Lewandowski has also received prominent company in the rumor mill: Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho is associated with the German record champions. (Transfermarkt The hottest rumors in the transfer ticker)
But could Sancho actually move to the Bavarian capital and Lewandowski leave it?
England’s football powers are chasing Sancho
It is no longer a secret that Sancho is basically considering saying goodbye to Borussia Dortmund.
The club followed suit with the winger SPORT1-Information also made a gentlemen’s agreement, according to which Sancho is allowed to leave BVB in the summer. But that is tied to one condition – and that has to do with a lot of money.
The Borussia want to see a sum between 85 and 90 million euros for the offensive star. A little less than it was in summer 2020, but still a lot of money. Especially during the corona pandemic.
All traces regarding Sancho so far led to the British island. Several clubs there are keen on the England international. Manchester United appear to have pole position in the race for the 21-year-old. This is also Sancho’s dream solution. But Liverpool and Chelsea are also likely to have chances.
The problem: Even the English football powers are financially troubled, which is why it is unclear whether one of the clubs can afford the proud sum. According to Daily Star United is currently preparing an offer, but the truthfulness of this message will first have to be shown.

Would Bayern pay the mega-sum for Sancho?
Usually the more serious one Telegraph has now surprisingly brought Bayern into play and made Sancho in Germany even hotter.
From a purely financial perspective, FCB is one of the best of all the top clubs in Europe. The people of Munich have been budgeting consistently well for years and are behaving prudently even in the pandemic, even though they are also feeling the consequences of the corona.
At first glance, it actually sounds as if Bayern could join the transfer poker for Sancho. To SPORT1-Information, Bayern want to take it easy on the transfer market in the summer, transfer fees in the region called up will not be paid. A Sancho transfer should therefore be almost impossible.

Is Lewandowski “insecure”?
The Lewandowski topic could once again be hotter.
It is almost part of the Bavarian tradition that speculation about the departure of the Pole is boiling up. It won’t be any different this year.
The 32-year-old is under contract in Munich until 2023. To SPORT1-Information his advisor Pini Zahavi has already felt in the executive suite whether a change is an option. Although he received a clear rejection, the topic is far from off the table.
“Zahavi is already creating a bit of a mood in the background,” revealed Christian Falk, head of football at the picture, im CHECK24 double pass: “When Zahavi realizes that something is going again, he calls Chelsea and calls and then comes this and the rumor. Zahavi used to be a journalist himself. He knows exactly how to do it.”
Falk believes that rumors about another Dortmund player also play a role for the goalscorer: Erling Haaland.
“Lewandowski is often a little insecure when he reads the newspapers with us. The Haaland rumors from Bayern, that annoys him. Nobody has stood up and said: ‘No, we won’t get him.’ He’s a world footballer, that was his goal. He’s also won the Champions League. If he now realizes that Bayern are on a younger man again … “
Falk remembered the CHECK24 double pass of a similar situation with Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku: “I once heard that Lewandowski found out that Bayern were thinking of getting Lukaku. Something was going on at Bayern! He had to be promised that Lukaku is not picked up. Then everything was fine again. “
Are you interested in Lewandowski from England?
As with Sancho, traces of Lewandowski lead to England.
ESPN reports that both Pep Guardiola with Manchester City and Thomas Tuchel with Chelsea are said to be very interested in signing the world footballer. Real Madrid has always been one of Lewandowski’s dream destinations.
If he were to break Müller’s record (he was missing two goals in the last two games), he would have achieved everything he could with Bayern. Therefore, it is not far-fetched to imagine that Lewandowski could look for one last challenge in his career.
If the Pole actually asked the bosses to change, it could be difficult to keep him.
But Bayern have one factor on their side: Lewandowski’s hunger. He is happy at Bayern and knows that he has a team around him with which he can reach for the pot of the handle again next season. Despite his titles and records in Munich, the goalgetter did not seem full in the end. And finally, the supposed swirl around him always resulted in a contract extension that was satisfactory for all parties.
