Will Gravenberch not come until 2023?
Despite the announcement by Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Kahn that they were “not crazy” about letting go of a striker “who scores 30 to 40 goals for us every year”, rumors of Robert Lewandowski’s departure persist. The attacker is primarily associated with FC Barcelona. Like now the “table football“ reported, a departure is possible this summer – for a record fee.

With a sum of 40 million euros and more, Lewandowski, who is still tied to FC Bayern until 2023, could leave the record champions. The most expensive sale from Munich so far is Douglas Costa (31), who switched to Juventus Turin in 2018 for just those 40 million euros. Sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic recently emphasized that they were “in exchange” with the captain of the Polish national team about a longer cooperation, which shouldn’t be that easy.

According to the report, FC Bayern is currently refusing to extend the contract – probably by at least two years. Lewandowski is also demanding more salary, which is no longer so easy at FC Bayern in times of the corona pandemic. “We are a bit financially hampered by the pandemic,” coach Julian Nagelsmann recently explained. “We don’t have the leeway we need to take the big step.” With a rumored annual gross salary of EUR 20 million, the 33-year-old is already the top earner at FC Bayern.

The situation with Serge Gnabry (26), whose contract also expires in 2023, is similar to that of Lewandowski. Negotiations have been going on for four months, but the talks have stalled. According to the “Kicker”, demands from the Gnabry side for a “significant increase in salary” would definitely not be met, also because the offensive player is subject to large fluctuations in performance.

In addition to Corentin Tolisso (27), whose expiring contract will not be extended according to the report, Marcel Sabitzer (28) could also leave Munich after just one year. The disappointing Austrian, who was signed by RB Leipzig last summer for 15 million euros, could be sold “at a reasonably tolerable loss”, as the “kicker” puts it.
Nagelsmann, on the other hand, is looking for a “six” as reinforcement. The Bayern coach appreciates ex-RB protégé Konrad Laimer (24), whose contract ends in 2023, but who is also associated with Borussia Dortmund. However, it is likely that Ajax talent Ryan Gravenberch (19) will find his way to Säbener Straße, just unclear when.

According to information from “De Telegraaf” FC Bayern has now increased its offer in the transfer poker game from 15 to 17 million euros, while reducing the bonuses from 10 to 6 million euros. However, the Amsterdamers would continue to demand a total of around 30 million euros. Since Munich have now indicated that they do not want to add any more, there is a high probability that Gravenberch will enter his last year of contract with Ajax if Bayern’s offer is not accepted. Gravenberch would only change free of charge next summer.
