Goal machine Robert Lewandowski (343 competitive goals) will leave Bayern Munich – by the summer of 2023 at the latest.
Lewandowski is annoying that Bayern delayed a possible extension for so long. It wasn’t until the end of April that the Bayern bosses met for the first time with Lewandowski advisor Pini Zahavi (78).
The striker was really upset that Bayern were still hoping for a commitment from Dortmund’s Erling Haaland (21/moves to Man City) until last weekend. If Bayern still want to collect a fee for the Pole, they would have to sell him now.
After the disappointing season with the end of the Champions League quarter-finals, there is a transfer panic at the record champions at the latest with the Lewandowski decision!
Another example? A few days after the 1-1 draw against Villarreal in Munich, Hasan Salihamidzic is said to have contacted the management of Chelsea defender Toni Rüdiger (29). Reason for the call: The sports director wanted to negotiate a contract with FC Bayern. Too late: At that point, the change of defender was almost fixed with Real Madrid. In the run-up there was only loose contact with Marco Neppe, Technical Director of Bayern.
The hesitation that the national player’s commitment cost is very reminiscent of the case of Nico Schlotterbeck (22).
Bayern came too late with their efforts and lost out to Borussia Dortmund.
