When Robert Lewandowski speaks in the German media, it always sounds very moderate – when he wants to bring out the heavy artillery against his employer Bayern Munich, he speaks in his home country of Poland. His change request has also been known there for a long time.

Lewandowski wants to change again: It’s summer, Robert Lewandowski wants to leave FC Bayern – not an unusual situation, but the Polish top scorer was never as serious as this time. The signals sent out by the striker were all ignored by the Munich management.

Short, compact, clear

Wish already a year ago: Apparently you just had to listen carefully. Tomasz Hajto (49), former Bundesliga player for Schalke and Nuremberg, who now works as a TV expert in Poland, said on “Sport1”: “Robert and I always met. He had wanted to change a year ago. A player like him now has the last chance to feel something new in football.”

Criticism of Bayern bosses: In the fight between Bayern and Lewandowski, Hajto sides with his compatriot: “Robert is 33 and knows exactly what he wants. He can say anything. In Poland, everyone is behind Robert.” At the same time, he criticizes the Munich bosses: “It should have been discussed internally. This action by Robert to rush ahead – that would not have happened with Rummenigge and Hoeneß. The theater now doesn’t need Robert, nor do Bayern need it.”
