<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/why-robert-lewandowski-celebrates-his-bayern-goals-with-clenched-fists-20220408-0039.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Robert Lewandowski</strong></a> was without any doubt the best striker <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/champions-league-winners-list-by-year-20220526-0035.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Bayern Munich</strong></a> have had in years. Having recorded 344 goals in 375 appearances, the Pole star certainly left a mark at the Bavarians. However, there has been <strong>bad blood</strong> between them since Lewandowski left for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/messi-joins-psg-13-superstars-who-have-left-barcelona-on-bad-terms-20210811-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Barcelona</strong></a>.</p>
<p>With his contract expiring in 2023, the veteran goalscorer pushed hard during the final months of last season to get a summer transfer. Bayern were unwilling to grant his wish but <strong>eventually had no option but to give in</strong>.</p>
<p>His desire to leave never sit well with the <strong>Bundesliga</strong> giants, but it wasn’t just the front office who resented Lewy since then. Even his former teammates have taken subtle shots at the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messi-on-robert-lewandowskis-ballon-dor-comments-he-can-say-what-he-wants-i-dont-care--20220530-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Poland</strong></a> international in recent months.</p>
<h2>Leon Goretzka takes jab at Robert Lewandowski</h2>
<p><strong><em>“Lewy was very spoiled at Bayern, always progressing at least to the Round of 16,”</em>Leon Goretzka</strong> told <em>Sky</em>, via <em>SB Nation</em>. <em>“But it is what it is — now we can no longer take that into consideration.”</em></p>
<p>Curiously, Barcelona and Bayern were drawn together in the <strong>2022-23 UEFA Champions League</strong> group stage. Following a 2-0 win at home, the German side could sendthe Cules to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/teams-with-most-uefa-europa-league-titles-of-all-time-20201023-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Europa League</strong></a> with a victory at the Camp Nou on Wednesday.</p>
<p><em>“When we play against FC Barcelona at the Camp Nou, be it a friendly game or a Champions League final, it doesn’t matter. <strong>It’s going to be a great game that we’re looking forward to,”</strong> </em>Goretzka said. <strong><em>“And we will also do everything to win it.”</em></strong></p>
<p>It wouldn’t be the first time Bayern destroy Barcelona’s Champions League hopes. As a matter of fact, they have already sunk <strong>Xavi Hernandez</strong>‘s side in last year’s group stage. Therefore, all eyes will be on their UCL game this week.</p>

Barcelona: Former Bayern teammate takes subtle shot at Robert Lewandowski

Barcelona: Former Bayern teammate takes subtle shot at Robert Lewandowski - Bolavip US

