Lewandowski’s biography reveals: Barcelona asked Lewandowski to stop scoring goals to avoid paying Bayern 2.5 million euros

November 19 According to the "Daily Sports" report, a personal biography of Lewandowski published in Poland revealed that Barcelona had informed Lewandowski in the 2022/23 season that it wanted him to stop scoring goals to avoid paying Bayern additional bonuses.

The book "Lewandowski: The Real Side" written by Sebastian Staszewski has aroused widespread discussion in Poland. This biography about Lewandowski revealed that if Lewandowski scores more than 25 league goals in the 2022/23 season, Barcelona will need to pay Bayern a bonus worth 2.5 million euros, and the club claimed at the time that they were facing financial problems.

Barcelona won La Liga four rounds ahead of schedule under the leadership of Xavi, and Lewandowski performed well that season. After a training session, he was called into the office to talk to several senior executives, including Laporta. One of the senior executives made a suggestion that confused Lewandowski: "Robert, we need you to stop scoring goals in the last few rounds of the league.".

Lewandowski looked at the opponent in surprise. Although the championship had been determined and there was almost no suspense about the top scorer, in his career of more than ten years, no one had ever asked him to score a goal.

In the end, Lewandowski failed to score in the last two rounds of the league, and his number of league goals stayed at 23, becoming the La Liga Golden Boot.
