A Bayern Muich superstar believes Robert Leandowski will be playing his football at the Allianz next season, despite the rumours he is leaving for Real Madrid.
According to reports, Lewandowski still dreaming a move to Santiago Bernabeu and Real are ready to make a £ 132m bid for the Polish striker.
Speaking to media, Bayern manager Niko Kovac said Lewandowski will not leave the club because he’s their key player at the Bundesliga giants.
“There is nothing new with Robert. The status is that he will not leave the club because he’s our top striker. And certainly we don’t want to give him away and won’t give him away.” Kovac said.
“We want to achieve a lot with him. He is a great footballer. He has already achieved a lot in Bundesliga, he has scores many and will certainly score many goals.
“It’s true that Robert is thinking about playing somewhere else. Naturally, one thing is what he wants, the other is what we want.
Real want a new striker to take over the mantle left by their superstar Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus. The Club is looking for a specific type of player, a top striker, who can fit in Real’s style.
PSG superstars’ Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, Bayern’s Lewandowski Chelsea’s Eden Hazard are all Real’s list of potential transfer targets this summer.
“We are FC Bayern, we have a top striker. We certainly will not let ourselves be persuaded from the outside, that’s the way to do it. Robert has a contract. I don’t know for how long, but he will certainly stay here as long as possible.” Kovac said.

“He is a professional and knows that he also has something to prove to himself and everyone else. He actually already knows this, but we will stay it again, that he will also have to step on the gas.
“He also wants to score goals and be successful. Robert Lewandowski stands for success and goals and he will prove that in the future.” Kovac added.
Lewandowski, who is Bayern’s all-time leading scorer, made 257 appearances for Bayern, netting 180 goals and assisting in a further 51 strikes.
The 29-year-old striker signed for Bayern when his contract expired at the end of 2013/14 season. His current deal runs until June 2021.
