Bayern Munich can ‘easily’ get the €5 million variables in Lewandowski’s Barcelona deal

One of the biggest talking points of the last summer transfer window was Robert Lewandowski’s move away from Bayern Munich. The Pole left the Bavarian giants to join Barcelona in a deal worth €45 million + €5 million in variables.

This saga lasted a fair while, too, with the two parties unable to see eye-to-eye for the transfer fee. However, in the end, they met common ground, with Barcelona succumbing to Bayern’s €50 million tag, but using bonuses.

Those bonuses are fairly easy to achieve for Bayern, though, as reported by BILD. The deal is, apparently, dependent on Lewandowski’s personal numbers more than Barcelona’s success through the season.

Lewa has gotten off to an excellent start with Barcelona, scoring 12 goals and giving four assists in 11 appearances in the league. He also has five goals in four appearances in the Champions League, including a hat-trick against Viktoria Plzen on gameday one.

In fact, only Erling Haaland has more goals than Lewandowski this season in the top five leagues, with five goals separating the former Bundesliga duo.

So, at present, if Lewandowski continues at this rate, he will likely end up achieving the goals Bayern and Barcelona have set out for him in the contract.

The Blaugranes would have liked the Champions League to go along with it, but at present, it seems largely impossible right now. Either way, Lewandowski is set to face off against Bayern at the Camp Nou tonight.
