– My time in Bavaria is over. I see no opportunity to keep up in this club. That is what one of the best strikers in the world, Robert Lewandowski, said when the Bundesliga season was over. For the Pole is considered a legend in Bayern Munich. He has been in the club since 2014, and there have been a total of 336 goals in 364 games for the club. Only Gerd Müller, who played in the club in the 60s and 70s, can look to similar numbers. – Something has died in me. I want to leave the club to get more feelings in life, Lewandowski said according to the Polish channel Onet Sport. Then he came up with criticism of his new club. – Who wants to go to Bavaria, if one knows that something like this can happen to them? he said. Will probably go to Barcelona And even though the next destination has not been confirmed, there are many indications that Barcelona will be his next club if he is allowed to go. He has not hidden that from himself. – I have not considered other offers than Barcelona’s. I want to go, it’s clear, said the super striker, who also has our link to PSG. HUNTERING FORWARD: Xavi could be Robert Lewandowski’s next manager.

It was decided that the club will sell 25 percent of its TV rights for around 500 million euros, ie around 5.2 billion kroner. In addition, it was agreed to sell 49.9 percent of the company BLM (Barcelona Licensing & Merchandising), which is about Barcelona-licensed product. This will have a value of around 200 million euros, ie around 2.1 billion kroner. This corresponds to a total of 7.3 billion, and there is reason to believe that some of this will help them in the transition market this summer. Surprised by the statements Bayern himself has also been out several times to remind that he has one year left on his contract, and therefore it is not obvious that he will get his wish. – Lewandowski informed me that he will not accept our contract offer, and that he will leave the club. Our position has not changed. He has a contract until 2023, and those are the facts, said sports director Hasan Salihamidžić to Sky Sports Germany. Bavarian CEO Oliver Kahn was not happy after the statements from his star striker. – I do not know why Robert chose this way of communicating about the situation. Public figures like this take you nowhere, Kahn told Sport 1. – Robert should think about what he has in Bavaria. He has become one of the best football players in the world here, the former Bayern goalkeeper said. RESPONDS: Oliver Kahn is clear that Lewandowski has communicated in the wrong way. Photo: GONZALO FUENTES / Reuters Viaplay’s Bundesliga commentator Eivind Bisgaard Sundet is not particularly surprised that Lewandowski will leave Bayern, but the way it is done was unexpected. – I’m a little surprised by that. On the other hand, he has used agent Pini Zahavi. He was called a greedy piranha by Uli Hoeness a few years ago. They are not so fond of him in Bavaria. The big problem is the first league game next season if Lewandowski is not sold. Then everyone has a problem, says Sundet to news. At the same time, the commentator emphasizes that Lewandowski stands out as a 100 percent professional athlete. – But if he strikes, it will be a problem for them. Hoeness said when Ousmane Dembélé went on strike and left Dortmund for Barcelona (in 2017) that this could never have happened in Bavaria. Now it can happen to them, says Sundet.

The latter has struggled both financially and sportingly. They ended up a good distance behind Real Madrid in La Liga, they were eliminated from the Champions League already in the group stage and they were eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Europa League against Jens Petter Hauge’s Eintracht Frankfurt. – From a sports point of view, I do not understand it. But he only has one football life, and he will surely experience something other than German football. I can understand that some of the Bayern players will be full and will try something else. But if he had a wart in the club for another two or three years, he would have an immortal wart. He’s ruining some of his legacy now, says the Viaplay commentator. Lewandowski still has one year left on his contract, so if he is to leave the club, they must agree on a transfer fee. For example, there is little indication that an agreement between Bayern and Barcelona is just around the corner. – I think he will probably disappear, at least as long as they get a replacement who has 20-30 goals in him. They must have a player for that role, says Sundet.
