Countdown starts to avoid an unpleasant situation for Lewandowski
Bayern insist they expect him back in for preseason training on July 12
Barça hope to sign him and the player is keen to move to Camp Nou
The countdown has started. Despite Robert Lewandowski being on holiday in Mallorca (a few days ago his partner posted a photo of them in the village of Valldemosa in Serra de Tramuntana) and way from all the updates on his Bayern Munich exit, time is flying.
The Poland striker still has more than two more weeks off, but in 20 days he is expected back in Munich for the start of preseason.
On July 12, as stressed by Bayern execs Salihamidzic and Kahn this week, the 2022-23 campaign gets underway for Bayern and Lewandowski is due in.
With Julian Nagelsmann in charge, Thomas Muller renewed and the signings of Sadio Mané, Mazraoui and Ryan Gravenberch (so far) confirmed, all eyes are now on 'Lewy.'
Right now it seems difficult to unclog the issue and avoid a situation that will be unpleasant for everyone. For Lewandowski and for Nagelsmann, mainly.
CLEAR MESSAGE
Lewandowski has said actively and passively that he does not want to complete the last year of his contract and that he wants to continue his career at Barça.
The first offer from Barça was ignored. And between trying to bring in capital, castling Bayern and agreeing on the figures, 20 days seems like a very short time...
