Robert Lewandowski apparently wants to leave Bayern Munich.

Are you going to Barcelona?

President Joan Laporta has now spoken.

Munich - After three years, FC Bayern Munich was allowed to celebrate again at Munich's Marienplatz.

Of course, it was not due to the lack of success that the German record champions were last guests on the town hall balcony in 2019.

Back then, the championship trophy and the DFB Cup were proudly raised.

In 2020 and 2021 there was a pandemic and so there were no large crowds in the Bavarian capital - bitter, because the fans would have celebrated the triple in the legendary Flick summer 2020 frenetically.

Now, in May 2022, Bayern could only present their supporters with the championship trophy.

The Munich organizers know that too little for their own requirements. And anyway: the topics of conversation about the celebration at Marienplatz were of course different.

For example: the future of Robert Lewandowski!

What's next for the Bavarian goal guarantee?

The Pole's contract expires in the summer of 2023, and sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic confirmed that Lewandowski does not want to extend his contract.

So sale in summer 2022?

Or a free transfer a year later?

The situation is currently completely open.

FC Barcelona is mentioned again and again as a possible new club.

Its president Joan Laporta once again referred to the club's economic situation in transfer poker.

The top management is working to "put together a competitive team," Laporta told

.

"That's not easy due to the economic situation."

FC Bayern Munich: farewell to Robert Lewandowski is getting closer

Doesn't necessarily sound like the traditional Spanish club would want to force a Lewandowski purchase by hook or by crook.

According to reports, FC Bayern is calling for a transfer fee of around 40 million euros.

For the heavily indebted Barcelona (over a billion euros in liabilities) a proud price.

But then Laporta followed up with a sentence that must have been noticed with the greatest attention on Säbener Straße: "If we succeed in reorganizing the club's finances, and I believe that we will manage it, all planned measures can be carried out be.” This should also include a Lewandowski purchase.

Swap between Bayern and Barcelona?

Dembélé and Depay appear to be candidates

Several media had recently reported that Munich was interested in Barcelona's Ousmane Dembélé.

The Catalans have made a new offer for the French attacker, according to Laporta, but the latter is considering other offers as well.

The contract expires in June.

"We have made great efforts to ensure that he stays," said Laporta, who announced a timely decision in the case.

Will there be an extension and a spectacular exchange with Bayern (all titles in the overview) afterwards?

Dembélé would probably not be the only candidate for a blockbuster deal: The Spanish newspaper

recently reported without naming sources that Barca really wanted to sign the 33-year-old Lewandowski and hope to be able to start negotiations with Munich in the next few days.

The Catalans should therefore also consider proposing a swap deal with the Dutchman Memphis Depay to the Munich team in poker for Lewandowski.

In any case, Diego Contento believes his ex-club is capable of a big transfer, as he revealed in an exclusive interview with
