Any Robert Lewandowski suitors will get same response as Chelsea, says Bayern chief

Any Robert Lewandowski suitors will get same response as Chelsea, says Bayern chief

Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has stated he expects star forward Robert Lewandowski to stay at the club despite links to Spanish giants Real Madrid

Lewandowski has gone from strength to strength since his move to Bayern in 2014 from Bundesliga rivals Borussia Dortmund.


The Poland international striker has scored an incredible 142 goals in 184 games in all competitions, averaging a goal every 1.29 games.

This season his form has continued to flourish – scoring 32 times in 39 appearances – but that has meant some of Europe’s biggest clubs, including Real Madrid, have been linked with moves to sign the 29-year-old. NaijaBet.com




However, Bayern CEO Rummenigge spoke to Kicker regarding the potential sale of their top-scorer, insisting that he doesn’t think Lewandowski will go anywhere, especially when looking back at previous attempts by other clubs to poach their best players.

“I like to assume that Robert is one hundred percent going to play at Bayern Munich next season,” said Rummenigge, before mentioning Chelsea’s 2009 offer for winger Franck Ribery, thought to be worth upwards of £50 million.

“What should motivate us to take a different direction? I always like to remember the year 2008, when we had an amazing offer from Chelsea for Franck Ribery. NaijaBet.com


“From that day on, the whole world of football knew, nobody can buy a Bayern Munich player against the will of Bayern Munich.”

Since 2014, Lewandowski has won three Bundesliga titles – this will most likely be four after the current campaign concludes – a DFB Pokal cup, and two DFL Supercups.

He has also been top-scorer for the Bundesliga for two seasons running and will most likely reproduce this feat come the end of this term, as well as being voted into the German top flight’s Team of the Season every year since his move to Bavaria, three years in a row overall. NaijaBet.com

Bayern can win the league this Saturday by beating Lewandowski’s old club Dortmund should Schalke fail to pick up three points at home to Freiburg.
