Lewandowski's agent confirms Porto bid: “They tried till the end” | OneFootball

Robert Lewandowski was once on FC Porto’s list of possible signings. Confirmation of the contacts was given by Pini Zahavi, the striker’s agent and representative, to the Polish outlet SportoweFakty.

“That’s right, I spoke to him myself. I know Robert well and I knew what he was looking for. I knew he wanted to enjoy himself with the ball, feel like a leader, love and be loved. And FC Porto could offer him that, so it seemed like an interesting option. They wanted him very much and tried to convince him until the very last moment, but Lewy was not interested in FC Porto,” Pini Zahavi said.

André Villas-Boas had also already commented on the matter, revealing that salary was an obstacle to the signing. The Polish international would go on to choose Chicago Fire, the club he currently represents in MLS.
