there. Then Niklas Süle and he could also share the moving costs. But: Can BVB afford the salary? Rather not.

15/21

INTER MILAN: After the departure of Romelu Lukaku, Edin Dzeko (35) was signed – with 13 goals in 35 league games, the result is okay, but of course it can be improved. Expandable sounds like Lewandowski.

16/21

The Nerazzurri also have no shortage of money and are no longer lacking in ambition to make it big in the Champions League. He can ask his good friend Karl-Heinz Rummenigge how things are at Inter.

17/21

INTER MIAMI: If it has to be Inter but not Milan, then maybe Miami? David Beckham, as we know from umpteen transfer rumours, wants to build a dream team in Florida. Miami has a team, but Dream is still a long way off.

18/21

Lewandowski would find a great environment, a great boss (photo) and an exciting project. But is it so exciting to give up the competition in Europe? Probably not. But maybe later.

19/21

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR: Levy and Lewy – that would be a great combo. Spurs boss Daniel Levy still dreams of shaking up the league. The problem is that hopeful Harry Kane sometimes dreams away.

20/21

If Kane really does leave in the summer, as he has hinted here and there, then Levy could bring in Lewy and start a new attempt towards the dream. Tottenham don’t make many transfers but the funds are there.

21/21

CONCLUSION: Seriously, Lewandowski doesn’t seem to have that many options, because the goalscorer’s demands are high in every respect. Barcelona seem to be the ideal solution for both sides, i.e. the player and Barca.

Lewandowski: President Hainer’s word of power

FC Bayern is not officially thinking about a premature Lewandowski sale at the moment. President Herbert Hainer spoke on Friday and ruled out a sale in the summer. “Robert Lewandowski has a contract with FC Bayern until June 30, 2023. And he will fulfill it,” Hainer told the newspaper tz and Munich Mercury.

Coach Julian Nagelsmann also expects the world footballer, who is willing to change, to remain with the Reds. “He’s quite normal in my plans,” said Nagelsmann at the press conference before the last game of the 2021/22 season at VfL Wolfsburg and referred to “the contractual situation”.
