I understand the situation with Lewandowski this way: Bayern did not give him such a contract (for several years) as he wanted. Lewandowski went allin and announced his departure from the club. The management also went allin "accepting" the fact of his departure. There is a good chance that Lewandowski will stay in Bavaria (I would like that to happen) but now they need to somehow unravel the situation so that all parties save face.
Bayern Munich do not want to lose Lewandowski just like that, releasing Lewandowski in the transfer market is a good decision for Bayern Munich. The money obtained from the sale of Lewandowski can be used by Bayern Munich to target other players. Bayern Munich can still be said to be lucky, because Lewandowski, who has entered his old age, is still wanted by other clubs. Bayern Munich must not waste a good opportunity, as Lewandowski can leave on a free transfer when his contract expires.If you look at the statements that the parties make, it just turns out that Bayern are interested in Lewandowski working out his contract to the end. If I remember correctly, the cost of his transfer is 45 million, which means that Bavaria values his services more than 45 million per year + salary. Everything suggests that the current situation is the result of mind games, and not the real desires of the parties.
