Real Madrid could sign Lewandowski for 20 million

There is a little known story that is very interesting for Real Madrid. Lewandowski was close to being a player for the white team up to three times. But in one of them, in 2014, Madrid even wrote an offer that was sent to the forward's agent and that has seen the light a few days ago. The events happened like this …

After the poker that Lewandowski played for Madrid in the Champions League in the 2012-13 season, with the Dortmund shirt, Florentino began to think that the Pole was born to play for Madrid. In the second leg the president made to meet the striker at the exit of the Bernabéu changing rooms and sounded him. The player himself confirmed it in Bild: “Yes, we talk …”. A short time later, Madrid had him within reach.

It was in the summer of 2014, before he left Bayern at zero cost as he ended a contract with Borussia Dortmund, with which he had not renewed. Cezary Kucharski, his agent, raised the option for the white entity to pay the 20 million penalty clause that Bayern had forced Lewandowski to sign, I already had a pre-contract to go to the Allianz Arena for months. Canceling that movement cost that amount, 20 million, and that is the price that Madrid would have paid for the forward, who was very much for the work. Finally, Florentino did not see it clearly. He would have started a war with Bayern. On the other hand, Benzema was already very established in Madrid (he had arrived in 2009) and the signing of Lewandowski would have opened the exit door for the Bernabéu.

A few dates ago, the Polish newspaper Onet Sport revealed the conditions under which Madrid had tempted Lewandowski to cancel the pre-contract he had already signed with Bayern. A six-season contract, with a gross salary of 8,609,590 euros per campaign. It would be paid twice: on February 10 and July 10 of each year. In addition, by arriving for free, Lewandowski would have received on February 10, 2015 a transfer bonus of 10.9 million gross. The Polish newspaper brought the documents to light. Incontestable. Since the 2014-15 campaign until now, Lewandowski has scored 244 goals for Bayern … But it could have been for Madrid.
