We've been hearing rumors that Lewandowski isn't interested in staying with Bayern Munich since last season. But since he is Bayern Munich's main striker, Munich do not want to leave Lewandowski right now. However, it is not advisable to keep any player with the squad by force. Since Barcelona are interested in Lewandowski, Munich should sell Lewandowski to find a new player.
The problem is that Bayer Munich is not yet interested in the offer made by Barcelona, they want to release Lewandowski at a higher price than Barcelona's offer so far. Barcelona seems to be still struggling to increase Lewandowski's offer because they do not have enough money, while Bayern Munich is also not willing to leave Lewandowski to Barcelona if he is not paid in full. This situation certainly makes it difficult for Barcelona, but I believe Bayern Munich will not keep Lewandowski next season.
We cannot blame Bayern Munich because Lewandowski is still a very capable player and I think it's alright if they want more money for this player. But no one in the right mind is going to give 50 million for a player who is 34 years old.
Today i read the news that Barcelona is now willing to completely fulfill the demands of Bayern Munich in order to sign Lewandowski. So far Barcelona offered around 30 Million Euros + Bonuses but Bayern always insisted that they want 50 Million € that have to be paid as a single payment and no bonus payment agreements. Now it seems that Barcelona is really willing to pay that.
First of all i think it is a total joke that a club that has 1,3 Billion € of debts is willing to pay that much for a 33 year old player, but ok that is just the spanish way to handle money apparently.
From the the view of Bayern Munich though i would really let Lewandowski go now. They get more for him as they had to pay for Mane and they would not have an unhappy Lewandowski at their team for the next season.
Ideally don't think Barcelona is going to do anything like that. There is no reason to pay 50 million for a player who is already 34 years old. Ideally don't think that this is going to happen. I think even 40 million is a little too much for this player. But if Barcelona really wants to get this player it will be better if they just wait for the next season to get him for free. And Bayern Munich is not in a hurry to let Robert Lewandowski go.
