The Polish striker wants to come to Camp Nou this summer and will not extend in Bavaria

Everything takes time in a negotiation, pushes and pulls, comings and goings, ups and downs. But Bayern Munich and Barcelona are condemned to agree eventually on Robert Lewandowski. The Polish forward has publicly said that he doesn’t want stay in Munich. He is keen to come to Camp Nou.

The forward knows it can’t happen until the Catalans activate their next piece of financial leverage, which is the sale of 15 per cent more of their TV rights. As Laporta said, they are working on it, but it might not be for another week or so.

The striker must return to training on Tuesday with Bayern Munich. “Going on strike doesn’t fit with his way of being,” explained people close to the forward. He will also have to ear the new Bayern shirt in games against Washington DC and Man City on July 21 and 24, unless a deal is done sooner.

Bayern know Lewandowski is not staying but they won’t make it easy for him to leave cheap. They want 50m euros or more for the forward, for two reasons, one for pride and two so they can use the money on Matthijs de Liga.

In Germany they say Bayern can afford him regardless but the Lewandowski sale would make it easy.
