Bayern Munich has already reinvested the millions from the sale of Robert Lewandowski: Germany’s soccer champions and Juventus Turin agree on the change from Matthijs de Ligt.
For the soon to be 34-year-old striker, Bayern received 45 million euros from FC Barcelona, and they are now spending 70 million euros on the goal preventer, who is twelve years his junior. Bonus payments could make the Dutchman more expensive by another ten million euros. “Basically we are very satisfied with the quality in the center of defence. But we can improve in terms of leadership, volume and presence,” explained Bayern’s CEO Oliver Kahn about the transfer.
Yesterday the last details of the contract were negotiated until 2027, today de Ligt travels to the training camp in the USA.
Lewandowski has already arrived there: the Pole joined FC Barcelona’s US tour. “I’m enjoying being here,” said the goalscorer, who was greeted with a handshake by Barça President Joan Laporta and posed for the cameras on the beach. He described the change as the “next step”. “I always wanted to play in LaLiga, always play for a big club,” said Lewandowski. “It was easy to choose Barcelona.”
Zlatan Ibrahimovic continues to play
Even at the age of 40, Zlatan Ibrahimovic still hasn’t had enough: The Swede extended his contract with Italian champions AC Milan for another season. He will have to watch the title defense for the first few months: the striker underwent knee surgery at the end of May.
After the move to Florence failed, Florian Grillitsch could continue his career in Turkey instead of Italy. As several Turkish media reports, the 26-year-old agrees with Galatasaray. The club from Istanbul clearly missed the European Cup last season in thirteenth place.
