Agent: Lewandowski wants Bayern exit
Print Edition
Robert Lewandowski wants to leave Bayern Munich, according to agent Pini Zahavi.
Zahavi told Sport Bild magazine yesterday that the Bundesliga鈥檚 top scorer 鈥渇eels that he needs a change and a new challenge in his career.鈥
Zahavi, the Israeli agent who helped facilitate Neymar鈥檚 transfer from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain last year, said Lewandowski鈥檚 reasons 鈥渁re not money or a specific club, as nearly all top clubs would like to have the world鈥檚 best striker in their ranks.鈥
The 29-year-old Poland striker, whose contract with Bayern runs to 2021, wants to leave this offseason, Zahavi said. 鈥淓veryone in Bayern鈥檚 club leadership has a great career to show for themselves. They should understand his situation,鈥 Zahavi added.
There was no immediate response from Bayern.
Lewandowski has scored 106 goals in 126 Bundesliga games for the club since switching from league rival Borussia Dortmund in 2014. He helped the team win the league each year, chipping in 29 goals this season.
Speaking at Poland鈥檚 World Cup training camp in Arlamow, Lewandowski was evasive when asked about Zahavi鈥檚 reported comments. 鈥淢y manager is taking care of that and I want to focus on what should be done during the World Cup,鈥 he said, referring to Zahavi. 鈥淭his is what managers are for, to take care of such things, so that players can have a free mind.鈥
Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge recently ruled out a transfer. 鈥淲e know what we have in Robert Lewandowski. Nobody need worry, he will also play football here in Munich next year,鈥 Rummenigge said.
Lewandowski parted with previous agent Cezary Kucharski in February, when he turned to Zahavi.
Sport Bild reported that Real Madrid鈥檚 interest has cooled after Lewandowski鈥檚 failure to score in the UEFA Champions League semifinals against the club, but that Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Manchester United are interested.
