Bayern Munich's futile pursuit of Erling Haaland could see them pay the ultimate price of losing Robert Lewandowski this summer.
The prolific Pole has struck 45 times in 37 appearances for Bayern this season, however, there remain question marks over his future at the club. The 33-year-old is out of contract in the summer of 2023 and, as of yet, a fresh Bayern offer has not been forthcoming.
Lewandowski recently admitted that he is "open to anything" as the uncertainty surrounding his future lingers on and the striker won't be short of suitors come the end of the season. Though Bayern reportedly remain confident of tying him down to a new deal, the club's pursuit of his potential replacement could prove costly.
