Robert Lewandowski’s agent Pini Zahavi dined with Mateu Alemany in Barcelona, reports Sport† The Barcelona technical director has reportedly signed a two-year contract for the 33-year-old striker, with an option for another year. Barcelona would be willing to put a hefty transfer fee on the table for Lewandowski, who will be committed to Bayern Munich for another year after this season.
Zahavi met with Alemany on Wednesday, the usually well-informed Spanish journalist Gerard Romero reported Sport† The subject of discussion at this meeting would be Robert Lewandowski’s contract offer. The Pole wants a long-term three-year contract, but Barcelona will not go beyond two years with an option for a third year.
Barcelona are willing to buy out Lewandowski’s one-year contract, according to Romero. The ‘economic situation’ of the club offers room for a maximum of 35 million euros. Zahavi will return to Munich on Thursday with the offer from Barcelona, where he will present the offer. The offer of the Catalans may be used by the agent to enforce a contract for several years at Bayern.
Rumors of Lewandowski’s departure were previously denied by both Bayern and Barcelona. Oliver Kahn, Chairman of the Board of of the Rekordmeister, said it was a “nonsense story” and that Lewandowski will continue to play for Bayern for at least another year. Also trainer Julian Nagelsmann could not imagine that the top scorer wanted to leave. From the Spanish camp, it was Alemany who denied having any contact with Lewandowski. He called the rumors “speculation to fill the pages.”
