Follow the pulse with Bayern: another delay for Lewandowski

“Robert He is a great professional, I know him very well and I never had any doubts that he would not show up for training”. Hasan Salihamidzic of Lewandowski, a Polish striker who will turn 34 in August, in a Bayern podcast. But the attitude of the battering ram continues to raise suspicions, especially because this Friday he has again arrived a few minutes late at the agreed time at the Ciudad Deportiva del Bayern. Although the training does start on time later, and he has improved his passive attitude that he exhibited on Wednesday in his first session, that delay that he has repeated for the third consecutive day draws attention and seems a way to continue tightening the rope before some crucial days. : this Saturday is the presentation of the team in the Allianz Arenawith an audience, and on Monday the squad travels to the United States to participate in the Audi Summer Tour 2022.

A Lewandowski, who has refused to negotiate with PSG and Chelsea, according to Bild, because he only wants to go to Barça, he would like to avoid exposing himself to the judgment of the Bayern fans, upset by his decision to leave the club to play for Barça despite having a contract until 2023. But things are going slower than expected.

Barça is not willing to increase the offer of 40 million euros, a figure that it considers fair both for what was agreed at the time with Pini Zahavi, the player’s agent, as well as the conditioning factors (age, remaining contract time…). And Bayern does not speak for less than 50 million. Although it seems that 10 million is not a huge difference, in this case it is because the German club is so forceful and inflexible that those around Barça are beginning to doubt that the operation can be carried out.

Lewandowski is upset with him Bayern because he believes that a player who has made history for eight seasons and who can leave 40 million in his coffers as a farewell is not being thanked. The one-year renewal offer did not convince him and his wish for two seasons will not be accepted either, even if he stays against his will.
