Robert Lewandowski’s contract situation is causing more and more unrest at Bayern Munich. There have not yet been any talks and the Lewandowski camp is apparently surprised at the Munich team’s inaction. Lothar Matthäus is also critical of the actions of the executive floor.
In his “Sky” column, Lothar Matthäus spoke about Robert Lewandowski and FC Bayern Munich. And has a clear opinion on the lack of contract talks: “So how can it be that the best soccer player in the world hasn’t heard about it yet?” Matthäus alludes to Lewandowski’s statement, who said after the Frankfurt game that he heard it for the first time that FCB absolutely wanted to keep the FIFA world footballer. However, the Sky expert and former world footballer is certain that this personality would have been dealt with differently under Uli Hoeneß.
“Hoeneß would have acted according to the motto: facts instead of empty phrases”
“I dare say that when asked about Lewandowski’s future, Uli Hoeneß at least literally devoured the reporter. Hoeneß would have acted according to the motto in such an interview: facts instead of empty phrases,” Matthäus clarifies and gives the German record champions advice: “I would advise Bayern what Franz Beckenbauer did to me when it came to Lewandowski. I was 37 years old when Beckenbauer said to me: “Lothar, you can enter the end of your contract period yourself.”
Strong words from the 60-year-old who is sure Bayern should do everything they can to keep the FIFA World Player of the Year. “Bayern should do everything they can to ensure that this player keeps scoring for this great club for many years to come. He fits perfectly with the style of play of this team and the values of this club “and further: “And if the world footballer reveals in front of the camera that he has not yet been told that you really want to keep him, then I would prick up his ears.”
So the contract talks are likely to start soon, but how complicated they will be remains to be seen. Here, too, Matthäus warns that he sees the danger that “internal communication at Lewandowski seems to be just as unfortunate as at Süle” and summarizes: “I would have liked Hasan to make a much clearer and clearer statement towards Lewandowski.”. So it remains to be seen how much Kahn, Salihamidzic and Co. will fight for the top scorer.
