“The club sought to avoid paying bonuses”, — write: sport.ua
Barcelona turned to Robert Lewandowski with a request not to score in the last two matches of the 2022-2023 season to avoid paying a bonus to Bayern Munich for his transfer.
According to the source, the Polish forward said that the management of the club, in particular the president of “Blaugranas” Joan Laporta, asked him to reduce the performance, because otherwise the Catalans would have to transfer 2.5 million euros to “Bavaria”.
This conversation took place already after “Barcelona” secured the championship in La Liga ahead of schedule. In that season, Lewandowski scored 23 goals in the Spanish championship.
