if Bayern don't release Lewandowski this season then they will be at a huge loss because next season Lewandowski will leave for free.
the price set by Bayern is too high for a player who will be 34 years old and for a player whose contract only has 1 year remaining, in terms of quality Lewandowski is still very good but overall I think Bayern will definitely let Lewandowski out this season and the club that is the most competitive. close to Lewandowski is Barcelona.
It's not just about being close or far from Barcelona regarding Lewandowski, but also Barcelona's own considerations about being able to buy Lewandowski at Bayern's high price tag. And I don't think Bayern themselves will suffer a loss if they don't release Lewandowski for one more season because Bayern can still benefit from Lewandowski's achievements for next season even though in the end he has to leave for free because he is not young anymore.
