Rumour Has It: Lewandowski requests Barcelona transfer

Lewandowski,
33,
is
in
the
midst
of
a
historic
season,
averaging
more
than
a
goal
per
game
in
both
the
Bundesliga
and
Champions
League.
He
has
34
goals
and
three
assists
in
33
league
fixtures,
and
13
goals
with
three
assists
in
his
10
Champions
League
games.

With
his
contract
set
to
expire
in
just
over
12
months,
there
was
a
feeling
Bayern
would
prefer
to
hold
on
to
the
Polish
star
to
boost
their
chances
in
the
Champions
League
instead
of
cashing
in,
but
that
may
not
be
the
case.

LEWANDOWSKI
PUSHES
FOR
BARCA
MOVE

Crowned
The
Best
FIFA
Men’s
Player
two
years
in
a
row,
and
coming
off
his
third
consecutive
season
with
at
least
34
league
goals,
Lewandowski’s
time
in
Munich
appears
to
be
over
as
Sport
reports
he
has
his
heart
set
on
a
Barcelona
move.

Whether
motivated
by
cashing
in
while
the
club
still
can,
or
simply
honouring
the
wishes
of
one
of
the
greatest
players
to
ever
wear
the
badge,
Nagelsmann
is
said
to
be
on
board
with
Lewandowski’s
decision
and
will
try
to
facilitate
the
transfer.

The
report
includes
a
note
that
it
may
be
a
difficult
move
for
the
Spanish
giants
to
pull
off
financially,
although
he
is
likely
central
to
their
off-season
plans,
meaning
the
club
will
do
everything
in
their
power
to
prioritise
making
it
happen.
