"For Robert Lewandowski, FC Bayern is history. Robert wants to leave FC Bayern after eight years in which he gave the club everything. Now, at almost 34, he has the opportunity to fulfil a lifetime dream and join the club he always dreamed of," Pini Zahavi, the player's agent, has told Sport Bild.
"Why is FC Bayern denying him this opportunity? For Robert, the matter is very clear: he wants to leave FC Bayern this summer. Nobody cares about money here, neither Robert nor me. He hasn't felt respected by the people in charge for months, that's the truth.
"Robert is a very intelligent person, not just the best striker in the world. He knows exactly what's going on around him and what FC Bayern had planned.
"So Robert knew all along that Bayern wanted to replace him with Haaland. Erling's father has even confirmed it, he said some time ago in a personal conversation: 'Erling is going to Bayern at 50% - 'The football world is big, but there are no secrets...
"I certainly hope that the people in charge and the Supervisory Board will rethink their decision. Of course, they can keep Robert for a year - he has a contract until 2023, but I would not recommend that. For Robert Lewandowski, FC Bayern is history."
In the same interview, Zahavi denied that there was any agreement with a club.
It's been reported that Barcelona have already submitted a first offer for Lewandowski. It's said that the Polish striker will be their top signing for this summer.
