Muller worried about Bayern decided by losing lewandowski
"The stakeholders see Lewandowski should leave the club. There are many reasons to do that. But of course, we do not know what will happen when the team no longer has a player who always scored 30 to 50 goals per season ", Muller told Bild on 24/7.
Bayern had to sell Lewandowski to Barca after the Polish striker demanded to leave. When Bayern did not accept, Lewandowski was cold when returning to the training ground. If the old contract continues, the German team has the right to retain until June 2023.
Lewandowski scored 344 goals in 375 matches for Bayern. The Polish striker ranked second in the list of the most strikes in the history of the German team, only after the legendary Gerd Muller with 563 goals.
Lewandowski started playing for Bayern since 2014, after moving from Dortmund in the form of free players. Except for the first season scored 25 goals in all competitions, he had at least 40 goals in the remaining seven seasons. Lewandowski's peak is 55 goals in the season 2019-2020, the time Bayern won the second triplet in history.
Bayern has not bought a striker instead of Lewandowski. However, Muller did not think the team would be so down that the crisis. He explained: "We can score fewer goals now, but that does not mean that we will not succeed as a team." This striker, after that, took the example of Mario Mandzukic replacing Mario Gomez in 2012 to illustrate. "Mandzukic does not have a good index like Gomez, but we still win the treble, win the Champions League, the Bundeslia and the Cup Cup," Muller said.
In early summer, Bayern bought Sadio Mane. The German team only pays $ 32.5 million to get a winged striker who scored 120 goals through 269 matches for Liverpool. However, Muller said that it was too early to talk about the possibility that Mane could make Bayern forget Lewandowski.
In a friendly match on 24/7, Muller had to kick Lewandowski. Bayern could not score any goals and lost to Man City 0-1. The only goal player is Erling Haaland, an old Bayern goal.
