‘Ajax want Bassey as a replacement for Martínez’ • Bayern director confirms De Ligt’s transfer wish

Barcelona and Bayern Munich have reached an agreement on the transfer of Polish striker Robert Lewandowski. According to BILD, the 33-year-old attacker would make the switch to Spain for 45 million euros. That amount can rise to 50 million through bonuses.

Lewandowski had already indicated that he wanted to leave for Barcelona, ​​but an agreement had not yet been reached. The striker just reported to training in Bavaria this week.

Bayern director Oliver Kahn told Bild that the paperwork has not yet been completed and the switch is not yet official. For a long time, Bayern did not seem to want to lose Lewandowski, but recently, according to Kahn, something has changed. “In the end, Barcelona offered an amount with which we are willing to sell.” The arrival of Sadio Mane from Liverpool also plays a part in letting Lewandowski go, the former goalkeeper said.

Bayern and Lewandowski conclude a successful partnership. The striker was eight times national champion with the club from Munich, won the Champions League and twice became World Footballer of the Year. He also shot Gerd Müller’s record out of the books, by scoring no fewer than 41 times in the Bundesliga in the 2020/2021 season. He only needed 29 games for that.
