Leon Goretzka on
Tuesday tried to calm the simmering tensions between his want-away Bayern
Munich team-mate Robert Lewandowski and club bosses, with Barcelona reportedly
eager to sign the star striker.

“I think overall
it was an unbelievable success story for both
FC Bayern and ‘Lewy’,” Bayern
midfielder Goretzka said while with the Germany squad.
“And just to pay
tribute to that story, I would be happy if both sides took the emotion out of
it and tried to find a good solution for everyone involved.”
While with the
Poland team on Monday, Lewandowski, 33, repeated his wish to quit the Munich
giants with a year left on his contact by insisting “my story with Bayern has
come to an end”.
Barcelona are
reportedly offering Bayern 32 million euros ($34.5 million) to sign him on a
three-year contract, but bosses at Germany’s top club insist Lewandowski will
not leave before his contract expires in 2023.
Hours after
Lewandowski alleged his Bayern career is over, club CEO
Oliver Kahn on Monday
said he was disappointed the striker had gone public. “Such statements in
public don’t get anyone anywhere.”
Since joining
Bayern in 2014, Lewandowski has won every title available, including eight
Bundesliga trophies for a total of 10 having won two with ex-club Dortmund.
Lewandowski was
top-scorer in the Bundesliga last season for the fifth year running after
netting 35 goals in Germany’s top flight.
He also won the Champions
League with
Bayern in 2020 and in January he was named back-to-back winner of
the FIFA best male player award.
