Robert Lewandowski Open to Mediation With Former Agent Accused of Blackmailing Barcelona Star

• Robert Lewandowski is currently serving a three-game ban after Barcelona's appeal failed
• The Polish captain could be headed to court against his former agent over blackmail claims
• Cezary Kucharski is accused of trying to blackmail Lewa and his wife over tax irregularity

Barcelona striker, Robert Lewandowski has troubles on the pitch and troubles off the pitch as well.

The Polish star is currently serving a three-game suspension after he was sent off against Osasuna, but has another more pressing issue that he's dealing with currently.

As reported by USA Today at the time, Lewandowski's former agent was allegedly trying to blackmail the player.

The striker was represented by Cezary Kucharski until 2018, before he moved to Pini Zahavi. News then surfaced that Kucharski was trying to blackmail the now-Barcelona star.

Kucharski publicly accused Lewandowski and his wife of tax irregularities in Germany, threatening to reveal the details if they didn't pay him money, the publication noted.

Lewandowski denied the accusations and took action.

The former Bayern Munich star resorted to taking the legal route against his former agent, with Kucharski detained in 2020 over the blackmail charges.

A tribunal has been scheduled for February 2023 to deal with the matter.

Football Espana reports that the Polish captain is also open to mediation with Kucharski before the matter is taken to court.

Lewandowski has spent some time in court recently as Barcelona attempted to appeal his ban. The striker will be available for the club's Spanish SuperCopa game against Real Betis and a possible final, but will miss their next two La Liga fixtures.

Barcelona are reportedly aggrieved with the La Liga hierarchy, following the decision to reject the appeal from the Catalan club regarding the three-match ban imposed on Lewandowski.
