Brazilian legend Cafu has admitted that he's been left surprised by rumors linking Robert Lewandowski with a move away from Bayern Munich. The two-time World Cup winner believes the Pole is playing in a “great team” and has no reason to leave the Allianz Arena this summer.
Lewandowski, who joined Bayern Munich from arch-rivals Borussia Dortmund in July 2014, is reportedly (via Sport) looking for a summer transfer. The Poland international has allegedly agreed to join La Liga giants Barcelona in principle and is urging the Bayern board to green-light his move. The Blaugrana are prepared to pay up to €60million to bring the two-time The Best FIFA Men’s Player Award-winner to Camp Nou.
Cafu, however, does not understand why the 33-year-old would want to leave Germany. The former AC Milan defender believes the Bavarians and their no. 9 compliment each other perfectly and are formidable together.
Commenting on the Polish striker’s exit rumors, Cafu said (via Spox):
“He plays in a great team and he plays well in this team - so why should he leave? Playing in this team has helped him become one of the best in the world.”
Since moving to the Allianz Arena, Lewandowski has been scoring at an astounding rate for Bayern Munich. He has registered 339 goals in 366 matches across competitions, winning one Champions League and seven Bundesliga titles in as many seasons.
The striker’s current contract with the German champions will end in the summer of 2023.
Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski wants Real Madrid move
While Barcelona seem to have taken the lead in the race for Lewandowski, their arch-rivals Real Madrid cannot be ruled out just yet. As per the contrasting reports by the Daily Mail, Lewandowski wants to end his career at the Santiago Bernabeu and wishes to join Madrid this summer.
Los Blancos, on the other hand, are seeing the Bavarian star as ‘Plan B,’ with their primary target being Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland (via FanNation). The 21-year-old Norwegian will be available for only €75 million this summer, but the Whites could face stiff competition from other European heavyweights for his signature. Unless they can fend off rivals and land Haaland, Lewandowski could become a potential plan for Madrid ths summer.

exactly..In 2017/18 it was real now its barca..we lost that semifinal due to his rumors..we r huge fan of lewy but undoubtedly what he is today is only because of Bayern & we will survive happily without him..we never depend on a single player..with the kind of squad we have any striker even choupo can score ample goals..if he wants to leave all the best to him but this kind of nonsense rumors should be stopped before important games
It's all about other team planning to out of fucas Bayern but remember we're bayern and we never depend on a star player this is not bayern history we created a superstar...! Other story about gnabry who's is he not fit with great Arsenal when was Arsenal time in PL and we heard another PL unknown team rejected him but when he played for us he's star now but he demand for more money that's against of our clubs rules bayern bosses said maybe end of season will be sale him. And it was a good decision. Alaba. Thiago leave us and we still dominate the world. Never very soon we'll find a replacement of Lewandowski and Gnabry just other players so it's ok.
