The future of Robert Lewandowski should be clear due to his contract with FC Bayern until 2023.
It looks different with Leon Goretzka.
Julian Nagelsmann now has a clear opinion.
Munich - Summer on Säbener Strasse always means a bit of theater.
The topic of transfers in particular is a topic of conversation at FC Bayern.
The whole situation is turning out to be quite difficult this year - keyword: corona pandemic.
Even the well-heeled record champions cannot afford to make any big leaps this summer if they have already transferred a lot of money to RB Leipzig because of Dayot Upamecano and coach Julian Nagelsmann.
The only way to make expensive transfers is to sell existing staff.
Niklas Süle and Corentin Tolisso are always mentioned.
Even with Michael Cuisance and Joshua Zirkzee you won't say no to a suitable offer.
It looks different with Robert Lewandowski and Leon Goretzka.
There is little willingness to talk on the part of the club.
But there are always rumors about their departure.
Bayern: departure of Goretzka and Lewandowski?
Nagelsmann is now speaking
Nagelsmann has already exchanged ideas with the world footballer who is currently on vacation in Spain.
It was not about a possible farewell to Lewy.
"I'm not a big fan of the first official act with a new player to discuss the contractual situation or the rumor mill immediately," Nagelsmann emphasized in an interview with
Sky
.
The new FCB coach can logically understand that there are interested parties for the Polish super striker.
"The rumors about Robert have been around for a long time," says Nagelsmann: "It's a bit normal when someone scores so many goals that almost every club puts out a feeler".
In an interview with Nagelsmann, Lewandowski “sounded extremely motivated”, as the 33-year-old explains: “And I'm already satisfied with that.” The 32-year-old Pole knows what he has in the team.

Lewy's working paper on the Isar will run until 2023. It looks different with Goretzka, whose contract ends next summer.
Therefore, Manchester United has already knocked on the 26-year-old.
“It is normal for a player to think a little bit and check his worth,” Nagelsmann shows understanding.
According to Nagelsmann, Goretzka is one of the most dangerous midfielders in Europe, has “incredible dynamism” and is “a solid component in my head”.
So he would be happy to work with Goretzka for “another three, four, five, six years”.
Nagelsmann himself has signed a five-year contract with FC Bayern. It will be interesting to see how long Lewandowski and Goretzka have been part of the record champions' squad during this time. One thing is certain: there will be a little theater in the future.
