If the Poland striker leaves this summer, Bayern Munich intends to replace him with Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo, per an AS report.

Lewandowski has been linked to a transfer to Barcelona for a while now because the striker is eager to leave Bayern and take on a new challenge. Ronaldo’s attitude at Old Trafford seems to be similar since it is becoming obvious that he wants to go.

Cristiano Ronaldo to Bayern Munich is a serious possibility:

Ronaldo is losing hope that he can win trophies with the Red Devils after Erling Haaland and Darwin Nunez were recruited by Manchester City and Liverpool, respectively. While Bayern apparently tells him that they will compete for the Bundesliga championship again and be one of the favorites to win the Champions League, he doesn’t want to waste his last years at the top level and fail to add to the accomplishments from throughout his career.

The potential transfer of the Portugal international to Bavaria would be viewed as a big victory for the Bundesliga winners and would likely lessen the impact of losing Lewandowski. Ronaldo joining players like Thomas Muller, Kingsley Coman, Leroy Sane, and Serge Gnabry would give them a lot of offensive options, especially after acquiring Sadio Mane.

The 33-year-opening old’s bid from Barcelona, estimated to be around £35 million, has officially been submitted. After speaking with the striker in Mallorca, Bayern’s sports director Hasan Salihamidzic is still hopeful that the Bundesliga’s all-time leading scorer will remain in his current position.

“Lewandowski staying? Until now it’s 100 percent. July 12 is his first day at work, so I’m awaiting him,” he told Sky Germany. “Our meeting with Robert in Mallorca was excellent. Each party provided a fair explanation of their stance.”

Lewandowski made it obvious towards the end of the season in May that he felt his time in Bavaria was coming to an end.

“My time at Bayern is done,” he declared. I don’t think I will ever be able to play for this team again. Bayern is a professional club, and I think they won’t keep me since I no longer want to play there. The ideal answer is a transfer. They better not stop me, I hope.
