The Robert Lewandowski saga appears to be reaching its peak. On Monday in a press conference with the Polish national team ahead of their Nations League match against Wales, he stated that his time with Bayern Much is done.

"My era at Bayern is over," Lewandowski said. "I don't see any possibility to continue playing for this club anymore."

That is a definitive and surprising statement from Lewandowski coming off of a season in which he scored 35 goals in the Bundesliga, assisting three more. But only winning the league and being knocked out of Champions League play by Villarreal makes this quite a disappointing season for the German giants overall. They're already linked to a replacement to Lewandowski in the form of Liverpool's Sadio Mane, but the veteran is under contract until the end of the 2023 season, so any interested clubs will need to negotiate with both him and Bayern Munich.

While Lewandowski was already wanted by Barcelona, his plea to leave Bayern in this way was unexpected.
