Lewandowski expects to sign Bayern Munich contract in January

Bad news, Man United fans — the Polish international is determined to move to Bayern.

ROBERT LEWANDOWKSI EXPECTS to sign a pre-contract with Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich in January.

The Borussia Dortmund striker is out of contract at the end of this season and manager Jurgen Klopp resigned to losing the Polish international.

Although Manchester United were also keen on signing him, Lewandowski revealed last night that he will tie up his move to Pep Guardiola’s Bayern in January.

“Then I can officially sign the contract,” he told Sport1 after Dortmund’s DFB-Pokal win against 1860 Munich.

Lewandowski had been linked with a switch to the Allianz Arena during the summer but after losing playmaker Mario Götze to their rivals, Dortmund insisted on keeping him for the final year of his contract.

    As far as I’m aware financial revenue is the big thing and while Milan haven’t been bringing in a huge amount in terms of ticket sales, commercial revenue has still been quite high while they’ve been in the footballing wilderness.

    Shit-show is such an underused way to describe something. Brilliant

    they are only not facing ffp because they are not in Europe this season, will be screwed next year unless the new owner finds investors who will pour serious money in , borrowed money all around to buy the club and players, and are pretty much in a vulture fund with elliot management group who will take over if loans are not paid back next year. Apparently they are waiting on bonds to come through to even pay for some of their signings so they can’t play competitive matches until mid/end of August

    Financial FairPlay is the biggest pile of shite. UEFA are useless. Good at fining clubs for minor indiscretions but when it comes to proper governing and safe guarding of the game they are inept.
