8 seasons of achievements and titles came to an end for Polish striker Robert Lewandowski with Bayern Munich, and the end of the story was accompanied by an “insult” from the German club, which sparked a “war” between the player and his club.
After lengthy negotiations and a public spat, Bayern Munich announced on Saturday that they had reached an agreement with Barcelona to transfer Lewandowski to Spain.
Bayern Munich fans were shocked by Lewandowski’s public exit and his sharp announcement of his desire to leave, insisting he will no longer play for the Bavarian giants, so what sparked the war?
The main thing that angered Lewandowski was what German reports had previously suggested was the “humiliating offer” from his club Bayern Munich.
According to German media reports, Bayern Munich have offered Lewandowski a one-year extension after his contract expires in 2023, a period Lewandowski deemed “humiliating” for his achievements at the club.
According to reports, the additional year that Bayern offered him was for a much lower salary than his current salary, which caused controversy.
The second point that fueled this “war” was the secret meeting between Hassan Salehamidzic, the sports director of Bayern Munich, and father of Norwegian striker Erling Holland, to discuss his transfer to Bayern to replace Lewandowski.
Lewandowski was aware of Holland’s negotiations and during a meeting with Holland’s father, he told the Polish striker that he could go to Bayern up to 50%.
There, Lewandowski sensed his club’s obvious desire to replace him, so he began planning to leave.
The third thing that prompted him to leave is his strong disagreement with the young coach Julian Nagelsmann and his different tactical plans from the previous coaches.
This was pointed out to him by sources close to the club during last season, who insisted that Lewandowski was at odds with the manager over his new plans which led to the German club’s early exit from the Champions League.
These three factors ignited the war and led to Lewandowski moving to Barcelona, where he would sign a contract for 3 seasons and “punish” himself, which he decided to inflict on Bayern Munich, for their treatment of him. , completes The end of the trip
