Press reports in Germany revealed that the Polish international Robert Lewandowski refuses to renew his contract with Bayern Munich, the German football champion.
And the German newspaper “Bild” reported today, Thursday, that Lewandowski – the winner of the award for the best player in the world – informed the Bavarian club presidents last week that he “will not extend his current contract, which will continue for another year.”
Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic answered a question about whether Lewandowski was not expected to leave Bayern after this season, saying: “As I said, we will hold talks.”
Hamidzic had announced that he ruled out the early departure of Lewandowski, 33, from Bayern next summer, and said, “He has a contract until the end of June 2023, and now we have time to talk about what will happen after June 30, 2023.”
A first round of talks took place between the club, which holds the record for championships in Germany, and the star of the attacking line, and the newspaper claims that it learned the outcome of the round; She said that it is possible for Lewandowski to move in 2023 in a free transfer deal, as he had moved from Borussia Dortmund to Bayern in 2014 in a deal of this kind to Bayern.
In a related context, Catalan reports stated that Barcelona will be the next destination for Lewandowski, but Bayern will not easily give up before the end of his contract, which may be an obstacle to completing the deal in light of the financial crisis afflicting Barcelona.
