R. Lewandowski refused the opportunity to become the most expensive footballer in the world

Munich's "Bayern" star Robert Lewandowski's agent Cezary Kucharski insists that the striker recently rejected an offer to move to China. If the 28-year-old footballer had chosen otherwise, he could have enjoyed a salary exceeding €40 million per year. It would have exceeded even the wage of Carlos Tevez, who moved to Shanghai SIPG. Therefore, the Pole would have become the highest-paid player in the world. However, in December, he decided to extend his contract with the German champions until 2021. "An agent contacted me who brings stars to China," Kucharski told SportoweFakty. "The club name was not mentioned." "If Lewy had decided to move to China, his salary would have been significantly higher than €40 million, which is more than what Carlos Tevez earns." Asked about the reasons for such a choice, Kucharski replied: "It's obvious: Lewy is not only younger but also a better player than Tevez." According to SportoweFakty, "Bayern" club would have also earned 200 million euros for the sale of Lewandowski - almost twice as much as "Manchester United" paid for the record-breaking transfer of Paul Pogba.
