Robert Lewandowski could leave Bayern in the near future.
The goalscorer avoids a commitment to the club and toying openly with a move.
Munich - Robert Lewandowski * had to admit defeat once again at an individual award ceremony. After losing Ballon d'Or to superstar Lionel Messi a month ago, Bayern's goalscorer received the next setback. This time, Messi's Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Kylian Mbappé was preferred and named “Player of the Year” at the Global Soccer Awards in Dubai. All that remained for Lewandowski was the award as the best goalscorer and the fan award.
The “defeats” on an individual level should only spur Lewandowski on even more.
The Pole rushes from record to record in the Bayern jersey, even club legend Gerd Müller's age-old bests are not safe from Lewy.
After the record season with 41 goals in the Bundesliga, the striker simply continued and set the next record with 43 goals in the calendar year 2021.
Lewandowski is far from full.
But how much longer can fans enjoy their superstar?
Lewandowski avoids a commitment to Bayern.
Even more: he flirted openly with a change.
Robert Lewandowski avoids commitment to FC Bayern
“I am always ready for the challenge. Whether it will be a new one - I don't know. But I'm ready, ”
said Lewandowski when asked about the Global Soccer Awards in Dubai, when asked whether he was ready for a new challenge. The 33-year-old couldn't hold back a grin. Lewandowski doesn't seem averse to the idea of chasing goals for another top club. In the past, Real Madrid has been named as his dream destination time and again.
Two weeks ago, when Lewandowski was
honored as a Golden Player
by the Italian sports newspaper
Tuttosport
,
he did not want to rule out a move.
“Will I play in Italy one day?
I can't say what I don't know yet, but I know that I am held in high esteem in Italy.
It is possible, also because I would have the opportunity to play against great players and great teams in Italy, ”said Lewandowski with a wink when asked about a commitment in Serie A.
Robert Lewandowski: Bayern have to tremble for their goalscorer
Lewandowski's contract in Munich runs until the summer of 2023.
Despite his advanced age, the Polish international is in top shape and is far from thinking of quitting. “At my age, a lot of players think about retiring from their careers. But I think that for the next few years I can still play football at the highest level, even better, ”said Lewandowski. The only question is where?
FC Bayern definitely want to extend their goal machine.
Talks between the FCB bosses and Lewy advisor Pini Zahavi are due
in the
spring
.
The sticking point is likely to be the
term of the contract
.
Lewandowski probably wants to extend one last major contract until 2025, while FC Bayern only want to extend it by one year.
Exit completely open.
Should a contract extension fail, the Pole could switch for a transfer in the coming summer.
Lewandowski recently took off from Munich and sent a telling picture from a plane.
