Bayern Munich, through the mouth of its sports director Hasan Salihamidzic, has confirmed this Saturday that its footballer Robert Lewandowski has asked to leave the club this summer. However, he also made clear once again the position of the Bavarian entity, which has Lewandowski for next season.

“I spoke with Lewa. During the conversation he informed me that he did not want to accept our offer to extend the contract and that he would like to leave the club," Salihamidzic explained before the Bundesliga match against Wolfsburg. "He told me that he would like to try something new, but our position has not changed, Lewa has a contract until June 30, 2023. That is a fact."

What is clear is that the Polish international, who has a contract until June 2023, is not going to renew his relationship with Bayern, so in two summers he could leave for another club without leaving a euro in the Bavarian coffers. something that does not worry its leaders.

"I don't worry about it, we have never changed position," Salihamidzic said. The only way for Bayern to profit financially from the striker's departure would be to sell him this year.

A possible move to which several leading clubs in Europe remain very attentive, including Fútbol Club Barcelona. For the group led by Xavi Hernández, the Pole would be a great reinforcement, but everything will depend on the financial situation in which Barça will be able to go to the transfer market.

Lewandowski, 33, has 343 goals in a Bayern shirt. Some figures that make understandable the position of the German club of not wanting to let him out.
