The story of the potential transfer of Robert Lewandowski from Bayern to Barcelona is gradually turning into a scandal. The Polish striker publicly announced his desire to leave the club a year before the expiration of the contract, but the Munich leadership is in no hurry to part with the player. The Germans are asking the Spaniards for an amount that they are not yet ready to agree to, so the football player is looking for other ways to put pressure on current employers.

It looks like the dirtiest tricks are about to come into play. At one time, Lewandowski had already pulled off a similar trick, forcing Borussia to let him go to Bayern. Now Robert wants to piss off the Munich bosses with disgusting behavior.

For the sake of the transfer, the Pole is even ready to disgrace himself in front of his teammates! Well, character.

What’s wrong with Lewandowski’s transfer?

Robert Lewandowski announced his desire to leave Bayern shortly after the end of the season. With the Munich club, the striker has already won all possible trophies, including the Champions Cup, and has become a living legend of German football, surpassing Gerd Müller’s “eternal” record for goals in a season in the Bundesliga. The 33-year-old Pole decided it was time for him to move on, or at least try something new before retiring.

Barcelona wanted to buy an experienced forward, and Lewandowski liked this option. However, in Bayern, a possible deal was perceived without much enthusiasm. From the very beginning, the club’s management stated that they were not going to let Robert go anywhere. Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic reminded the player that his contract with the team expires in a year and that the striker must work it out to the end. The general director of Bayern, Oliver Kahn, took the same position: the club is not ready to part with such a valuable staff.

Not surprisingly, this confrontation soon turned into a full-fledged conflict. Robert and his agent continued to insist on the transfer, while Bayern continued to stand their ground. In June, Barcelona offered Munich 35 million for a striker, but was refused: in Germany they asked for almost twice as much. In July, the Catalans, according to rumors, are already ready to pay 50 million for a player, but even this amount may not convince the stubborn Germans.

shameful sabotage

Lewandowski, it seems, has already understood that he will not be able to negotiate with the Bavarian authorities in a good way. Now Robert is ready to influence the club in other ways: for the sake of a transfer to Barcelona, ​​the Pole was ready to sacrifice even the reputation of a professional.

Lewandowski’s possible boycott of Bayern’s training sessions became known back in early June. Then the former agent of the football player Mike Bartel spoke about this, recalling that at one time Robert put pressure on Borussia in a similar way: Dortmund did not want to let their star go to Munich. Then the club managed to “squeeze” the player and make him work out the contract to the end, but this time the Pole may not repeat his past mistakes and go to the end.

According to Bild, the star striker is already up to his old tricks. But instead of boycotting the training, he decided to use it to piss off his superiors.

In a recent class, Robert did everything to show his attitude to the situation. Firstly, the usually punctual football player was late for training by 6 minutes, and even went to her last. Secondly, in the morning the Pole had practically no contact with teammates, whom, apparently, he had already recorded as former.

Thirdly, and most importantly, Lewandowski worked out with apparent reluctance, and in the evening he even refused to perform one of the coach’s tasks. He generally ignored Nagelsmann throughout the day: when a young specialist made a speech, the player did not honor him with his attention.

It is surprising that for the sake of moving to a new club, the Polish footballer was ready to behave so shamefully in front of yesterday’s comrades. Business is business, but for an eminent player, this is certainly unworthy behavior. And if Lewandowski does not disdain such tricks, Bayern, perhaps, really should let him go. After all, the attacker is probably ready to go even further and is just testing the waters. These scandals will not benefit anyone, and for 50 million, the Germans may well find a good replacement for their center forward. So it is better not to bring this conflict to the limit.
