Robert Lewandowski’s departure to Barcelona was confirmed this week after 12 seasons in the Bundesliga, and as such, Bayern Munich have been tasked with replacing one of, if not the, finest striker of his generation. While replacing a player who scored a breathtaking 344 goals in 375 games is a near-impossible undertaking, it will be interesting to see the type of profile the German champions will attempt to bring in. While the Polish international undoubtedly defined an unprecedented period of dominance in Germany for Bayern Munich, they were right to sell him as he approached 34, even if they were reluctant to do so. £42.5m leaves the hierarchy with a substantial budget to finance a replacement, and while the arrival of former Liverpool winger Sadio Mane will add a serious goal threat, t...
