Transfer fee isn't THAT much of a big deal.
Problem is his wages and how much they weigh on the books.

Doesn't sound believable at all. Bayern fans used to complain about RL9 being too professional and emotionally detached from the club.
Also, numerous reports that he's one of the players in the dressing room who is firmly against Xavi's methods and tactics.

Xavi brought him here and gave him a leading role. When Xavi goes, that veil of protection will be lifted.
If a good offer comes from Saudi it will be the best for everyone

And amid the run of poor results the Athletic claim that privately multiple dressing room heavyweights, including Robert Lewandowski, had not always “maintained a positive relationship” with Xavi.
The Athletic, SportsBible and a few other sources on social media from what I remember. Also, Bar Canaletes, Football Espana. Basically multiple reports for a month or so.
Also, Xavi openly criticised him in a press conference recently. Plus, general body language on the pitch and substitutions, cold handshakes.
Kinda obvious that their relationship is fractured.

Flick and Tuchel are 2 managers you rate very highly, right?
Let me tell you both of them are huge fans of Robert. Tuchel tried to sign him for Chelsea too.
Most managers respect and admire him and won't bench him straight away. He'll definitely be in the first lineups to start with.

RLStine has scored 25 goals in his last 60 games at Barca. While being a terror at hold up play and passing and running behind defense.
He’s a bonafide bum in 2024 that no serious coach will touch. He’s lucky Xavi started him so much. Tuchel would have binned him already.

Flick met him when he was in his prime and scoring 50 goals per season. Tuchel prob has this instance as his reference.
I know you like him mate, but he only worked for 3 months until the 2022WC.
After that, he has been a disaster.
Besides, and pitch reasons aside, we are now having a squad for the future, and there is no point in overpaying a granny ex-top tier player.

Always was a moronic signing and was amazing deal for Bayern.
50m for a 34 yr old with one year left.. then take into account his huge salary that INCREASES the older he gets and then talk of 20m for his agents etc.
Just no planning in slightest from Xavi and board with shite like that.

He was in tears over Xavi leaving.
This man's soft as a mother fucker. Although we see that already on the field.
Emotional hoe.
No wonder we losing.
