With his contract set to expire in June 2023, Robert Lewandowskiās days at Bayern Munich are coming to an end. As a matter of fact, the Pole star made clear he wants to leave this summer.āItās very possible that this was my last game for Bayern. I cannot say that at 100%, but it may have been (my last). We want to find the best solution for me and for the club,ā Lewandowski said after a 2-2 draw with Wolfsburg onMatchday 34.
Needless to say, many European heavyweights would probably be interested in the prolific striker. However, it seems that FC Barcelona are the biggest candidates to acquire his services for next season.
Lewandowski is believed to prefer a Camp Nou move above any other option, while Xavi Hernandez would certainly be delighted to add a world-class striker to his roster. Bayern are reluctant to let him leave, but they could accept his departure if the followingconditions are met.
Bayern sign these two players
According to Sky Sport, Bayern Munich will only sell Lewandowski if they previously secure the signings of two players who can replace the Pole superstar. The players in question areSasa Kalajdzic andSadio Mane.

While moving to Bayern would certainly be a huge step forthe Stuttgart striker, Mane could also consider a move away from Anfield this summer as he enters the final year of his contract with Liverpool. However, Barcelona would also have to meet the Bavariansā price tag to acquire Lewy, of course.
Barcelona meet Bayernās price
Spanish outlet Marca reports that Barcelona and Lewandowski have already agreed on terms. The Catalans, however, have yet to satisfy Bayern Munichās demands for the prolific goalscorer.
Bayern would not sell Lewandowski for less than ā¬50 million, a price that seems unaffordable for Barca as of now. The Cules were reportedly looking forward to offering as much as ā¬40m including add-ons, but that wouldnāt seal the deal for the Germans. This will probably be a long negotiation, but if Lewandowskiās desire is to play for Barcelona at all costs, it should only be a matter of time before he joins them.
