Lewandowski enters the scene

The news advanced this week by the always well-informed Sky Sports Germany about the possibility of Lewandowski's hasty departure from Bayern opens a new scenario for Madrid. The Polish striker, who was always very much liked by the technical direction of the white entity, He ends his contract with Bayern in 2023 and, at 32 years old, he could leave for a more than affordable market price (it would be around 60 million euros). One more option, without a doubt, to strengthen the lead and sign a goal, taking into account that today Madrid's priority is Mbappé and that there is a fierce bid for Haaland.
