Lewandowski wanted Real but they turned him down and that’s how he ended up at Barcelona
Robert Lewandowski’s first choice when he left Bayern was Real but according to Spanish Relevo, they turned him down and turned to Barcelona.
Last July, Robert Lewandowski moved to Spain to wear the Barcelona shirt after a months-long transfer streak.
However, according to Spanish relevo, the Catalans were not the first choice of the Polish superstar who left Bayern after seven years.
Instead, Real was his priority, the publication states how the club’s project fitted into what Lewandowski was looking for.
However real ruled out a takeover, on the one hand because of his age (33 years old) and on the other hand because he had Karim Benzema in his squad, who had the best season of his career.
In fact, the ‘merengues’ thought they couldn’t be combined and Barcelona seized the opportunity and made him theirs.
