<p>Ever since they rose to stardom in world soccer, the <strong>Ballon d’Or</strong> conversation was pretty much about <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/lionel-messi-t13" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Lionel Messi</strong></a> or <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/cristiano-ronaldo-t2" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Cristiano Ronaldo</strong></a>. Between 2008 and 2017, the battle for the award seemed to be exclusively for them.</p>
<p>Even the likes of <strong>Andres Iniesta</strong>, <strong>Xavi</strong>, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/neymar-t25325" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Neymar</strong></a> have struggled to get this coveted prize while the Argentine star and CR7 dominated year after year. But that came to an end in 2018 when <strong>Luka Modric</strong> claimed the prize.</p>
<p>It only took a season for Messito win the award back but <strong>competition has increased since then</strong>. There was no winner in 2020 due to the pandemic-shortened season, so the soccer community is eager for the 2021 awards. Or at least they were <strong>before the winner was apparently leaked</strong>.</p>

<h2>Leaked 2021 Ballon d’Or results reveals Lewandowski is the winner</h2>
<p>A leaked list with the Ballon d’Or results has gone viral on the Internet, erasing much of the expectation there was for the <strong>November 29</strong> ceremony. The list has <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/robert-lewandowski-t137625" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Robert Lewandowski</strong></a> as winner with 627 votes.</p>
<p>Messi, who has a world-record six Ballon d’Ors, is second and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/real-madrid-t23" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Real Madrid</strong></a> striker <strong>Karim Benzema</strong> completes the podium. Other names who appear on the list are <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mohamed-salah-t199197" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Mohamed Salah</strong></a> (4th), <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/kylian-mbappe-t136335" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Kylian Mbappe</strong></a> (6th), and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/erling-haaland-t178262" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Erling Haaland</strong></a> (8th).</p>
<p>Cristiano Ronaldo appears in ninth place, while Neymar is way below sitting 19th. The selection process is already over as all votes have been casted, <strong>what remains to be seen is whether this list proves to be the real one</strong> on November 29.</p>

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi top the list of the 10 highest paid soccer players in the world for 2021

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi top the list of the 10 highest paid soccer players in the world for 2021 - 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>

<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>

<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.

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><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/manchester-city-t74" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Manchester City</strong></a> are in the quest for a world-class striker this summer following club legend <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sergio-ag%C3%BCero-t47494" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Sergio Aguero</strong></a>‘s departure. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/robert-lewandowski-t137625" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Robert Lewandowski</strong></a>, 32, is reportedly monitored by the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/premier-league-t45" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Premier League</strong></a> champions as his future with <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/bayern-munich-t112" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bayern Munich</a></strong> seems uncertain.</p>
<p>It is no secret that the Citizens have made <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/tottenham-t142351" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Tottenham</strong></a> superstar<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/harry-kane-t175503" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Harry Kane</strong></a> their priority target, but given the Spurs’ reluctance to sell theNo. 9 and their unaffordable demands, the attention could be turned to the Polish striker.<strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/pep-guardiola-how-many-champions-league-titles-has-he-won-as-a-coach-manchester-city-barcelona-20210506-0021.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pep Guardiola</a></strong>knows him very well from his stint at Bayern.</p>
<p>According to the <em>Daily Mail</em>, Man City haveLewandowski on their radar as their approach for Kane could be over soon. The 2020/21 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/bundesliga-t111" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Bundesliga</strong></a>top scorer is arguably the greatest center-forward on the planet, yet he is not getting any younger and he might chase a new challenge after seven years of continuous success in Germany.</p>
<h2>Man City switch their attention to Lewandowski</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p>Harry Kane’sunhappiness after another trophyless year in North London made himManchester City’s principal target for next season. City’s<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/champions-league-t24" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Champions League</strong></a>failure alsoproved they needed more firepower to claim a much-needed European prize.</p>
<p>Therefore, the Sky Blues were reportedly willing to splash the cash for the England international, offering over $140 million that wasstill not enough to meet Spurs’ demands, which would consist of a $200 million fee.</p>
<p>As Tottenham chairman <strong>Daniel Levy</strong> proved to be a tough negotiator, Man City have reportedly begun to consider new elite options such as Robert Lewandowski. Even though he is one of the world’s most prolific strikers and has amassed <strong>41 league goals</strong> last season, his value for Bayern would decrease from now on as <strong>next summer he will enter the final year of his contract</strong>.</p>
<p>Lewandowski would be also open to moving to a new league as Bundesliga has been an easy challenge for the Bavarians over the last few years. Besides, Bayern’snew boss <strong>Julian Nagelsmann</strong> has frequently worked without an outright No. 9 inhis career. Whether he will continue that way or if he changes his mind havingLewandowski as an option remains to be seen.</p>
<h2>Bayern targeta potential replacement to Lewandowski</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p>Bayern Munich havebeen in talks with <strong>Cody Gakpo</strong>‘s representatives, according to reports from Germany. The <strong>PSV Eindhoven</strong> winger could fit in Nagelsmann’s system operating as a false-nine and at 22 years of age, he has the potential to keep on improving.</p>
<p>As we’ve said before, the former <strong>RB Leipzig</strong> manager frequently used a system that didn’t require a conventional center-forward and he might continue like that in his new adventure at Bayern.</p>

