Consultant Pini Zahavi has called for a release of his client Robert Lewandowski from FC Bayern Munich. The 34 -year -old Polish striker is still under contract in Munich until 2023, but wants to switch to FC Barcelona.
“Of course you can keep Robert for another year, fairly he has a contract until 2023, but I would not recommend that. For Robert Lewandowski, FC Bayern is history,” said Zahavi the bild. Most recently, sports director Hasan Salihamidzic, board boss Oliver Kahn and President Herbert Hainer excluded a farewell to the striker.
“The fact is: Robert wants to leave FC Bayern after eight years together, in which he gave the club everything,” said Zahavi. “Now, with almost 34, he has the opportunity to fulfill a lifelong dream and switch to the club that he has always dreamed of. Why does FC Bayern deny this opportunity?”
At the same time, Zahavi emphasized that “nobody is concerned with the money, neither Robert nor me. He has not felt respected by those responsible for months, that is the truth. FC Bayern has not lost the player Lewandowski, but Robert.”
Robert Lewandowski annoyed Bayern interest to Haaland
The advisor confirmed that Lewandowski annoyed the alleged interest of FC Bayern in Erling Haaland of Borussia Dortmund: “Robert is a very intelligent person, not just the best striker in the world. He knows exactly what is happening around him and what the FC Bayern had planned. So Robert knew all the time that Bayern wanted to replace him with Haaland. The father of Erling even confirmed it to him, said him in a personal conversation some time ago: ‘My son comes to FC Bayern. ‘ The football world is big, but there are no secrets. ” The 21-year-old Norwegian ultimately switched to Manchester City.
Zahavi also underlined Lewandowski’s claim that, contrary to the statement by the Bayern managers about Salihamidzic, he did not receive an official offer to extend the contract. Zahavi told “an anecdote from last year”.

At that time, a meeting with Kahn, Salihamidzic and the technical director Marco Neppe would have taken place. “I told you: ‘What do you think of a contract extension with Robert?’ The answer: silence. No yes, no no, no maybe, just nothing. Then I said towards the end of the meeting: ‘If so, then sells it next summer.’ The answer: ‘We don’t really want to sell it, but if you bring us an offer of over 120 million euros, we can talk.’ So roughly the sum that a Haaland obligation would have cost in summer including all fees. “
