Robert Lewandowski says he didn’t consider any other offer except Barcelona’s

Speaking to Onet Sport (h/t Fabrizio Romano), Robert Lewandowski has once again reiterated his desire to leave Bayern Munich this summer, while confirming that he has his heart set on a transfer to Barcelona.

“No other offers were even considered by me other than that of Barcelona. I want to leave Bayern, that’s clear,” he said.

The 33-year-old is entering the final year of his contract at the Allianz Arena and has made it abundantly clear that he does not wish to sign a new deal with Bayern.

Lewandowski, who plundered 50 goals in all competitions in the 2021/22 campaign is already believed to have agreed personal terms over a €9 million per year contract with Barcelona as he prepares to move to Camp Nou in the summer.

However, Bayern Munich are playing hardball in negotiations and have maintained that they do not wish to let their ace goalscorer leave, stating that they expect him to stay and see out the remainder of his contract.

It has led to the relationship between the two clubs going sour, with Lewandowski once again confirming that he has no desire whatsoever to stay with the Bavarian giants beyond the summer.

As quoted by Fabrizio Romano, he said: “I only want to leave Bayern. Loyalty and respect are more important than work. The best way is to find a solution together. Something has died in me, I want to leave Bayern for more emotions in my life.”

With Lewandowski reaffirming his desire to leave Bayern Munich and sign for Barcelona, it remains to be seen if this brings about a change in the German champions’ stance.

If not, reports have claimed that Lewandowski might look to activate FIFA’s Article 17, a.k.a Webster ruling, which would allow him to terminate his contract with Bayern by paying a compensation.
