Lewandowski wants to leave immediately
Robert Lewandowski is now openly urging an immediate departure from Bayern Munich.
»My story at FC Bayern is over.
I can't imagine another good cooperation," said the striker at a press conference of the Polish national team: "Bayern is a serious club.
I hope he won't hold me just because he can."
Lewandowski, whose contract runs until 2023, had previously flirted with a move to FC Barcelona.
"Spain is great," enthused the star player on the sidelines of the Formula 1 race in Monaco on the Polish TV channel Eleven Sports PL: "We have a house in Mallorca, the feeling for Spain is there, and I think it's a really good one Place – not just to go on vacation.«
Bayern had recently emphasized several times that they would not give up Lewandowski until next summer at the earliest.
The heavily indebted Barça is said to be offering a transfer fee of 32 million euros.

Tolisso leaves FCB
One thing is clear: midfielder Corentin Tolisso will leave Bayern after five years.
"Even in difficult phases, he never let himself be thrown off course and always gave everything for Bayern.
We wish him every success on his future path," said sporting director Hasan Salihamidžić in a statement.

Recently there was speculation that the 27-year-old would move to Sevilla FC.
Luhukay leaves Venlo despite contract extension
Coach Jos Luhukay is leaving Dutch second division side VVV-Venlo just four months after his contract extension.
The 58-year-old made this decision together with the club's management, the club said.
It is “better for both sides to end the cooperation now with a view to the future of the association.
After careful consideration, Luhukay does not see himself as the right person to accompany this process," the club's statement said.
Luhukay took charge of his hometown side in March 2021 and was set to hold VVV-Venlo in the Eredivisie.
But that didn't work and the club was relegated.
In the 2nd division Venlo only came in tenth place and missed the promotion playoffs.
Nevertheless, Luhukay's contract was extended until the summer of 2023.
"The interest of the club is paramount and I think now is a suitable moment for myself and the club to leave this to others," Luhukay said, according to the statement.

Lotka only made the surprising career leap from number five to goalkeeper in the relegation battle after signing in Dortmund with the Berliners.
According to Bobic, Hertha had hoped Lotka would stay, but: "He could no longer be held," said Bobic on Sunday.
