According to the same source, FC Barcelona is said to offer the exceptional striker a salary of over 30 million euros a year.

Robert Lewandowski: Is the super striker leaving Bayern Munich?

With all the transfer rumors, the Bayern star's ex-advisor has now joined the debate: Maik Barthel.

The player's agent chatted in the "Bayern-Insider" podcast about previous prospects - and in the course of this he brought up another club as a possible new employer.

"Real Madrid actually wanted to sign Robert at this point, as did FC Bayern Munich.

And there were offers and talks.

That's absolutely right," Barthel told

Bild

about the moment when the Polish super striker decided to switch from Borussia Dortmund to Bayern Munich in 2014.

The “royal” offered the attacker a six-year contract at the time, he said.

Real Madrid was everywhere.

When asked if Real Madrid was Lewandowski's big dream, Barthel replied: "I think it still is today.

There were always statements from Real Madrid that they would like to make the signing, but always against the background that FC Bayern have to agree to it.” For Lewandowski himself, “Real Madrid was omnipresent.

This is a difficult point.

Ultimately, however, Robert has always done his job professionally, and has done so to this day," Barthel explained: "The suggestion to switch to Pini Zahavi was actually the goal of Real Madrid or a change at all." In the 2018/19 season, Lewandowski had the cooperation ended with Barthel and switched to player agent Pini Zahavi.

But why is Robert Lewandowski, whose contract in Munich expires in the summer of 2023, hesitating to extend it.

Because he wants to look for another challenge at the age of 33?

"I'm sure that's one reason.

For one thing, Robert has been in Germany for quite a long time.

He knows everything, has won everything there is to win here," said Barthel: "At some point it's time that you needed something new as a player.

Also to keep his motivation up at all times.”

Paris is not an option right now and never has been.

Last but not least, "every means is right" in the contract negotiations, he explained.

Barthel reported on "14 rounds of negotiations with FC Bayern before the contract was ready to be signed".

He believes that "if Bayern Munich manages to find an adequate replacement for Robert, who is maybe a bit different in terms of gameplay, (...) then it could be that Robert can choose another option," he said further and said to salary talks: "I believe that Bayern Munich has a limit that they will not go over."

And what would be potential new clubs besides FC Barcelona, ​​which has been traded for weeks?

"Paris is currently not an option and never was before," said Barthel, adding instead: "Manchester United is always an interesting club.

Manchester United is a big club.” He said he could confirm previous offers from the English side.

These were there “constantly”.

Barthel: "There were concrete offers, including written ones, even when he was still in Dortmund."
