The Polish star is very vocal about his intention to leave Bayern Munich.  In a previous public statement, he said his “story at Bayern is over”. Hence, Barcelona are trying to negotiate with Bayern but due to the financial situation, they can’t proceed. 

Furthermore, Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer says he is “confident” that Robert Lewandowski will not have a chance to leave the club this summer. 

Despite his Bundesliga title success, the striker is certain that he won’t extend his contract at Bayern. 

As reported by Goal, Hainer thinks that Robert Lewandowski should keep his thought of leaving quietly. Or at least settle it with his management first. However, Bayern have no reason to sell Lewandowski this summer and he is not bothered about his potential suitors. 

As he said in an interview with BILD: “A contract is a contract! Where are we going if a player can end a contract prematurely while we as a club would have to pay him in full up to the last day of the term?

“I was a bit surprised that Robert chose to go public, I wouldn’t have done it in his place.

“Bayern is a club that treats its players very well, that does everything to enable them to perform at their best. And I have to say, appreciation is not a one-way street!”

“We’re in the fortunate position that we don’t have any financial difficulties,” he added. “We want to have the best players and Robert is one of the best.

“That’s why I’m confident that he’ll be with us again next season. Robert is a full professional, he wants to play football.”

Meanwhile, Bayern are on their quest to sign Sadio Mane. Increasing their team in terms of attacking for the next season. However, Liverpool turn down their initial offer. 

“If we really want a player, we are able to get him, but he has to suit us,” Hainer said.