<p>The soccer world was completely shaken when <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/barcelona-t11" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Barcelona</strong></a> announced club legend <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/lionel-messi-t13" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Lionel Messi</strong></a> would leave Camp Nou. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/psg-t16721" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>PSG</strong></a> have moved fast and the Argentine star is ready to join the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/ligue-1-t40" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Ligue 1</strong></a> side to boost an incredibly talented squad and set up <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/psg-lineup-with-lionel-messi-neymar-mbappe-sergio-ramos-in-a-superteam-20210806-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>one of the mightiest teams of all time</strong></a>. This will probably be the greatest signing in history, but here we’ll look back at<strong>seven othertimes</strong> whenclubs landed superstars<strong>for free</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/psg-roster-2021-2022-list-of-paris-saint-germain-players-this-season-20210809-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Paris Saint-Germain</strong></a> have done awesome business <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messi-could-sign-with-psg-all-the-clubs-arrivals-for-2021-22-season-20210808-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this summer</a> landing <strong>Sergio Ramos</strong>, <strong>Gianluigi Donnarumma</strong>, and <strong>Georginio Wijnaldum</strong> for no cost before landing one of the best in the game history.</p>
<p>Messi’s arrival at Parc des Princes as a free agent might be the most shocking move ever, but over the last few years, we have seen several big-name players switching teams for zero cost and delivering results.</p>
<h2>Robert Lewandowski</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210810_BUS_174120_lewandowski_x1x.jpg_22993414_432f8227.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Robert Lewandowski joined Bayern for free in 2014. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Poland internationalhas left <strong>Borussia Dortmund</strong> at the end of the 2013/14 season after signing a pre-contract with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/bundesliga-t111" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Bundesliga</strong></a> rivals <strong>Bayern Munich</strong> just a few months ago. <strong>Robert Lewandowski</strong> then went on to become <strong>one of the most prolific strikers on the planet</strong>.</p>
<p>He caught the soccer world’s attention by helping the Black and Yellows reaching the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/teams-with-most-uefa-champions-league-titles-of-all-time-20201021-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>UEFA Champions League</strong></a> final in 2012/13 but only one year later he joined the opponents. It was a shocking move at that time, and Lewandowski has certainly lived up to expectations amassing <strong>294 goals in 329 appearances</strong> with the Bavarians.</p>
<h2>Andrea Pirlo</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210810_BUS_174120_pirlo_juventus.jpg_22993414_bbcbe2a3.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Andrea Pirlo joined Juventus in 2011 after running out of contract with AC Milan. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>An Italian legend, <strong>Andrea Pirlo</strong>‘s switch from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/ac-milan-t27122" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>AC Milan</strong></a> to <strong>Juventus</strong>in 2011<b></b>took the soccer community by surprise. Not only he was a <em>Rossoneri</em> legend but one of the country’s finest talents, it didn’t make sense he joined the rivals for free.</p>
<p>He was 31 at the time, but if Milan thought he didn’t have much left,they were completely wrong.<em> The Architect</em> went on to win four <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/serie-a-t47163" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Serie A</strong></a> titles in a row and helped Juve in their UCL 2014/15 run to the grand final.</p>
<h2>Paul Pogba</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210810_BUS_174120_pogba_juve.jpg_22993414_8d55ce8b.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Juve landed Pogba for free in 2012 and sold him in a record-breaking move four years later. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Sometimes you don’t know what you’ve gotin your hands until you lose it. If not, ask <strong>Manchester United</strong>, who let <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/paul-pogba-t183075" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Paul Pogba</strong></a> leave for free in 2012 and only four years later they brought him back in a record-breaking deal.</p>
<p>The Frenchman has had such a fantastic rise with Juventus that the Red Devils considered he was worth the mind-blowing <strong>$115.50 million</strong> bid. Pogba’s free transfer to Juve not only paid off due to his performances but mainly because of the profit the club has made with his exit.</p>
<h2>Sol Campbell</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210810_BUS_174120_sol_campbell.jpg_22993414_40775fda.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Sol Campbell joined Arsenal from north London rivals Tottenham and became a club legend. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Could you leave a club after nine years to join its lifelong rivals? And for free? Well, <strong>Sol Campbell</strong> did it in 2001, when he left <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/tottenham-t142351" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Tottenham</strong></a>to become an <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/arsenal-t418" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Arsenal</strong></a> player in one of the most controversial – but successful – moves in history.</p>
<p>The former Englishdefender, however,became a key piece in <strong>Arsene Wenger</strong>‘s project in golden years for the Gunners. Campbell lifted the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/premier-league-t45" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Premier League</a></strong> trophy twice, including the last one for Arsenal so far belonging to the <em>Invincibles</em>.</p>
<h2>Leon Goretzka</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210810_BUS_174120_leon_goretzka.jpg_22993414_2ccaf706.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Leon Goretzka for free was another great move by Bayern. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/bayern-munich-t112" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bayern Munich</a> have the ability to attract the Bundesliga’s finest talents, but they don’t even have to bother in splashing the cash sometimes. Just like they did when they signed Lewandowski, the Bavarians acquired Schalke’s <strong>Leon Goretzka for free in 2018</strong>.</p>
<p>The German international has quickly made an impact and earned a spot in the starting XI, but he played his best soccer in 2019/20. In a season halted by the pandemic, Bayern returned to the pitch strongly and won the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/uefa-champions-league-all-time-winners-list-by-year-20210526-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Champions League</a> in great fashion with <strong>a Goretzka in his prime</strong>.</p>
<h2>Dani Alves</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210810_BUS_174120_dani_alves.jpg_22993414_10ce3dcd.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Dani Alves left Barcelona as a free agent to join Juventus in 2016. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Eight years and 23 trophies later, <strong>Dani Alves</strong> bid farewell to Barcelona in 2016 as a free agent and chased a new challenge with Italian giants <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/juventus-t12" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Juventus</a> in Serie A. The following season he was on the move again and joined PSG also for free.</p>
<p>Even though he didn’t stay long in Italy, his one-year stint at the Old Lady was one to remember. After all, he won two titles, but his best was seen in the Champions League. Unfortunately, Dani Alves and that incredible Juventus squad was left empty-handed by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/real-madrid-t23" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Real Madrid</strong></a> in the grand final.</p>
<h2>Zlatan Ibrahimovic</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210810_BUS_174120_zlatan.jpg_22993414_2f935b1e.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Zlatan Ibrahimovic left PSG in 2016 after four years to sign for Manchester United as a free agent. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Swedish superstar made a shocking move to the Premier League in 2016 following a four-year tenure at Paris Saint-Germain. <strong>Jose Mourinho</strong>‘s Manchester United landed a dependable striker for free and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/zlatan-ibrahimovic-t45010" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Zlatan</strong></a> has certainly responded.</p>
<p><strong>Ibrahimovic</strong> hadimpactful first months at Old Trafford, but a cruciate ligament injury ruled him out for most of the second half of the campaign and also kept him on the sidelines in the beginning of 2017/18. Later that year, another injury prevented him from taking part with the first team and then embarked on a new adventure with<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/los-angeles-galaxy-t79590" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>LA Galaxy</strong></a>.</p>