Report: Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski on the radar of Manchester City

Report: Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski on the radar of Manchester City - Bolavip US

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/robert-lewandowski-t137625" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Robert Lewandowski</strong></a> had successfully filled the shoes of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/lionel-messi-t13" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Lionel Messi</strong></a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/cristiano-ronaldo-t2" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Cristiano Ronaldo</strong></a> in 2020, when he took over their dominance as the world’s best players – asides from <strong>Luka Modric</strong>‘s recognition in 2018 – and went on to have an incredible campaign with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/bayern-munich-t112" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Bayern Munich</strong></a>. The striker finally earned much more praise after being a bit underrated in the previous years, and heis <strong>one of the main stars onthe planet right now</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>At 32 years of age</strong>, the Polecontinues to perform at the highest level. He scored <strong>43 goals in 37 appearances</strong>in the current campaign. Despite it won’t be able to retain its <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/champions-league-knockout-stage-schedules-results-bracket-scores-20201214-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>UEFAChampions League</strong></a> crown, his team is walking towards a new <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/bundesliga-t111" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Bundesliga</strong></a> title for the ninth straight year. However, <strong>the <em>Bavarians</em> are facing big changes for the next season</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>David Alaba</strong> and <strong>Jerome Boateng</strong>‘s contracts are set to expire in June, enabling them to move <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/messi-aguero-and-ramos-in-2021-free-agents-starting-11-players-out-of-contract-20210412-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anywhere else as free agents</a>. Besides, <strong>Hans Dieter-Flick</strong> will step down at the end of this term as well, with <strong>Julian Nagelsmann</strong> already confirmed to take over. Lewandowski could be on the move too: it was reported that his agent<strong>intends to push for a transfer this summer unless</strong> his player’s contract receives an upgrade.</p>
<h2>Premier League looks like a possibledestination for Lewandowski</h2>
<p>As reported by the German newspaper <em>BILD</em>, the striker’s agent, <strong>Pini Zahavi, would be ready to claim Bayern’s board to either hand Robert Lewandowski a better deal or negotiate him</strong> to a club thatmeets his salary demands.</p>
<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_20210504_BUS_170760_lewandowski_bayern.jpg_22993414_71c7cf0d.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Will Lewandowski take his goals to new places? (Getty).   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>That new possible candidate could be inside the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/premier-league-t45" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Premier League</strong></a>, where many teams have showninterest in him previously. Besides, <strong>who wouldn’t be eager to bring in such a goalscoring machine who is performing at his peak?</strong> Many giants from all over the continent were linked to the Polestar in the last years.</p>
<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/real-madrid-t23" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Real Madrid</strong></a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/psg-neymar-s-future-in-paris-isn-t-guaranteed-sporting-director-says-20210503-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>PSG</strong></a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/manchester-united-eye-three-replacements-if-paul-pogba-does-not-resign-20210503-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Manchester United</strong></a>, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/chelsea-romelu-lukaku-is-on-target-and-inter-would-receive-a-huge-transfer-fee-premier-league-20210429-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Chelsea</strong></a> were some of those. The two English sides could be possible candidates if he decides to leave, as <strong>both needa No. 9 and would be able to afford the signing</strong>.</p>
<p>However, the <em>Bavarians</em> aren’t in a hurry to sell theirgoalscoring machine as <strong>his contract still has a couple of years left, expiring in 2023</strong>. But refusing to take care of his agents’ demands wouldn’t be a smart move. Bayern’s board could <strong>either satisfy the player by handing him a better contract, or they could listen to offers at the end of the season</strong> and let him leave for a good amount of cash.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>According to<em>Transfer Markt</em>, Robert Lewandowski’s market value is $66 million. <strong>For interested teams, it means areal bargain</strong> for such a world-class goalscorer, while <strong>for his current club, itwould also be a great income</strong> taking into account his32 years of age(which willturn33 in August).</p>
<p>For that kind of money, <strong>it would make much more sense for Bayern to considera transfer</strong> rather than resistinguntil he leaves for free. Meanwhile, he won’t be short ofoffers, as any club would be delighted to have him. Needless to say, many Premier League and other European teams have the budget to go for Lewandowski.</p>
