Nothing is going well between Robert Lewandowski and his club.

The Polish striker opened hostilities on Monday in an attempt to force his departure from Bayern Munich, declaring that his "history" with the club had "come to an end", attracting a harsh comment from the boss of the German champion .

"One thing is certain today: my story with Bayern has come to an end," said the 33-year-old international during a press conference with the Polish selection.

Several outlets are reporting that he wants to join Barcelona in the offseason.

The striker, who scored 344 goals in eight seasons at Bayern, is under contract with the Bavarian club until the summer of 2023, and the German team so far have said they want to keep him, even if it means letting him go in a year without transfer compensation.

Esteem "doesn't just go one way"

“After everything that has happened over the past few months, I can't imagine continuing good cooperation.

I realize that a transfer will be the best solution for each of the two parties, ”added the double best player FIFA 2020 and 2021. “I think that Bayern will not retain me only because they have the right to do so. do,” said Robert Lewandowski.

Bayern president Oliver Kahn has slammed his prolific goalscorer's exit.

"I don't know why Robert decided to go this route, such statements in public don't help anyone," he told German sports news site

Sport1

.

"With us, Robert was twice crowned FIFA player of the year, I think he should know what Bayern brings to him.

Esteem does not just work one way, ”said the former German international goalkeeper.

Two weeks ago, the Polish striker had already made it known that he did not wish to extend his current contract with the Bavarian club.

And the only way for the Bavarians to make a financial profit from his departure would be to sell him this summer.

The words of the Polish striker on Monday risk making cohabitation very difficult from now on.

Many records

At Bayern since 2014, Lewandowski notably won the 2020 Champions League and eight German league titles with Munich, in addition to his first two titles won with Dortmund.

He also broke a significant number of goalscoring records, the most publicized of which was the number of goals in a single Bundesliga season.

With 41 goals last season, he brought down a mark that the Germans thought was eternal: the 40 goals of "Bombardier" Gerd Müller scored during the 1971-72 season.

According to some media, FC Barcelona would have made an offer of 32 million euros to recruit him.

Newspapers in Germany also believe that the Pole was angered by attempts by Bayern to recruit Norwegian prodigy Erling Haaland, who eventually left Dortmund for Manchester City, as centre-forward.
