On May 30, 2022, Robert Lewandowski announced that his time with Bayern Munich had come to an end, sparking speculation about his future plans.
Speaking in Warsaw, Lewandowski stated, "Today it is certain that my story with Bayern has come to an end."
He added that he could not imagine further cooperation with the club, following a series of events over the past few months.
With a year remaining on his contract, Barcelona have reportedly made a 32 million euro offer to sign Lewandowski, who has expressed his desire to live in Spain.
Bayern CEO Oliver Khan and director of sports Hasan Salihamidzic have publicly stated that the club will not let Lewandowski leave before 2023.
However, Lewandowski's agent Pini Zahavi has warned Bayern against insisting on the contract, stating that the issue for Lewandowski is not about extra money, but rather a sense of disrespect from the club's leadership.
As a back-to-back winner of FIFA's best male player award, Lewandowski has won every title available since joining Bayern in 2014, including eight Bundesliga trophies and the Champions League in 2020.
