The Polish striker has to participate in the German team’s training sessions because his signing with Barça has not yet been realized
Bayern Munich have managed to win the first blow to the wrist with Robert Lewandowski to hold onto all summer, as the Polish striker must join Julian Nagelsmann’s discipline on Tuesday to start the preseason with the Bavarian club. The player continues with the firm idea of signing with Barca, but the German giant’s exhaustion plan has delayed the intentions of a footballer who already hoped his future was now determined.
“Lewandowski is evaluating options but he has a contract until 2023 and we look forward to seeing him join us on the first day of training. We are not worried,” Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn said in June. The former goalkeeper’s statements were a statement of intent for Barca and for a footballer who promised them to be very happy with the possible change of scenery this summer. Bayern would struggle and so it has been for the past month, a steady heartbeat, a heartbeat of wear and tear with the striker coming out victorious for the time being.
And it is this Tuesday that Robert Lewandowski joins the preseason that Bayern Munich is running in Säbener Strasse, the German club’s sporting city, with a certain sense of defeat. On May 30, he already made clear his intention to leave. “One thing is for sure, my time at Bayern is over. My departure is the best option for both sides. I don’t think they can keep me just because they think they can,” he assured at a press conference during the concentration with the Polish team.
Those words were considered a real insult to the Munich administration. “Public statements like that don’t get you anywhere. I think he needs to know what he has at Bayern,” said Oliver Kahn, who then started playing a two-way game where he knew there were options for the player to continue and also for him to leave the club. He signed Senegalese striker Sadio Mané from Liverpool, maintaining his stance that the Polish player would be with the club in the pre-season preparation, ready to start a course in which he could once again be essential to the Nagelsmann project. .
The young coach, 34, knows he has some value with Lewandowski in the squad. The current The Best played 46 games last year, scoring 50 goals and providing seven assists. His numbers clearly speak of a player who will remain decisive, which is why Bayern slammed the door on the first proposals that came to the attacker’s mind and so they called him up for the pre-season starting July 12 at Sabener Strasse. The original idea of the one from Munich was to end the contract he has with the club until June 2023, an idea ‘Lewy’ dislikes, who believes that at nearly 34 years old he will fulfill them in August. , it’s time to take on a challenge outside the Bundesliga, a championship that has been discussed for 12 seasons.
With these cards on the table, Barça and Bayern entered a negotiation marked by the Catalan club’s economic situation. Joan Laporta assured in Christensen’s presentation last week that “there will be no additions until the second 15% lever is activated”, statements that clash with the new offer already released by Lewandowski in the Bayern offices. “We have made an offer and are waiting for the answer,” assured the maximum president culé.
That proposal from Barca will be the fourth attempt they have made to get to a negotiating table that Bayern have not yet sat down. The Catalans have gradually increased their stakes. They started with 30 million, then 32, then 40 and according to the German channel Sport 1, the next proposal will be 50 kilos. That figure, as long as it is made in cash, as Bayern is used to doing, could give the Germans something to think about and end up with the blockade they have been subjected to this operation since the first call from the culé club to be interested in the Polish situation. For now, the pulse continues and Lewandowski will have to start a different preseason than he had planned when he asked to leave Munich.