Lionel Messi to PSG: Seven free transfers that were real bargains

Lionel Messi to PSG: Seven free transfers that were real bargains - Bolavip US

<p>For<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/bayern-munich-t112" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bayern Munich</a> </strong>midfielder <strong>Leon Goretzka</strong> it has been a frustrating long hot summer. Goretzka’s camp has grown “irritated” with the lack of progress on the 26-year-olds contract situation at the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/youtube-when-mls-all-stars-beat-bayern-munich-highlights-and-goals-video-20210209-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">German giants</a>. Rumors have started that Bayern may let the contract run out in order to get Goretzka’s wages off their books.</p>
<p>According to Bild, the German midfielder wants to wrap up his contract situation and resign with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/teams-with-most-uefa-champions-league-final-appearances-of-all-time-20201028-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bayern</a>, but the German club is reportedly looking to lighten their books and are willing to lose Goretzka on a free transfer.</p>
<p>The reasoning behind that move from Bayern Munich is that they want to keep spending down at the club so to keep Bayern <em>“financially stable for the long term”.</em> <strong>Now reports indicate that two big European clubs are inquiring over the services of Leon Goretzka.</strong></p>
<h2>Manchester United</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210721_BUS_173202_leon_goretzka_1_crop1626898062069.jpg_22069893_10289f53.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Leon Goretzka with the German title (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Manchester United</strong> is said to be looking for a replacement for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/paul-pogba-t183075" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paul Pogba</a> and that Leon Goretzka may be their man. It has been reported that Manchester United has already sent an offer to Leon Goretzka to join United once his contract at Bayern expires as well as Pogba’s at Manchester United.</p>
<h2>Real Madrid</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210721_BUS_173202_leon_goretzka_2_crop1626897997568.jpg_22069893_dcd910b6.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Leon Goretzka at Bayern (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Spanish giants are also keen on signing the German international, <strong>Real Madrid </strong>has a stacked midfield and are also in financial trouble but would be willing to adjust their books to make way for Leon Goretzka. Again, it would be after his current deal expires next June.</p>
<p>Last season Leon Goretzka played 25 games and scored 5 goals in Bundesliga play, and has been at Bayern for three seasons and has won ten championships with the club.</p>

Transfer Rumor: Leon Goretzka's stay at Bayern in doubt; 2 European giants want him

Transfer Rumor: Leon Goretzka's stay at Bayern in doubt; 2 European giants want him - Bolavip US

<p>There is reason to celebrate at Old Trafford again with the signing of long-time target <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/jadon-sancho-to-manchester-united-is-imminent-details-of-the-deal-20210625-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Jadon Sancho</strong></a>. The now former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/borussia-dortmund-t147" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Borussia Dortmund </a>winger was the subject of a long running transfer saga which ended in a £73 million transfer fee and a five-year <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/manchester-united-t10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Manchester United</a> deal.</p>
<p><strong>The signing comes asa much-needed bit of good news for Manchester United after a Europa League final defeat to Villarreal and the fiasco of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/european-super-league-t173411" target="_blank" rel="noopener">European Super League</a> </strong>which further added fuel to the fire between ManU fans and the Glazer family.</p>
<p>Now looking ahead to this season and their prime target all but assured, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer still has four more names on his wish list and the board still have some negotiating to do. <strong>Here is the current status of Manchester United’s top targets!</strong></p>
<h2>Harry Kane</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210701_BUS_172557_harry_kane_crop1625147561435.jpg_22069893_35f93750.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Harry Kane (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>A long shot transfer, <strong>Harry Kane</strong> has made it no secret that he wants out of Tottenham, with no real plan to overtake the big clubs in England, Kane wants a new challenge. Still Tottenham will not be so eager to sell one of the country’s best forwards to a rival. Kane’s future is most likely out of England.</p>
<h2>Pau Torres</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210701_BUS_172557_pau_torres_crop1625147500415.jpg_22069893_c9e98cf9.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Pau Torres (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Pau Torres </strong>has been on the list since the Europa League Final, and now at the Euros, Villarreal will want to cash in on one of their most valuable players. Torres could be an added improvement to a backline that has had issues. Chances are high that Torres signs with the Red Devils if they pull the trigger.</p>
<h2>Declan Rice</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210701_BUS_172557_declan_rice_crop1625147419023.jpg_22069893_9eb01af2.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Declan Rice (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>One of the best players for England in the Euro’s<strong> Declan Rice</strong> has just turned down two new West Ham contracts in hopes of a move away from the club. Rice fits the mold of the kind of players United want and could make the jump if the Red Devils pay the fee.</p>
<h2>Leon Goretzka</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210701_BUS_172557_sergiokunaguero16_crop1625147320070.jpg_22069893_7fed0188.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Leon Goretzka (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>A little farfetched is the rumor of<strong> Leon Goretzka </strong>to Manchester United. Seen as a replacement for Pogba, Goretzka still has a contract with Bayern Munich and said deal is to expire in 2022. It looks doubtful as a move for this year, but surely United might be keen to get him on a free next season. Pogba is rumored to have been offered a deal which would make him the highest paid player of the Premier League.</p>
