Bayern will not sell Lewandowski, even for €150m – Rummenigge
The Poland international wants to leave the
German club but even a huge offer will not
convince them to let him go in this transfer
window
Bayern Munich will not sell Robert
Lewandowski, even if a bid of €150
million
(£134m/$175m) is made, according to
chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.
Lewandowski's agent revealed in May that
the striker wants to leave Bayern, and this
week head coach Niko Kovac admitted
that the striker still "toys" with the
prospect of leaving after four successful
years at the Allianz Arena, but insisted the
club will not grant his wish.
Real Madrid have been linked with the 29-
year-old for some time, while Maurizio
Sarri has reportedly identified him as a
top
Chelsea target during the final nine days
of
the Premier League's transfer window.
Last week, Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-
Joachim Watzke said his side would be
willing to pay €100m (£88.8m/$116m) to
bring him back from their Bundesliga
rivals.
However, Rummenigge says there is no
amount of money that could be offered
that will make Bayern change their stance
on the Poland international, who has three
years left on his contract.
"With Robert, we clearly want to send a
signal to people within and outside the
club: Bayern Munich are completely
different to other clubs who get weak
when certain sums come along," he told
TZ.
"We want to show that our door remains
closed. We are completely satisfied with
him, and, in his position, there are only a
few players who are comparable.
We have no interest in selling him and it
does not matter if somebody offers €100
or €150 million. The top quality we have
stays with us."
Lewandowski has won four Bundesliga
titles, two DFL-Supercups and the DFB-
Pokal since joining Bayern from Borussia
Dortmund in 2014.
He has finished as top goalscorer in
Germany's top flight in three of the last
five seasons, including 2017-18, in which
he scored 29 league goals.
