Barcelona target Lewandowski makes new contract demands to Bayern Munich

With Barcelona keen Robert Lewandowski has made new contract demands to Bayern Munich.

Marca says the Pole has made two demands for his contract renewal with Bayern Munich: A new two-year deal until 2025 and an increase to his current salary, which according to unofficial figures amounts to 24 million euros a year.

Bayern traditionally only give players over the age of 30 a one-year contract - the same is on the table for Manuel Neuer and Thomas Muller - but it appears that they would be willing to make an exception at this point.

On the other hand, his salary is a potentially more contentious area. Lewandowski, who is 33, is already Bayern's highest paid player and a significant increase in his salary could have an impact on other players' demands.

Lewandowski's agent, Pini Zahavi, has been in talks with Barca sporting director Mateu Alemany this week in the city.
