After a much-needed international break to stop the bleeding, Bayern Munich are back in action this Friday and desperate to get back on track. Julian Nagelsmann faces his counterpart Gerardo Seoane in the midst of a crisis at Leverkusen, who have only won a single game in the league this season. Still, die Werkself are a dangerous side, who easily dispatched Simeone’s Atletico Madrid in the Champions League a few weeks back. With Bayern also suffering from a mini-crisis at the moment, the team cannot afford to go easy on anyone.
Lucas Hernandez (hamstring), Bouna Sarr (patella), Paul Wanner (Covid), and Kingsley Coman (hamstring) are all confirmed to be unavailable for the game. Coman should be back by next week, while Lucas will take still longer to recover. Meanwhile, Leon Goretzka, who suffered a knock in training yesterday, is fit and ready to play.

According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Barcelona will have to pay a higher sum than €50 million to secure the services of Robert Lewandowski in the summer transfer window. Bayern Munich will now tell the Blaugrana to cough up €70 million for the Polish international. The Robert Lewandowski transfer saga continues to get engulfed in uncertainties with every passing day. But one thing that is clear is that the 33-year-old is not leaving Bayern Munich without burning all his bridges with the Bavarian giants, although that is not all his doing.
The Bundesliga champions are arguably being unreasonable by imposing stumbling blocks one after another to deny Barcelona the chance to sign the Polish international. Lewandowski, who has a brilliant record of 344 goals and 72 assists in 374 appearances for Bayern Munich, is admittedly keen on departing from the Allianz Arena, with Barcelona his preferred destination. The Catalan giants view Lewandowski as their priority target for the summer transfer window as they continue to remodel their squad under Xavi Hernandez’s watchful eye.
