Bayern legend Philipp Lahm thinks it's a shame that Robert Lewandowski wants to switch to FC Barcelona.

He himself almost ended up with the Catalans.

Munich – Soccer World Champion Philipp Lahm would very much regret a farewell to Robert Lewandowski at Bayern Munich.

"It's a shame that someone like that wants to leave the Bundesliga," said the former ex-captain of the DFB team and Bayern on Monday in Munich.

With Lewandowski and Erling Haaland there are already “two world-class players who are leaving the Bundesliga”.

Lewy's departure is not yet certain!

The 33-year-old striker is flirting with a move to FC Barcelona, ​​but Bayern boss Oliver Kahn ruled out a move from Lewandowski before the end of the contract in 2023.

According to record national player Lothar Matthäus, it should never have come to this.

FC Bayern: Lahm thought about moving to FC Barcelona

During his career, Lahm also briefly considered a move from Munich to Barcelona.

It is a "great city".

In addition, Barca "had the best team in the world at the time," Lahm continued.

He cannot judge what makes the team so appealing today.

In any case, at the time he was more ambitious to win everything with his “home club”.

FC Bayern: How does Philipp Lahm assess the current situation?

Lahm is now observing the current turbulence at the record champions from afar.

“You can see that FC Bayern is polarizing.

He's been doing that for 50 years.

But it's not my responsibility," he said.

He certified coach Julian Nagelsmann a “good” first season.

It is "good if you have a title", but with Bayern it is only "the minimum goal".

For the future?

"In the long run, a title at FC Bayern is not enough," continued Lahm.

Lahm showed understanding that ex-president Uli Hoeneß is getting involved in current business again.

"He shaped FC Bayern," he said.

"Everyone knows that FC Bayern is important to him."
