‘Lewandowski not allowed to leave right now’

Berlin, April 13: Speculations about his future don’t seem to disturb Robert Lewandowski significantly. In advance of Bayern Munich’s Champions League quarterfinal second leg against FC Villarreal, the Pole followed familiar patterns.
The 33-year-old spent 15 minutes sitting in the teams’ bus all alone after the Bavarians had arrived at their home ground. Teammates and coaching staff had left the coach when Bayern Munich’s top scorer followed several minutes later as he always does.
Club chairman Oliver Kahn just cleared the fog of speculations, announcing that the star striker is going to play in Bayern’s shirt in the upcoming 2022-2023 season, no matter what “wired media reports” say.
“Just to remind you, we have a contract with him for one more season after the current one,” the 52-year-old said in a TV interview, Xinhua reports.
The former German international tried to end all speculations about an early departure of the Pole this summer. “We are not that crazy and allow a player to leave who stands for a guaranteed 30 to 40 goals per season,” Kahn added. (IANS)
