MANUEL NEWER
Goalkeeper, 39 years old
German, Bayern Munich (ALE)
After 15 years at Bayern (much of that time wearing the captain’s armband), it is difficult to imagine the historic goalkeeper wearing another shirt. But, if even Thomas Müller, who had even more time at Allianz Arena, went to another club, why can’t the same happen with Neuer? The almost forty-year-old has already spoken a few times about the possibility of spending time in the USA before ending his career. The only door Neuer has already closed is that of the Middle East: he made it clear that he does not intend to play in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other countries in the region.
ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI
Striker, 37 years old
Polish, Barcelona (ESP)
The former best player in the world only played 28 minutes in Barcelona’s last three matches and has less and less space under coach Hansi Flick, who prefers the mobility and vitality of Ferrán Torres to command the attack. Lewandowski knows his days in Catalonia are coming to an end. The question is whether he waits for the end of his contract, which ends with the current season, or whether he asks to be released earlier, in this window. The strongest rumors indicate that the Pole’s next destination will be football in the United States – Chicago Fire and Orlando City are the favorites to sign him.
