Robert Lewandowski headed to FC Barcelona last summer and ended his successful tenure at Bayern Munich. As it turned out, the Pole’s priority was not “Catalan pride”. He originally sought a transfer to Real Madrid.
The 34-year-old forward has adapted well in the new environment and recorded phenomenal numbers. During the current season, the captain of the Polish national team hit the net 20 times and recorded another 5 assists.
Robert Lewandowski’s summer transfer alone raised quite a few emotions. The striker was in open conflict with the management of Bayern Munich and clearly admitted that he wanted to leave. After weeks of speculation, the Pole finally found his way to the Camp Nou, where he has been putting in great performances.
The seven-time top scorer of the German Bundesliga thus fulfilled his dream of playing in Spain. Originally, however, he wanted to represent the colors of another giant from the Iberian Peninsula.
According to the portal Relevo.com, the experienced sniper originally hoped for a job in Real Madrid. His agent even contacted representatives of the royal big club, but they quickly ruled out this possibility.
The team from the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu did not intend to pay more than 40 million euros for a footballer of an advanced age. In addition, Madrid were then fully focused on Kylian Mbappé, who ended up extending his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, which caused considerable resentment.
Of course, the topic of Robert Lewandowski’s transfer to Real Madrid is not new at all. Similar news appeared in the past, but as we know, this transfer was not and probably will never be realized.
FC Barcelona with the Pole in the squad is currently in first place in the Spanish LaLiga table.
