In 2014 Robert Lewandowski moved to Bayern. It was not really foreseeable that this transfer would come about, as the ex-advisor to Poland now reveals.

  • Robert Lewandowski * would almost have switched to Serie A (see first registration)
  • In 2014 the Poles went to FC Bayern *.
  • But this change also wavered - enormously, as his former advisor now reveals. 

Update from June 14, 2020: In summer 2014, Robert Lewandowski transferred from Borussia Dortmund to FC Bayern free of charge . Bagging the deal turned out to be more difficult than expected, as Lewandowski's former adviser now revealed: "BVB wanted to prevent the switch to Bavaria at all costs," said his ex-consultant  Cezary Kucharski in a Polish interview quoted in transfermarkt.de. 

FC Bayern: Robert Lewandowski almost did not change - contract with Real was fixed

Instead, they “wanted to sell it to Real Madrid and organized a meeting with  Florentino Pérez ( President of Real Madrid ). And the Pole would almost have switched to the Royal. A contract would already have been in place: "The financial terms had already been set, even better than with Bavaria."

The fact that the striker ultimately pitched his tents on the Isar is thanks to Bayern former agent Kucharski, who advised Lewandowski against moving to the Spanish capital due to the competitive situation with Madrid striker  Karim Benzema : “I couldn't allow him to be in one big club will be number two. "

FC Bayern / Robert Lewandowski: Change was in danger - "Bayern got angry, I heard a lot of ugly words"

Kucharski definitely wanted his client to be under contract with FCB, but he didn't really let it through, as he reveals. The agent apparently used Lewandowski's goal gala against Real in the Champions League to drive up the salary.

Lewandowski indicates it. In the 2013 Champions League semi-final against Real, the Pole scored all four goals in BVB's 4-1.

“The contract with Bayern had already been negotiated, but after playing with Real in which he scored four goals, I wanted to give him a better contract. Two weeks before the transfer was confirmed, I said that he changed his mind and went to Real. Bayern got angry, I heard a lot of ugly words. Hoeneß withstood the pressure, took the Bayern management aside and added 25 million euros to the contract, ”said Kucharski.

On Tuesday (June 16), FC Bayern can make clear the eighth championship in a row. We are there for you in the live ticker.

Bayern: Robert Lewandowski almost moved to Italy - club boss reveals transfer secret

First report from April 16, 2020: Munich - Robert Lewandowski has been sweeping through the Bundesliga for almost ten years . The Pole almost hits with frightening constancy. He only failed to break the 20-goal mark twice. Statistics * that are second to none. 

At FC Bayern Munich , you hardly know what a life without the goal guarantor would feel like. Although the Reds are always looking for a back-up for the goalkeeper, a real competitor would hardly be found. 

Bayern without Robert Lewandowski? Bundesliga would have lost historically good strikers

In the Bundesliga *, Robert Lewandowski has already made a monument with his countless goals *. Only Klaus Fischer and Gerd Müller have so far wetted more than him. Advantage for the 31-year-old : he is still active. At the beginning of the current season, Gerd Müller's record of 40 goals in one season was  already threatening to shake. He even cracked another one.

But to all this, it would almost not come as Stefano Capozucca claimed. It almost took the former Dortmund to Serie A in Italy . " The deal with Lewandowski was through, " Sport1 quotes the former managing director of FC Genoa from an interview with Radio Sportiva .

Robert Lewandowski: Serie A instead of Bundesliga? FCB striker once almost went to Italy

The then coach of the Italians, Gian Piero Gasperini, is said to have had good connections to the super striker, only his boss probably thwarted his plans. "He only had to do the medical check , but then the president pulled the plug," reveals Capozucca.

Of course, FC Genoa was not about to leave Robert Lewandowski from the German record champions *. They almost contested Borussia Dortmund's dream player when they lured him from Lech Poznan into the Bundesliga. He then moved from Poland to Germany for 4.5 million. The rest is history.

FC Bayern: Lewandowski might never have found his way to Munich without the Dortmund coup

A pioneering career step . Without the transfer to the Ruhrpott there would probably not have been any to Bayern Munich . The German industry leader is known for betting on players who have already proven themselves in the Bundesliga. In the mind game Lewandowski would probably be with Juventus today. The door guard in the old lady's black and white jersey? Probably a nightmare for every Bayern fan .
