The “novel” continues regarding the renewal of Robert Lewandowski with Bayern Munich. On this occasion, the Polish striker demands two conditions to continue wearing the colors of the Bavarian team: a new two-year contract, until 2025, and an increase in his salary .
However, Bayern has the custom of renewing players over 30 years of age for only one year , the same is being considered with respect to Thomas Müller and Manuel Neuer. Beyond the fact that the recent Bundesliga champion would be willing to make an exception for Lewandowski, the salary is a section that could generate conflicts.
In addition, Bayern does not usually exceed certain limits in negotiations salaries; even if this implies letting a player go free, no matter how important it is. The most recent case is that of David Alaba, who left Real Madrid as a free agent.
Lewandowski’s situation
Lewandowski, from 33 years old, he is the highest paid player in Bayern, with a salary of approximately 24 million euros per year, that is , $30.3 million dollars). In this sense, a significant increase in his salary could affect the demands of other players.
Robert’s situation has led to the interest of several great Europeans, including FC Barcelona. And it is that the Pole’s contract is valid until the summer of 2023; while Bayern’s official position is that, at least, the striker will continue in Germany next season.
“I have also read what is said in the media, I can only say that he does not have what to do with me There will be a meeting, something will happen, but we don’t know what. We have to wait. Let’s see what happens, it depends on both parties”, said the European crack a week ago, when he revalidated the Bundesliga title.
In German media, as reported by the Efe agency, the theory has circulated that, regardless of Bayern’s official position, that Lewandowski will at least finish fulfilling his contract, the team would be willing to let him go for at least 40 million euros ($42 million dollars).
