Bayern want at least €50 million for Robert Lewandowski – report

As reported by SportBILD, Barcelona have lodged a new bid for Bayern Munich superstar Robert Lewandowski, worth around €35 million. However, the Bavarian giants are unlikely to respond to the offer as they deem it to be too low.

Instead, the report states that the German champions will want at least a sum of €50 million for their 33-year-old striker.

Lewandowski is entering the final year of his contract with Bayern Munich and has made it clear that he wishes to leave the club for a new challenge in his career. Barcelona are his desired destination, with the Catalans also very much intent on landing the Poland captain.

So much so that, the Blaugrana have already agreed personal terms over a three-year deal with Lewandowski.

However, Bayern Munich have been reluctant to do business and continue to keep insisting that their ace goalscorer will stay at the club and see out the remainder of his contract which expires in 2023.

Barcelona had already lodged an opening bid of around €32.5 million plus add-ons, but Bayern did not respond to the offer at all.

The German club’s director, Hasan Salihamidzic insisted recently that he ‘does not care’ whether Barcelona return with an improved offer.

Now that the Blaugrana have indeed returned with a slightly higher bid of €35 million, it is once again likely to fall on deaf ears at the Allianz Arena. It has been claimed that Bayern seek a sum of €50 million for Lewandowski, which they want to be paid in a single instalment.

It now remains to be seen if the La Liga heavyweights return with an improved offer for Lewandowski, who has been earmarked as their primary target for the summer transfer window.
