Lewandowski pushing for a longer contract, Barcelona ready to offer a 3-year deal

Fabrizio Romano has provided an important update on Robert Lewandowski’s status at Bayern Munich, and how Barcelona are ready to capitalise on the same.

The journalists says that Lewandowski is still in favour of extending his contract with Bayern, but wants a three-year contract at the very least. At 33, he wants to secure his future for the coming years, and will only sign a longer deal at any club.

Barcelona, who are in constant contact with his agents, Pini Zahavi, are ready to offer Lewandowski a three-year deal, but no offer has been made yet.

The club wants to sign a ‘star’ in the summer in the form of a striker and considers him as the perfect alternative for their first-choice transfer target Erling Haaland.

The Polish forward is ready to push for an exit this June if he does not get the contract extension he wants. He will not wait to exit as a free agent, especially considering that he’ll be nearly 35 by then.

“Lewandowski has a contract with us. We are currently in contact with him and we want him to stay at Bayern for as long as possible,” Bayern director Oliver Kahn said recently.

“Unhappy? Show me a player who is unhappy and still scores 30-40 goals per season,” he added.

Bayern have an important decision to make in the coming weeks, and should the extension talk hit a roadblock, rest assured, Barcelona will definitely make a ditch effort to sign Lewandowski.

He will not be, however, short of suitors.
