Levan has told his agent Zahavi that he is willing to accept a salary cut in order to join Barca.
Levan and Bayern's contract expires next year, this summer, Levan's possibility of staying in Bayern is very small, all because of the previous dissatisfaction with Bayern's own contract extension, so after media hype, Levan and a number of clubs spread the transfer scandal, but after tossing a bit, only Barca is interested in Levan, but still have to accept a salary cut to sign, now Levan can be described as a dilemma, empty toss a game, I am afraid that the final offer is not as good as staying in Bayern.
It is reported that Levan's annual salary at Bayern is about 12 million euros after tax, and there are bonus income, which is already the top annual salary for the 33-year-old Levan, and among the top striker players, there are indeed very few players who can match Levan, but Levan is still not satisfied.
Levan's requirement for Bayern is that there is some upward fluctuation in the annual salary on the basis of the original, and it needs a 3-year contract, which also proves that Levan wants to keep the last of his career at Bayern, but this requirement is obviously not satisfactory to Bayern, after all, for players over 33 years old, Bayern has never done anything to increase the salary extension and increase the number of years.
Then there was a succession of gossip about Levan's transfer, and Levan's most rumored is Barca, compared to Bayern, Barça is more financially tight, certainly will not make concessions in transfer fees and salaries, so Barça directly offered 8 million euros and a 3-year contract, directly reducing Levan's salary by 30%, which is something Levan did not expect.
And Bayern side also did not budge, with bayern and Levan's contract renewal negotiations broke down, it is certain that Levan has been unable to stay in Bayern, if there is no team to buy this summer, then Levan must wait another year, for young players, free transfer is more conducive to salary growth, but for Levan, the 34-year-old age has not much use value.
Now Levan is in a dilemma, the previous contract with Bayern has 12 million euros, but can not wait another year, Levan can only hope that Barca generously donated, so there is the beginning of the article news, Levan if he wants to join Barca, can only accept a salary cut, otherwise Levan will lose the best transfer time.
In summary, Levan clearly overestimated his value, perhaps using his personal accolades and importance to the team to be aggressive towards Bayern, and Bayern is also very clear that Levan's success depends on Bayern's good platform, otherwise he will remain as obscure as he was at Dortmund.
After tossing and turning, Levan not only did not get a contract extension, but wanted to cut his salary and renew his contract to Go to Barca, and now, Barça has not mentioned Levan's transfer fee, which also proves that although Levan is an interested player in Barca, he wants to transfer fees free of talk.
The final result should be nothing more than two, first, because of the 40 million euro transfer fee, Levan can not join Barca this summer, can only wait for next summer to leave freely, but his own value will be greatly reduced, second, pay cut to join Barca, but the final result may be that Barça gives a salary that is even worse than staying at Bayern.
