Summary: Wolfsburg - Bayern Munich 2: 2 (Sport 1)

After quite a few reports and speculations, Robert Lewandowski officially announced yesterday (Saturday) that he has informed Bayern Munich that he does not intend to extend his contract at the club, and now the interesting fight begins.

The Pole, who is considered by many to be the best striker in the world, holds a contract with the German champions until June 2023, and Bayern Munich insist that they do not intend to release him and for them he will remain until the end of his contract.

According to all reports Lewandowski wants to leave as early as next summer, but knows he can not force Bayern to sell him.

"If an offer comes in, the club will have to find a solution that suits both sides," the scorer, who reached 50 goals, said yesterday, sending a clear hint to management: You should sell me this summer to make a few tens of millions on me, before I am released for free

in June 2023 .

He seems naive when he declares "if an offer comes", as it has been reported for many weeks in Europe that he has already signed for three years at Barcelona.

So what will Barcelona do now, which of course must reach an agreement with the Germans?

She will of course try not to upset Bayern too much, so that the Germans do not "actually do" and insist on keeping him, given the fact that Barcelona have turned to a player who is under contract.

Mundo reports that "Barça hopes that the player will put pressure on the Bayern management", that she will not want to keep a player who does not want to be part of the club.

Another problem for Barcelona is that now that he has publicly announced his wish, there will be an "auction" of Lewandowski, and many more teams will turn to him and of course be able to offer him much more money (of course Manchester United, or Paris Saint-Germain if they lose Ambape ).

In such a case Barcelona knows for sure that it can not compete with it against the big clubs, and can only pay 40-30 million euros.

And what if Bayern Munich reject all offers, Lewandowski was asked yesterday.

"Obviously I have another year left on the contract, but like I said, we'll have to find the best solution for everyone, and we'll wait and see what happens."
