Real Madrid had Lewandowski shot for 20 million

Now that an interesting Borussia-Bayern is going to play against Haaland, intended by Madrid, with Lewsandowski, A reading can be made: the striker who was not (the Pole) for Madrid, and the one who should be (the Norwegian). But there is a story that interests Real Madrid. Lewandowski was close to being a Madrid player up to three times. The most, in the summer of 2014 …

After the poker that Lewandowski played for Madrid in the Champions League in the 2012-13 season, wearing the Borussia shirt, Florentino began to think that the Pole had been born to play for Madrid. In the second leg the president made to meet the striker at the exit of the Bernabéu locker room and probed him. The player himself confirmed it in Bild: “Yes, we speak …”. A short time later Madrid had him within range. It was in the summer of 2014, before he went to Bayern at zero cost. Cezary Kucharski, his agent, raised the option that the white entity pay the 20 million clause to break the pre-contract he had with Bayern to go to the Allianz Arena at zero cost. To cancel it cost that amount, 20 million, and that is the price that Madrid would have paid for the striker, who was very much for the work.

In that time Cristiano has scored 251 in 267 with Madrid and Juve and Messi 273 in 293 with Barça. If Lewandowski has scored 232 goals since 2014 ferano, Benzema has made 130 …

Lewandowski, like Cristiano, is obsessed with work. As a child, he imposed himself six hours a day in the gym to gain mass. “His legs were like sticks, it looked like he was going to split”, relates Sikorski, his first coach. His life was also not without responsibilities. His father, who had been a soccer player (and also a judoka), died of a heart attack when he was 15 years old, and he considered leaving soccer to take care of his family. He did not and was correct. Lewandowski’s mother was a professional athlete (played volleyball at AZS Warszawa). His sister followed the same path and became an U21 international. His wife, Anna, is a karate fighter and a bronze medal at the 2008 Tokyo World Cup. In this environment, it is not surprising that the player is obsessed with good nutrition.
