Robert Lewandowski’s future is up in the air.
The Bayern Munich striker’s agent, Pini Zahavi, met with the powers-that-be at the Bavarian club yesterday in Munich.
Zahavi met with Bayern’s hierarchy to convey his client’s desire to leave this summer for Barcelona, but the German club responded by offering him a contract renewal according to Mundo Deportivo.
Bayern told Zahavi that they have no intention of selling Lewandowski this summer. His contract expires in 2023 and they’d rather lose him on a free than part ways this close-season.
And it’s hard to believe they’re bluffing. They let David Alaba depart for Real Madrid on a free transfer last summer, after all, and are expected to ask for a King’s ransom for Lewandowski.
Hopes Barcelona could sign him for €40m seem to be misplaced.
Because Lewandowski is as close to a guaranteed goalscorer as they come. The Polish marksman, 33, has scored 33 goals in the 31 Bundesliga matches he’s played so far this season.
