FC Bayern: Oliver Kahn contradicts Lewandowski – “Concrete offer” to consultants
There was also confusion about the offer to extend Bayern Munich's contract to Lewandowski.
The Pole claimed not to have received one at all.
“We have to find the best solution for me and for the club.
I didn't get an offer," said the 33-year-old striker on Sky after the last Bundesliga game a week ago.
In this matter, Kahn on the part of Bayern also brought light into the darkness.
"We made his agent a concrete offer," Kahn clarified and continued: "Otherwise we certainly wouldn't say that." Club president Herbert Hainer also recently spoke of an offer.
Due to contradictory statements by Lewandowski, Hainer explained that a written contract would only be drawn up and submitted once everything had been negotiated verbally between the contracting parties.
