Lewandowski’s move to Barcelona has been single-handedly halted by Bayern’s advisor

A recent report from SportBILD has offered an update on the future of Robert Lewandowski. Although the star striker is still in contention to leave Bayern Munich, the player is frustrated over the club’s sheer unwillingness to keep hold of him beyond the summer.

Lewandowski has already voiced his desire to leave the club and does not wish to return to the FC Bayern camp. But the Bavarians have appeared strongly persistent and are not willing to make it easy for the Barcelona camp.

As per BILD, Lewandowski’s camp believes the two Bayern bosses, in the form of chairman Oliver Kahn and sporting CEO Hasan Salihamidzic are not the ones holding him back at the Allianz Arena.

Although the two were keen on keeping hold of the Polish international, they have softened their stance in recent weeks, especially following Bayern’s capture of Sadio Mane, coupled with the pursuit of defensive lynchpin Matthijs de Ligt.

Lewandowski’s camp believes it is Uli Hoeness, who is playing a key role in convincing Bayern Munich to retain his services this summer.

Hoeness is considered a legendary figure at Bayern, as he has presided over most of the club’s glory years, either as a president, a CEO or the chairman of the supervisory board.

Although the 70-year-old relinquished his position in 2019, he is still serving as the club’s vice-chairman and honorary president. He is also a key member of the supervisory board and has a great influence on Salihamidzic.

Lewandowski is certain it is Hoeness who is obstructing his departure from the Allianz Arena. The Pole feels the 70-year-old is “ungrateful” even after everything he has done for the club and wants the situation to resolve quickly, as he looks to force through a move to Barcelona in the coming weeks.
