Bayern Munich broke their silence and for the first time in the past few hours commented on the news of their agreement to sell Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona.

Iconic network Sky Sports has confirmed that the two clubs have reached an agreement to transfer Lewandowski to the Camp Nou for 45 million euros, in addition to 5 million euros in incentives on a three-year contract in addition to an additional fourth year. .

Bavarian club general manager Oliver Kahn told the German newspaper Bild about this and said: “When there is a good offer, negotiations are settled.”

He added: “Two months ago we didn’t have offers or even good alternatives to replace him, but things have changed.”

He continued: “Barcelona made a good offer to agree to sell Lewandowski and we also had a lot of success bringing in a player of great style like Sadio Mane.”

And he continued his statements: “So we reached an oral agreement with Barcelona, ​​my job is to get the best for the club, and in the end we felt it was better to give Lewandowski permission to leave.”

On why he changed his mind, he said: “Holding something out of being overly stubborn or out of selfishness is the biggest sign of weakness for me, but we’re always learning what’s best for us at Bayern Munich” as well as for the fans. ”
