Lewandowski turns down Bayern extension
Robert Lewandowski has opened the door to a high-profile
transfer after telling Bayern Munich that he will not be extending his contract
beyond June 2023 when it expires, German media reported on Friday.
The 33-year-old Poland international forward has scored 343
goals for Bayern and twice picked up FIFA's Player of the Year Award since
joining from Dortmund in 2014.
"Goal machine Robert Lewandowski will leave the club no
later than the summer of 2023," claimed the daily Sport Bild.
"In recent weeks, FIFA's 2021 Player of the Year told
his bosses at Bayern that he would not extend his contract, which is still
valid for one year."
The Sport1 site, citing its own sources, confirmed this
information.
Until now, Bayern has maintained they would not part with
Lewandowski but, as the German media points out, not selling him now would mean
the Pole would leave for free next summer.
According to several reports, Lewandowski has recently been
in contact with Barcelona.
Barcelona coach Xavi, however, felt that this transfer would
be "complicated" because of the club's financial situation.
