“My era there is over”: Lewandowski confirms Bayern Munich exit

There is no secret that Robert Lewandowski’s relationship with Bayern Munich is starting to fade with each passing day.

During the final matchday of the Bundesliga season, the striker had confirmed his intention to reject a new contract extension at Bayern. But despite his willingness to leave, the club have remained adamant in keeping hold of his services.

With one year remaining in his contract at Allianz Arena, Bayern are well within their powers to do so. But the whole situation has left Lewandowski disgruntled.

In a recent presser, Lewandowski has offered his frustration towards Bayern while effectively confirming his exit from the Bavarian outfit in the summer.

“My era at Bayern is over. I don’t see any possibility to continue playing for this club anymore,” Lewandowski said at the presser (h/t Toni Juanmarti).

The Polish international went on to speak about his contract situation, asking Bayern to let him leave despite having a year left in his contract.

“Bayern is a serious club so I hope they won’t keep me just because they can. A transfer is the best solution. I hope they don’t stop me,” he added.

Lewandowski’s comments could serve as a massive boost for FC Barcelona, who are currently locked in negotiations with Bayern over a deal to sign the forward this summer.

The Catalans are finding a few financial roadblocks in their bid to sign the Pole, with Bayern still holding out for a hefty price tag. But with the player constantly pressuring the Bavarians, a summer move to Camp Nou could soon be on the horizon.
