Lewandowski returns to Munich alone after ‘DEATH THREATS’ as he leaves wife and kids behind amid Barcelona transfer saga
BAYERN MUNICH’S wantaway star Robert Lewandowski has returned to Germany without his family after receiving DEATH THREATS amid the ongoing Barcelona transfer saga.
Lewandowski, 33, has expressed his desire to leave Bayern this summer and appears determined to join Barca even though he has one more year left in his contract with the Bavarian giants.
According to WP SportoweFakty, the star striker returned to Munich from his summer break alone today after recent death threats he received on social media amid the ongoing drama.
The Poland international’s wife Anna and his children stayed behind as he came back for some annual medical tests, which are routine for every Bayern player before pre-season.
There were reports suggesting the 33-year-old would strike to force a move away from the Allianz Arena.
However, the Polish superstar proved that is not the case and actually never considered that option.
